Situated on a peninsula just across the bay from Downtown San Diego and the Gaslamp Quarter, Coronado is nicknamed the Crown City since its name translates to “crowned one” in Spanish. But Coronado is a gem in its own right, touting a small-town atmosphere along with a world-class beach.
Coronado is small enough that the whole community is within walking and biking distance. Orange Avenue, lush with rows of various trees, serves as Coronado’s vibrant main street, boasting a bevy of shops, eateries, cafes, galleries, theaters, and the famed Coronado Museum of History and Art.
Options for outdoor recreation are abundant in Coronado, at Coronado Tidelands Park, Coronado Beach and Dog Park, and Silver Strand State Beach. Numerous residents enjoy easy commutes from Coronado, which contains a naval base and is proximate to Downtown San Diego.
