I lived there from the 7th grade til I graduated High school (1977-1984) All I wanted at the time was to get out. Now all I wanna do is go back. I visit every coupe of years.

Hey dude, I follow all your vids. You have influenced my wife and I to travel California. Seriously thank you so much. Keep it coming man

I grew up in San Diego, and my mother worked on Coronado. She used to bring us to work with her on weekends and after work she would take us around the island. This video brought back many fond memories! Thank you!

The view of the island as you drive across the bridge was stunning.

California lens through my camera. There’s so many places I would skate more than bicycle. I like to meet this youtuber. I like the Coronado island bar beer from all over California. One friend I met here lives near by. I got four wheel skateboard. I like to ride all the way down the end of the peninsula island. The the sky scrapers from across the bay. The paddle boat is cool.

Will be in San Diego, just for one day in May this year, we were there in January 2018, but didn't get to Coronado. I think I know how we will spend our day. Cheers!!

Awesome, ya San Diego has so much to do, it is hard to do it justice in one day for sure.

I live in Utah but I’ve gone there a few times when I was little. I love that place, and I hope to make it back there in a few years for BUD/s. The SEALs are badass

Thanks for the tour! I kind of grew up in San Diego, and my dad was stationed at North Island. Mixed emotional memories of seeing him leave on a carrier, and return on a carrier (multiple times). We used to take the big ferry before the bridge was built. Super vivid memories. Thanks again!

My daily walk. From the bay, to the amphibious base, then to north island along the water, and back again. Then it’s off to Balboa Park, another great walking spot.

Wow , looks beautiful can’t wait to visit

Great video! I worked at the Hotel Del Coronado for years. Coronado is a very special place!

We stayed at the Lavienda Inn across the way from the Del Coronado last August. We fell in love with the place it's beautiful and coming from England everybody was just so friendly. What a stunning place. We loved the local bar McP's Irish Bar where Navy Seals go ... Great food beer and atmosphere. Off course the trolley tour picks you up from the island and takes you to San Diego and all it's sightseeing areas. Christmas 2021 we will be back. Can not wait. Note: Had breakfast at the Del Coronado, wasn't cheap but an awesome experience. Great vlog 🤘🏽😎🤘🏽

We used to stay there back when I was a pup, late 60's. We stayed at place across the street from the Del, the hotel was built in and around Spreckles mansion which was built in 1908, the Glorietta Bay Inn. Was a great place to stay. We went before the bridge was built, you could either take the ferry across which we usually did. The other option was to drive along the Strand.

A very good well done video. thank you. Also, you have correctly said that it isn't really an island by more of a peninsula. Thanks for setting it straight.

Great video! I have driven past the hotel several times. I will stop by next time. New subscriber.

Coronado beautiful ❤️

I was fortunate to live in Coronado throughout the 90s. I loved it there. It's a great community. Be sure to catch McP's Irish Pub while you are there. It's a Navy SEAL hangout.

Thank you!I found a couple gems to try =D I just subbed for reppin hometown

I work at Clayton's. You should visit us someday, the food is very good.

I've lived here for ten years, and the ferry landing, as well as the Spreckels area, should at least have been mentioned. Possibly the El Cordova and the restaurants there, and maybe the boathouse/Glorietta Bay Marina.

Good morning night cityyyyyy

Hey, man. I've been watching many of your videos lately and I just noticed in this one it looks like you've lost weight! Looking good! I plan on visiting Death Valley after watching one of your videos.

Wife and I are planning a trip in early April. Question for those familiar with Coronado. If we take the ferry, is everything else easily walkable, or is it best to drive?

@SavageBunny1

2 жыл бұрын

You don't need to take a ferry, you can drive (if you're renting a car) from the San Diego Airport to Coronado in about 10 minutes, its just a nice little ferry ride that's relaxing, you can also just take a cab to drop you off in Sea Port village, its a really nice place, tons of shops, where the ferry drops you off is on the north side, also a ton of shops and restaurants there, but if you want to go to the Coronado hotel, you'll have to take a cab, its about 3-4 mile walk. There's a ton of stuff walking distance from the Coronado hotel.

They also have a great dog beach. (if you have a dog!)

Right now

Jim Blake never paid my brother for that house on xanthus in tulsa so it made my brother look like he never paid off his first home he ever bought in his life after returning to tulsa after he completed his tour of duty in Vietnam.

It's Orange Avenue.....not Orange Street.

can dogs go on the ferry lol

Who the f from Florida was Bonnie's boyfriend Bob really?. I think he may have been holding Bonnie and Chuck hostage. I do not know Bob aims

Another place is the Navy SEAL training complex

So no one is gonna talk about how Coronado is a pun on Corona
