What To Expect

Coronado Island

We'll explore this beach town and delve into its history with artists, aviators and innovators.

Downtown Coronado

Full of quaint shops and prime window shopping, we'll start our tour in the heart of downtown Coronado at Rotary Park. We'll stroll the main street and also get off the beaten path to explore interesting architecture just beyond Orange Avenue. Later we'll grab a snack before we stop by a unique shop.

Coronado Public Library

Established in 1890, this classical revival building was completed in 1909. We'll learn about the man who funded it, the architect who built it, and if open, we'll pop in for a look inside.

Museum of History and Art

We’ll visit a local museum (subject to availability) to look at artifacts and photos that bring the stories of Coronado’s past and citizens to life.

Star Park

This small, circular park is surrounded by beautiful homes, and displays flags and equipment illuminating Coronado’s military past and present.

Coronado Beach

Routinely voted one of the top 10 beaches in the U.S., Coronado beach offers spectacular views of of Point Loma and, on a clear day, Mexico. We’ll talk about the houses that face the beach, and if we’re lucky we’ll see some wildlife in the ocean. Then we'll stroll down to the largest building on the beach - the Hotel del Coronado.

5! Jennifer knows her stuff. And she was extremely patient with us because I walk slowly due to knee issues. It was just Jennifer, my husband and myself fit this off season walking tour but she was not deterred by such a small group. We saw highlights and we saw things off the beaten track which we would not have seen had we just walked ourselves around without her guidance. We have new insights into the lovely town of Coronado. Thanks , Jennifer!

Thank you so much for your kind review! It was a pleasure showing you and your husband around Coronado, especially this time of year when it is so beautiful. Your pace wasn't a problem (you kept up great) and I'm glad your knee didn't keep you from missing anything. Thank you for joining me and look forward to seeing you on your next trip to San Diego!
