Coronado’s gracious homes on tree-lined streets, beautiful beaches and numerous kid-friendly eateries ensure a relaxing fun-filled day. We regularly visit friends who live there, and always notice the small-town laid back friendly atmosphere; neighbors drop by with their kids and people stop to chat on the street.

FUN FERRY RIDE

If you want to create an adventure for your little ones, hop on the San Diego Bay Ferry from 1050 North Harbor Drive at the Broadway Pier. You can have lunch at one of the many restaurants at The Ferry Landing Place or picnic on the beach.

Bikes and Beyond rent bikes with with Burley trailers. Their surrey-on top is a 2-4 pedaler which has extra jump seats children in the front. They have kites for rent too! The bike path offers magnificent city views and takes you to a great children’s playground by the Coronado bridge.

ICE CREAM

Nothing like ice cream to keep the kids happy. With locations at 1025 Orange Ave and the Del, Moo Time Creamery manufactures its specialty ice cream on-site; its long lines attest to just how good it is. Ferry Landing has the also popular Cold Stone Creamery.

HOTEL DEL CORONADO

Last, but not least, no visit to Coronado is complete without a visit to the historic Hotel Del Coronado . Built in 1888, its iconic red turrets make it look like a fairy tale castle- little girls might enjoy the high tea served there on a Sunday afternoon.

TRAVEL TIP: For a picnic at the beach, rent one of our coolers, some beach chairs and a beach umbrella or canopy, along with the bag of toys which include toys for the beach. For a run or walk along The Strand, our all-terrain BOB joggers can have the front wheel either fully rotating or fixed; singles and doubles are available. Our all-terrain Radio Flyer Wagon is perfect for carting the kids and beach gear down to the water.
