The bridge that links the Coronado to San Diego offers beautiful views of this 10-mile island, which is home to white-sand beaches, two golf courses, big resorts, and exciting theaters. Coronado Village is a quaint town with Victorian homes, restaurants, and the historic Hotel del Coronado, and Ferry Landing is great for shopping and galleries, and has a bay-front bike path. Coronado is also where The North Island Naval Complex is located.
