A walk beyond the beach

Coronado’s charm lies not only in its shoreline but in the strip that links the historic Hotel del Coronado to the Naval Air Station. Strolling this promenade, you’ll encounter modest 1920s bungalows, boutique surf shops, and murals that narrate the town’s military heritage. Stop at the small museum tucked under the pier for photographs of the first seaplane flights that lifted off from the bay. The route offers a compact view of the city’s evolution, from a resort enclave to a strategic defence post, without the crowds that dominate the main promenade.

Cycling the peninsula

Rent a hybrid bike and take the low‑traffic loop that circumnavigates Coronado Island. The ride weaves through tree‑lined avenues, past the National Hotel’s rustic backyard garden, and across the narrow bridge that offers a breezy view of downtown San Diego’s skyline. Early mornings in summer reveal a mist that lifts from the bay, while autumn brings a gentle, cooler wind ideal for longer rides. Pack a picnic from the local farmer’s market and enjoy it at the quiet tip of the peninsula, where the Pacific stretches unimpeded.

What guidebooks miss: the local food swap

While the seafood restaurants along Orange Avenue are well‑documented, residents often congregate at a modest ramen shop near the ferry terminal. Here, the chef swaps traditional Japanese broth for a dash of locally sourced wheat beer, creating a subtle, malty depth. Pair it with a side of pickled cactus—an experiment that reflects Coronado’s willingness to blend California produce with Asian techniques. The venue is unmarked on most tourist maps, making a quick stop after a sunset walk a small culinary surprise.

Introduction

Redirect to:Coronado, California From a modification: This is a redirect from a modification of the target's title or a closely related title. For example, the words may be rearranged. Please note that there are many more specific templates. Please use {{R from alternative spelling}}, {{R from alternative hyphenation}}, {{R from alternative punctuation}}, {{R from alternative spacing}} and {{R from misquotation}} where relevant; see subcategories of Category:Redirects from modifications for other options (capitals, abbreviations, diacritics, plurals, stylizations, transliteration, ligatures, different parts of speech, etc.). If you are unsure which to use, this template is fine; someone will make it more specific later if necessary. In cases of modification from distinctly longer or shorter names, please use {{R from long name}} or {{R from short name}}, respectively. In mainspace, an abbreviation should be tagged with {{R from initialism}} or, if it can be spoken like a word such as NASA and RADAR, use {{R from acronym}}. Use this rcat instead of {{R from other capitalisation}} and {{R from plural}} in namespaces other than mainspace for those types of modification. This may also apply to several other subcategories of modification; please check those templates' output before saving if using outside of mainspace.
