Coronado Island
Start at the Hotel del Coronado and walk the beach south toward the ferry landing. The curve of sand gets emptier the further you go. By the concrete pier you'll understand why locals don't talk about this place much. Keep it that way.

San Diego Skyline Viewpoint
4.9★Walk · Local favorite
Skip the Hotel del. Walk the bayside path to 1st Street where the railings end. You get downtown San Diego laid out clean against the water, no resort crowd, no entry fee. Stay until the light turns gold on the bay.
Coronado Beach
4.8★Walk · Local favorite
Park at the south lot and walk north toward the Hotel del Coronado. The beach empties after 4 p.m. The sunset hits the water here differently than anywhere else in San Diego. You came for this.
Coronado Dog Beach
4.7★Activity · Heavy hitter
Off-leash dog beach where your dog actually swims and socializes instead of wearing a leash. Morning tide is lowest around 9. The dogs know each other. The owners ignore each other. Go before noon when the lot fills up.
