Attractions Around Coronado

Coronado is sometimes called an island, but technically it's a peninsula, a thin strip of land attached to the mainland on one end, so narrow that in some places you can see water from both sides of the road. It sits across San Diego Bay from downtown, giving the bay-facing locations some great city views.
