Hotel del Coronado Love

2 Moms Vacationing
These 2 moms enjoyed a San Diego vacation on our Mission Bay Bike Tour. South Shores Park is a little used beach at the south end of Mission Bay in San Diego. This small park has picnic tables, a covered picnic spot, a beach with fire rings, and a view toward Sea World next door. There is a large boat launch next to the park and that is why most people visit this undeveloped part of Mission Bay...

Coronado Kiteboarding
Don't be surprised if the next time you go to Coronado's beach you see a person zipping through the water (and flying into the air) while being pulled by a giant kite.

Kiteboarders are able to ride continuously rather than sitting and waiting for waves like surfers...
23 Years later Armando Sees His “CORONADO” Sign!
In 1988 Armando was hired to cover up the Coronado Beach Sea Weed from recent storms. He decided to be creative and write something. It took a couple of years but what an incredible piece of art!

Sunken Ship – Do I Dare?
‘Sin Ship’ was destroyed by a storm in 1936. The 2016 El Niño storms cleaned up the shore and the SS Monte Carlo is more visible than ever. Excited tourists and locals have seen walking, climbing and even exploring the wreckage looking for silver coins! In the Prohibition days, the ship was anchored in international waters to avoid U.S. laws. People searching for gambling, prostitution or bootleg whiskey would take smaller boats out to the ‘sin ship’ for a night of revelry...
Coronado’s Silver Strand
