Coronado is starting to get that Holiday feel. Driving over the Coronado Bay Bridge the other night I was able to see the Hotel Del Coronado all lit up!
It is hard to miss 60,000 bulbs illuminating every facet of the Victorian resort. A memorable event [at the Del], is the tree Lighting ceremony, slated this year for December 3. The main foyer is graced by a 25-foot tree, whose sturdy branches, strung with some 15,000 lights, cradle a profusion of ornaments. The tree is themed and the theme changes each year. I wonder what this year’s theme will be? Elsewhere, almost every inch of the resort is robed in evergreen garlands, trimmed with crimson ribbon, and interwoven with strands of lights. There is no place like Coronado for the holidays!

Coronado is such a great place to live and is so steeped in history and tradition. Take for example the Coronado Ferry with it’s first small boat dating back to 1886! It seems that quaint Coronado was “going green” long before green was just a color in vogue! One of the best kept secrets in Coronado is the FREE Commuter Ferry service that is provided by the City of Coronado for residents and Military of San Diego and Coronado. The first ferry out of Coronado leaves at 0615. The three other commuter times are 0715, 0800 and 0835. In order to get your fare free service for the return trip you will need to obtain a commuter ticket from the ferry crew before disembarking. Unfortunately, after January 15, 2010 the San Diego-Coronado Ferry Service will no longer service the Naval Air Station North Island (NASNI) ferry landing. The Navy was prompted to end this service in light of security and funding considerations.
Pedestrians and bicyclists board at the Coronado Ferry Landing and disembark at the Broadway Pier in San Diego adjacent to the intersection of Broadway and North Harbor Drive. Tickets can be purchased at the mechanical terminal next to the gangway at the Coronado Ferry Landing or at the San Diego Harbor excusion booth at 1050 North Habor Drive.
For the Coronado to San Diego trip, ferries leave Coronado on the half hour, starting at 0930. The last ferry leaves for San Diego at 9:30 p.m. (10:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday).
San Diego to Coronado bound, ferries run on the hour, starting at 0900. The last ferry leaves for Coronado at 9 p.m. (10:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
Currently a one-way ticket is $3.25 with no extra cost for bicycles. However on January 11, 2010 the fare is being increased to $3.50 per person each way. For additional information you can call 619-234-4111 or 800-442-7847. Or visit http://www.sdhe.com/san-diego-commuter-ferry.html for the commuter ferry schedules.
