San Diego Ideas: Coronado
Many people think of Coronado as an island, but it's really just
a peninsula masquerading as an island; the bulk of it is
connected to the mainland down south by a long, thin strip of
land called the Silver Strand. But no matter what you call it,
Coronado is definitely one of the more scenic places to visit in
San Diego. The island (I say it too) has over 15 miles of
dedicated bike paths that will take you along San Diego Bay, the
Pacific Ocean, the golf course, under the Coronado Bay Bridge,
and down Silver Strand. The nice thing is that the whole area is
relatively flat, allowing you to enjoy terrific views of the San
Diego Skyline, Pacific Ocean, and beaches without wearing
yourself out. Add in a stop at the Hotel Del Coronado to explore
the grounds and white sand beaches of this world-famous hotel
and you have a great date in San Diego.
Now for the nuts and bolts. If you're staying downtown, I'd
recommend taking the ferry across the bay and renting bikes
right there at the Coronado ferry landing. To get there head
over to the San Diego ferry landing at the intersection of N.
Harbor Drive and Broadway, the ferry leaves every hour on the
hour from 9am-9pm. After crossing the bay you'll find Bikes and
Beyond right there. The company offers beach cruisers, road
bikes, tandem bikes, and surreys, and while they don't take
reservations, there are generally plenty of bikes available. If
you're worried, call them ahead of time at (619) 435-7180 and
ask what their current inventory's like. Those outside of
walking or taxi distance can drive over the Coronado Bay Bridge
and park at the Ferry Landing. You'll miss out on the ferry
ride, but you'll also miss out on searching for places to park
and paying for it like you would on the San Diego side.
Rent your transportation and then begin a leisurely ride south
along the coast, going under the bridge and next to the golf
course until you reach Glorietta Blvd. Take a left and follow
Glorietta all the way down to the Hotel Del. After spending some
time walking through the hotel interior, grounds, beach, and
shops, relax with lunch at Sheerwater or Sunday brunch in the
Crown Room. When you've finished lunch, you can bike around the
center of town, head north along the coast up to the Naval Air
Station and golf course, or continue south down Silver Strand.
If you're feeling energetic, head south on Silver Strand (ocean
side) and ride the asphalt trail that runs the length of the
peninsula. It's a completely flat, 18-mile round trip with views
of the ocean on one side and the bay on the other.
Don't forget to bring a hat and sunblock. Have a great time!
