Those who live in the
small beach community of Coronado know there are many hidden gems in this
world-famous resort getaway. Coronado has been the destination of presidents,
kings, movie moguls and Hollywood stars; yet it remains an easy going small
town with rich history and culture. Noted as the headquarters of the U.S. Navy
SEALs, the community also has a deep history with the military. Besides the
nationally recognized Hotel Del Coronado (opened in 1888) and pristine beaches
which attract tourists from all over the world, there are also many local
favorites such as the dog park, public library, skate park, concerts in
Spreckels Park and much more. Though the island is now worth billions, it was
purchased by a syndicate led by railroad financier Elisha Babcock for $110,000
in 1885. What are some of your favorite things about Coronado?
