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. The sport is called kiteboarding and it is the perfect mix of surfing, windsurfing, wakeboarding and paragliding. 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! Armondo never saw it from above until 2011 when Jenny and Molly Cooper hired a plane and showed him. Here's a video of him...
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
Some of our riders like a longer than normal route so we take them on the Silver Strand Bike Path with lots of Rest Stops. This is a great place for cyclists to enjoy the views as they pedal along the palm-tree-lined path leading from Coronado to Chula Vista...
No Rain Just Flamingos!
Rain was Predicted - But SUN Everywhere! 90% of the time when rain is forecast here in San Diego it doesn't happen. Our Coronado Tour Bike Riders and the local Flamingos seem to like that! Just a 5 minute walk to the Marriott Hotel to see them...

Haunted Hotel del Coronado?
Kate Morgan made plans for Thanksgiving weekend in 1892 to be with her married "boyfriend" at the Hotel Del. On the train there they got in a big fight. They got off the train mad at each other. She checked in to the Hotel Del by herself, walking the beach, hoping he would return. He never did. She was found dead with a shot to the head. Who shot her has always been debated. Some say it was self-inflicted, some say otherwise. Many say that room, # 3327 is truly haunted. I personally don't believe in ghosts BUT I wouldn't stay there...
Spinning in Paradise
We see lots of art on our Coronado Bike Tour but this is most riders' favorite. "Bring the metal to life. This is my mantra as an artist." says Amos. You can find out more about this incredible artist here...
