Bay Books carries a broad selection of books – from the hot-off-the-press to timeless classics – in a bright, browsable store. We boast an extensive Children’s section, with books and toys for all ages. Our Military History section reflects Coronado’s support and respect for our friends at the North Island Naval Air Station, MCRD, MCAS Miramar and at the Naval Amphibious Base. 

We also offer a wonderful assortment of greeting cards (including Papyrus), stationery,  journals (Moleskin and PaperBlanks), specialty gifts and one of the largest selection of magazines, domestic and international, in Southern California.

Adjacent to the bookstore you can enjoy our sidewalk cafe – Bay Books Cafe – and sit reading your book or newspaper in the sunshine.
