Hi eCoronado.com!

I am a recent CHS grad (2011) and former Coronado resident currently living in New York going to school for Advertising. My school, Iona College has mission trips every year. I would love to go, however the cost of the airfare is expensive!  It is almost $2000.00!

In order to provide more land for the military to use and to expand the shore. The biggest dredging in Coronado’s history was when the War Department began dredging the San Diego Bay in 1944 to create an enlarged basin for Navy ships, the… Continue

An old photograph of Orange Ave. (1800-1889)



When we drive through Coronado, one of the first streets we drive down is Orange Avenue. It is probably the most popular street because it runs through the center of town and leads to our crown jewel-The Hotel Del Coronado. Ever wonder why it was named “Orange Avenue”?

An old picture of the Hotel Del Coronado.



I remember the first time I entered the Hotel Del, I was about seven or eight years old, and we were meeting a friend who was visiting from out of town and staying at the Del. I can remember going over the bridge was magical; it was like entering a whole another world. We went down Orange Avenue, it was late afternoon early evening and there was not too much traffic. We passed by all kinds of shops… Continue

A picture I took on one of my first days living in Coronado!



Growing up for anyone is hard. According to Peter Pan it is “extremely difficult”. However, Peter lived in London and we live in Coronado-and personally, I like it here better!
