Between the Pacific ocean and San Diego bay lies the Coronado peninsula, including the enlarged northern tip which is sometimes referred to as Coronado Island. At this tip is the quaint town of Coronado or Coronado Island, with its iconic Victorian resort hotel, Hotel del Coronado, or 'the Del' to locals. The town is reached by car via a 'flying' bridge (the Coronado Bay Bridge) across the bay. Along the narrow strip of peninsula, below the 'island' lie miles of white sand beaches, some of the best in southern California. These pictures are my attempt to capture the atmosphere of a bright March morning there. All but the first two were taken at Silver Strand State Beach.
