As you drive across the San Diego–Coronado Bay Bridge and experience the breathtaking panoramic view of the island, you will understand why many visitors decide to make Coronado home.

It’s a friendly beach haven with laid-back charm linked to bustling by the San Diego-Coronado Bay Bridge. A shuttle loops around the island but it is small enough to walk almost anywhere. Strolling along its tree-lined streets, you’ll notice stately mansions beside quaint California bungalows.

With its share of award-winning resorts and comfortable smaller hotels, visitors can relax and enjoy all Coronado has to offer. The sensational combination of sand, sea and sun is refreshing to the soul. Coronado’s beaches have attracted visitors for more than a century, since the world- renowned opened on the beachfront in 1888. The main beach, with its dunes spelling “Coronado” from the sky, is ideal for swimming, riding boogie boards, bodysurfing, sculpting sandcastles, gazing into tide pools and even whale-watching in the winter months. Coronado Beach is voted one of America’s top beaches year after year. This Relocation Guide is designed to answer questions about Coronado as you plan your move to our community.
