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.

I have always wanted to do this tour, and it did not disappoint! Jennifer was very knowledgeable of the rich history of Coronado. My group enjoyed this tour very much! I recommend to anyone who loves history and architecture (and the beach!) The Del hotel was so nice to see, too!

Jennifer was knowledgeable and fun. As a life long resident, she was able to answer all of my obscure questions about Coronado and the San Diego area. The tour gave us a good orientation and introduction to what the area has to offer. Highly recommend if you're staying on Coronado for the first time, or just not that familiar with it.
