Coronado is famous for its good-hearted patriotism and classic small town Americana, peaking during the annual Fourth of July parade, now in its 75th year!
The iconic comedy Some Like It Hot – celebrating its 65th Anniversary this year – forever immortalized Marilyn Monroe at the Hotel del Coronado.
Orange Ave is the mile long stretch from Bayside Coronado to the Hotel Del Coronado on Ocean Boulevard. It got its name because the manicured, flower-filled median you see today was once lined with orange trees. Unfortunately the native Jack Rabbits found them too delicious so they had to be uprooted. However, you will see plenty of citrus trees in the residents’ gardens as you meander down our pretty sidestreets.
