Connected by a thin sandy strip of land to the mainland, Coronado is technically not an island at all, but the island retreat attitude pervades every inch of it. It may be accessed by foot ferry, the toll-free Coronado Bay Bridge or up the Silver Strand peninsula. Leafy, quiet streets lined with perfectly appointed homes resembling gingerbread houses comprise half the island. The other half is home to the Naval Air Station North Island that provides carrier parking for most of the Pacific Fleet. Enjoy walking the broad, mile-long sandy beach crowned by the Victorian splendor of the Hotel del Coronado.
