This is the Harada Heritage Park, Corona. They have lots of sports. Wow! Skate boards. Basketball and baseball. At times they change sports for fun! The playground is beautiful!

Popular surfing beach.

You must get here early to secure a parking spot as there are not many. The only exception is if you are military and then the other side of this beach is open to you with more parking and a beach too, but it's for military families. The beach has beautiful white sand with lovely shells being thrown up on it as it's open to the coast. The view out to sea with large ships, Point Loma Pennisula, and Cabrillo National Monument is great. In the background is the low growl of planes from North Island Naval Air Center. Overhead fly helicopters infrequently which children love to see. I saw a pelican flying across the breakers looking for a meal.

Home town, small town, and everyone's town ... oh, wouldn't that be great? A lovely center of town, filled with grass, play equipment, a gazebo, and enough open space to throw an actual football without facing an assault lawsuit. Coronado got this right. Coronado is (by itself) a slice of paradise (not a large one, mind you) and it just oozes those qualities found in community-centric locations. None could be better! The folksy library is across the street, fun little cafes and eateries line Orange Avenue (the main drag), and it embraces its art-deco identity with a whole heart. The town planners held this treasured piece of real estate for the betterment and pleasure of the whole of the community. What a concept! Think it will catch on? Nah, I don't either. Sadly.

We had been to San Diego several times and returned with friends. We took them over to Coronado Island and walked around the historical Hotel del Cornado. We had lunch reservations on the island following but had about 30 minutes to spare. We drove to Centennial Park and just walked around and took in the views and serenity of this park.

A mere two-mile drive from cosmopolitan, downtown San Diego, across one of the world's most distinctive bridges, is Coronado Island - a world away. Developed in 1888 as a beach resort town, and home to the famous Hotel del Coronado, the island is blessed with one of the finest beaches in the world and bathed in endless sunshine. Coronado today is a vibrant beach community loaded with charm.

This is one of San Diego's great place to visit. The hotel del Coronado is definitely worth staying at or just to go and visit. The beach is pristine and beautiful at sunset for that loved one to walk with,With the sand on your feet and a dog beach at the far end near the base. There is a shopping area called Coronado ferry landing,were there is a place to eat and shop and see downtown San Diego. At night is a beautiful site when San Diego is lite up and a perfect spot for fireworks on the fourth of July.You can take the ferry to downtown San Diego and take a pedy cab to seaport village or downtown San Diego or walk. You can just take a round trip on the ferry back to Coronado. there is a bike rental at the Coronado landing,were you can bike all over the island,the walkway at the landing is very relaxing and it will take you to the park if you head towards the Coronado bridge. If you rent a car I suggest a convertible as you can see a lot more and is great for picture taking and live that California life style. You can take a lovely drive on the strand to imperial beach just drive past the Coronado hotel were they have the famous sand castle contest.Check on the internet to find out when it is.Downtown Coronado has up scale restaurants and nice places for having coffee to relax and people watch. On Tuesday there is a farmers market at the ferry landing.And a lovely golf course with the beautiful views of san Diego for that golfer.

So many happy fur-balls, all running, chasing balls, braving the cold water, and (surprisingly) all getting along really well! This expanse of beach is located between the military fencing and signage and the end of the Hotel Del Coronado. We could have stayed for hours just watching them cavort.
