My husband and I love Coronado. He moved from Texas and his job paid for his apartment on Coronado. So we basically had most our dates there and he proposed to me there too. When I first moved there, every weekend I rode my bike around Coronado. I loved looking at the beautiful houses. Coronado is a special place still after 25 years later
My grandma lives in Coronado. In fact, I am visiting her right now as I'm watching this. I call Coronado the land of millionaires and grandparents, because those are the only people that can live here. If you can afford to visit Coronado, I would recommend seeing the Del during Christmas. They put up a huge tree in the lobby and cover the roof in lights. It's pretty cool. Of course, the only reason I can visit Coronado is because my grandma lives here. I can't afford it otherwise. Also, my grandma is president of the Coronado Bridge and Bay Garden Club. They have a small float in the 4th of July parade and my sister and I have been marching as flamingos for three years in the parade.
I grew up on Coronado during the 60’s and 70’s, back then it was just a small navy town with lots of retired and active duty military. Fun place to grow up
Awesome video! I’m a California Girl but never explored Coronado. I’m inspired now to go & use your video as a guide. Thank you so much for sharing & creating this video. I’m looking forward for more upload on our beautiful Golden State, California.🙏🏽👍🏽💗💯
FYI The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by Frank L. Baum was published in 1900 in Chicago. Four years later Baum and his wife left Chicago to spend their winters in Coronado. He did continue to add more books to the Oz series which he wrote in Coronado, but not the original book everyone has come to love.
Work on the hotel del for two in half year they just redid the whole front of the build an couple other building trying to make it like it was in the 60s
I used to visit Admiral Jim Stockdale and wife Sybil off Orange Ave Admiral Jim was highest ranking officer 5yrs as POW in Hanoi Hilton prison in no Vietnam Jim was a wonderful friend to me in our Medal of Honor gatherings
The Spreckels House, the site of a "murder" and suicide with the stepmother hanging nude off the rear balcony. This was in the early 2000's. Hotel Del Coronado finished a long renovation and addition to new hotel/condo units. It is a nice place, too many tourists and every inch of the place has been monetized. Drinks are watered down and prices are generally too high for the services rendered.
@@Voyagerhq It was quite the talk of the town. at the time. I keep a small place at Coronado Shores and try to stay tuned into what's happening around town. That was also about the same time two Navy pilots, and a girlfriend were found murdered in their rented house after bringing a "friend" home with them.
The waters off Coronado and the Silver Strand have been polluted by raw Mexican sewage lately. Many days are 'Red Flag" days when entry into the ocean is forbidden. It is a chronic problem, unfortunately.
If you pause at the :34 second mark and zoom in to the military base at the end of the silver strand, you will notice a building in the shape of a swastika sign.
Yes those upper levels are known for that. It’s a creepy area to walk through. They just finished building a brand new addition of hotel rooms but I’m not sure if they will update the original structure.
Disclaimer : it's all expensive. Hotel Del is almost 1k a night. But as long at your just 'visiting' it shouldnt be too expensive. Just don't go there excpecting to be able to do EVERYTHING
I lived there for a few years and the bridge would be closed regularly for that reason. A few times I had to drive down the stand to get off the island.

That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing! I lived there for a few years by the Ferry Landing. It’s one of the most beautiful places to live.
Great job showing off its beauty
Appreciate the history lesson. Ghanks

I also lived there for a few years. It’s an amazing place.
I lived on A Ave. in 1983/84 and this video made me nostalgic, for sure. Wonderful area if you can afford it !
I agree! I lived there for 3 years and still visit quite often. It’s a beautiful place.
Great summary. I loved my two years there.
Why you left the place?
I was temporarily stationed at the Coronado amphib base in1970 June July August, navy,was a fun time in my life.

I’ve seen that. It looks great!
Didn't come to Coronado for the sun. So screw that bell we're havin' fun.
🤘
Dang it San Diego, I only have a few days and you have too many interesting things to see.
Very well done...I'm subbed! I lived in S.D. in Ocean Beach in the 70s ....
What a time that probably was. Jelly ❤
@@knikkaknikk86 It was pretty wild then...
LOL ...

its weird seeing travel guides about where you live

The Spreckles house story is interesting. I didn’t get into it in this video but remember when that happened.
@@Voyagerhq It was quite the talk of the town. at the time. I keep a small place at Coronado Shores and try to stay tuned into what's happening around town. That was also about the same time two Navy pilots, and a girlfriend were found murdered in their rented house after bringing a "friend" home with them.
That’s right I vaguely remember that story also but haven’t looked into the details.
The waters off Coronado and the Silver Strand have been polluted by raw Mexican sewage lately. Many days are 'Red Flag" days when entry into the ocean is forbidden. It is a chronic problem, unfortunately.
You’re right it’s unfortunate
God lives on Coronado Beach❤
Go islanders

I’ve heard they were going to change the building but it hasn’t happened yet.
The only place like the united states in ALL OF CALIFORNIA. THE BEST PART OF CALIFORNIA.
Just went there recently. Silver Strand Beach is gorgeous. There is a seriously conservative vibe here though. It’s not a happy one. We left early.
Sorry to hear that!
It’s a navy town, very conservative. You shouldn’t let politics run your lives and live this life to its fullest
The Del needs a remodel inside get rid of the wallpaper and widend the hallways
Yes those upper levels are known for that. It’s a creepy area to walk through. They just finished building a brand new addition of hotel rooms but I’m not sure if they will update the original structure.

👍🏼
600 dollars/night when I last looked. The Sunday brunch is, alas, a little beyond my budget these days.
@@well-blazeredman6187 damn, I must be way off, I have some rich family in Coronado and thats what they told me
"no concrete evidence of ghosts" I see what you did there.
Yes nice, hell of expensive and snotty people there.
🕳️
having been in the navy and very familiar with this place; the coronado bridge is called "the suicide bridge." FYI
I lived there for a few years and the bridge would be closed regularly for that reason. A few times I had to drive down the stand to get off the island.
