Sight Seeing in Coronado and San Diego

- USS Midway is a must see for anyone who enjoys history. This is a great tour for adults and kids.
- Hotel Del Coronado is a landmark. The sand dunes out front are fun for the kids, and the food, while pricey, is pretty good. The hotel also puts out a wonderful ice rink during Christmas for kids of all ages.
- Silver Strand bike path is a fun spot to ride bikes or rent Segways
- SUP (stand up paddle) is a fun way to see Coronado from the water
