We try to visit San Diego and Coronado Island at least once a year, and our recent trip in late October was perfect for weather and light traffic, being off season for tourists.

Our favorite spot is hotel on the island with views of the bay and city.  That's where I did almost 100% of my shots since the rest of our time was spent on the Naval Air Station golf course, excepting the summit conference with Surferguy and visiting The Marine Corps Base.

During my tours of duty at the Naval  Amphibious Base years ago the only direct route from the mainland to the island was the Coronado Ferry.  Although a pleasant ride, the wait lines could be maddening at times, especially if you faced diciplinary action for reporting late.

The Coronado Bridge has changed all that, and will be seen in several of my photos.  The ferry has been retired.

If you haven't visited the area you are missing a great treat.  Enjoy!
