"This 1800s former horse ranch on a rolling 10-acre estate still honors San Diego’s rancho roots—albeit with far more creature comforts. Its Spanish Mission-style buildings surround various courtyards, with bright and airy guest rooms featuring faux Mexican antiques and outdoor fireplaces surrounded by lemon trees and rosemary and sage. The heated saltwater pool is where you’ll find guests curled up on daybeds with a book or cooling off from the heat, while the spa is the place to go for sea stone massages and aloe wraps."

"You’ll find there’s something for everyone at Ferry Landing on Coronado. Whether you’re just relaxing while you wait for the ferry or spending an afternoon sightseeing, there’s no shortage of fun here!. Take a peaceful beachside stroll along the bike path and delight in the white sand and peaceful waves while taking in the skyline of downtown San Diego in the distance."

"Crosby Street Park is a tiny little park that just happens to have a pier that extends way out into San Diego Bay which allows you to get some cool shots of the Coronado Bridge that most people may not have seen. Along the pier there are tug boats and military ships in the yards being fixed so it can give you some pretty interesting pictures. The park has lots of parking and this place is almost always deserted so  you will probably have it all to yourself."
