Across the bay is a big, busy city. Coronado’s side of the bay is quiet and calm, especially along the boardwalk. It’s perfect for lazy walks, roller skating and pedaling a surrey. Thanks go to @jc_mcmxc_ for sharing this from Coronado’s side of San Diego Bay. #coronado #sandiego #california #travel #coronadoisland

Practice makes perfect! In 1887, the builders of the Hotel del Coronado decided to test their blueprints. Before they started construction on the hotel, they built this building the year before, to practice. The blueprints worked perfectly because the building, with its own red turret, still stands. Today, it’s the Bluewater Boathouse Grill and you can step inside to see the craftsmanship. Thanks to Priyanka Haldar for her beautiful photo from Glorietta Bay.

Zoom in! For over 30 years, Coronado's Sandcastle Man has been creating incredibly detailed masterpieces like this one. It all started as a fun activity for his kids, but now it's his legacy. No stay at the Hotel @delcoronado is complete without seeing him work. Thanks to Barry Alman for capturing the Sandcastle Man’s latest work. #art #history #photography #coronadoisland #california

Comfy bathrobes. Hot coffee. And a stunning view. This one overlooks the sunrise behind the bridge to Coronado. Always ask for a balcony when checking into the Coronado Island Marriott Resort.

There's a place where mornings are always magical. That place is Coronado. In this photo, the sun rises behind the bridge over San Diego Bay. Thanks to @yvonne.sanagustin for capturing this sunrise from Coronado Island.
