I got a jar of sand from Coronado Beach at my home in Minnesota. It's white and very fine and soft. It gives me pleasant memories during our long harsh winters.
San Diego is a very beautiful place to check out. The city is a very laidback one and it has tons of things to do. Which is why I would recommend this place to anybody who is looking for a vacation getaway. Plus the best part is that I can fly from where I live to San Diego in an hour and five minutes!
ThePaulPiper actually San Diego is a bit overrated as a vacation spot,the water is cold, polluted,and riptides kill many..most of the restaurants serve expensive mediocre food..and once you see the zoo and sea world there isn't much left to do.
This was back before the palm weevil destroyed the majority of Canary Island date palms. I just watched a similar recent video and there was no date palms. What a shame.
My Uncle Wilton Stephenson was going to work (airplane mechanic) when the Coronado Bridge opened. He was the FIRST person to cross it! I'm his niece, Vanieca Martin.
i'am from denver but when I go to cali. I go to san diego it's so beautiful!!!!!! I miss the cold water,sunset in la jolla,palm trees,bbbbbut they do'nt get any snow!!! SNOWBOARDING ;)
+50023boy I miss it too, spent 4 years on the USS Constellation CV-64 over at North Island. Loved the city. This was back in the mid 80's.Wife and I lived at 25th & A Street. Golden Hills.
In response to your email. YES. my unvle was the first...the ONLY first to cross the Coronada Bridge. I listened as he told how traffic was waiting to cross and he was the first one. No other traffic crossed simultaneously. He was the very first to cross it! There was no hold up and no other traffic coming from any other direction before he crossed it.
cool vid man thx for posting i like watchnig these videos of san diego havent been back there for a wile guess maybe that means id like to move back but just cost to much to live there ill stay in the high desert of az for now
Shows a lot of road and misses the exquisite harbor. Take the ride on a bus if you want to experience a dizzying feel as though the bus where you will sit up high and feel as though you could spill over the low railing any minute.
Honestly,it two years ago .when visitors it was cool as clean .Now I know time my progress as well seein my eyes in east toward west.Learning lessons not dreams.But taken time likely my act proven.Took later not sure I come back????
My prom was at a grand hotel in cornado it was Awesome!! and you know what i did later that night ;) i went home and slept next to my brother with my pillow pet... :( =P
CANBATU CAN San Diego is very diverse but the majority of the population is white , after them comes Hispanics/Latinos of any race which includes Spanish people , Mexicans & also central & South Americans , then comes Asians , African americans , native Americans , native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders , all in that order
I used the bridge in late 1969/1972 when it first opened, there use to be a .60 cent charge each way. Thank you for taking me back to Coronado.

Rumor has it that someone else simultaneously crossed it, going in the opposite direction. ;)
Big whoop!
I don't remember the guard rails being that high. I used to be scared to go over that bridge.
You were only blocks from the Hotel del Coronado and the beach on the ocean! I hope you got to see those even though they're missing from this video.
Jack Wright I am going there on the 5th
amazing city very clean than LA
Its only Downtown and Outboroughs of LA.
