City of Coronado Relocation Guide Where Cool Pacific Breezes Blow… 2 City of Coronado Relocation Guide Where Cool Pacific Breezes Blow… W elcome to Coronado, one of the most desirable beachfront cities of the world! Measuring only 13.5 square miles and located just minutes from downtown San Diego, this enchanted “island” has it all — a nearly-perfect climate, award-winning beaches, lush parks, excellent highly ranked schools, top-notch municipal services, and numerous recreational activities. As you drive across the San Diego–Coronado Bay Bridge and experience the breathtaking panoramic view of the island, you will understand why many visitors decide to make Coronado home. Known as an “island,” Coronado is really a peninsula connected to the mainland by a stretch of land named the Silver Strand. It’s a friendly beach haven with laid-back California charm linked to bustling downtown San Diego by the San Diego-Coronado Bay Bridge. A shuttle loops around the island but it is small enough to walk almost anywhere. Strolling along its tree-lined streets, you’ll notice stately mansions beside quaint California bungalows. Summertime concerts in Spreckels Park, a spectacular Fourth of July Parade, a festive hometown Christmas Parade and Merchant Open House with Santa riding the fire truck add to the small town atmosphere. With its share of award-winning resorts and comfortable smaller hotels, visitors can relax and enjoy all Coronado has to offer. The sensational combination of sand, sea and sun is refreshing to the soul. Coronado’s beaches have attracted visitors for more than a century, since the worldrenowned Hotel del Coronado opened on the beachfront in 1888. The main beach, with its dunes spelling “Coronado” from the sky, is ideal for swimming, riding boogie boards, bodysurfing, sculpting sandcastles, gazing into tide pools and even whale-watching in the winter months. Coronado Beach is voted one of America’s top beaches year after year. This Relocation Guide is designed to answer questions about Coronado as you plan your move to our community. You will find additional information, including helpful links to the City of Coronado and other agencies, a Business Directory and a current Calendar of Events at the Chamber website www.coronadochamber.com.

We enjoy a slower pace here with all that a big city has to offer just minutes away. Here is a look into what it means to be a part of Coronado. 1. Appreciate what Coronado has to offer.

There’s so much to see and do! 2. Shop locally. Coronado has its share of quaint shops and local businesses that offer services to locals and visitors. The owners are your neighbors and fellow community leaders. Our businesses give generously to local charitable organizations. Return the favor and patronize their establishments. Many businesses offer local discounts; just ask. 3. Take an active role. Coronado is an active community with respected, accessible government leaders.

Share your ideas with local business leaders. As business owners, tailor your business to fit the needs of your community. Together, our community will grow and prosper. 5. Volunteer here. Find something that you are passionate about and support that cause by giving some time and financial support. You will be richer for it and so will the community. 6. Be a good host. Our community is a tourist destination. In fact, sometimes visitors fall in love with our island and decide to become residents! Offer friendly assistance to visitors and tell them what Coronado has to offer. 7. Slow down. Ease over the bridge onto the island. Traffic moves at a different pace here. Be patient with the increased traffic during the busy season. Expect more pedestrians, bicyclists and electric cars. Take a deep breath, look up at our clear blue skies and count your blessings for living in paradise. 8. Play tourist for a day or a weekend. Put on your shades and sunscreen, walk the Paseo del Mar along the beach at the Del, sit at a sidewalk table and enjoy a leisurely lunch. Ride the ferry to downtown San Diego to a Padres baseball game. Stroll along the bay through the Ferry Landing to the bridge and back. Enjoy being able to live in such a desirable location! City of Coronado Relocation Guide 7 LIVING Here The History of Coronado C oronado was named for the Coronado Islands off the coast of San Diego. They were first sighted November 8, 1602, by Spanish navigator Vizcaino. He named them “Los Coronados” or “the crowned ones,” for four martyred saints of ancient Rome. Coronado remained a barren peninsula, mostly populated by jack rabbits, until purchased in 1885 by Elisha S. 8 City of Coronado Relocation Guide Babcock, Jr., and Hampton L. Storey. They rowed over to the island from San Diego to hunt rabbits and decided it would be an ideal setting for a luxurious resort hotel. With the railroad scheduled to reach San Diego, they believed Easterners looking for a more moderate climate would flock to the new hotel. The Hotel del Coronado opened in 1888 and shortly afterwards was sold off on the first leg of his famous journey to St. Louis, New York and Paris from North Island. Today, North Island homeports two aircraft carriers (a third carrier will arrive in approximately 2009), making the military the top employer in the community. History is still a part of everyday life in Coronado with more than 111 historical sites designated in the City. For more information on Coronado’s history, contact the Coronado Historical Association, 1100 Orange Avenue, Coronado, CA 92118, (619) 435-7242 or log onto www.coronadohistory.org.

In 1891, Benjamin Harrison was the first of 13 United States Presidents to visit Coronado, joining the long list of celebrity guests at the Hotel. Today, the hotel is a designated National Historical Landmark. Aviation and the military is another important part of Coronado’s history. In 1911, Glenn Curtis opened an aviation camp in what is today the Naval Air Station, North Island. During World War I, the Spreckels family sold North Island to the U.S. Navy for $5 million. In 1927, Col. Charles Lindbergh took LIVING Here Demographics C oronado’s economy is supported by its residential population, tourism, and by the adjacent navy bases. The City is a renowned tourist destination not only by out-of-town travelers but also from neighboring communities in the San Diego region. While tourism is a significant contributor to the local tax base, residential property taxes are still the largest single source of revenue to the City of Coronado, making up more than a third of its general revenues.
