Coronado developed as a resort in the late 1800s; the Hotel del Coronado (1888) shaped the island’s national reputation and drew visitors by rail and steamship.
As a barrier island, Coronado depends on dune and beach maintenance; stick to marked access points, pack out trash, and avoid disturbing nesting shorebirds.
Drives & Detours operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
