Coronado began in 1886, the dream of Elisha Babcock, who vowed to create a resort destination that was to be the "finest watering spot on the Pacific Coast." Along with its fabled Hotel del Coronado, the town became one of the great playgrounds of the world, drawing Presidents and princes, moguls and movie stars to its shores. Concurrently, North Island Naval Air Station was developed into one of this century's most important aviation centers.

Coronado's past, full of fabulous homes and famous memories, is still very much a part of San Diego's life today. On a leisurely, guided stroll through quaint Coronado, guests see the stately mansion of John D. Spreckels, or the cottage of the Duchess of Windsor, view the home where the Wizard of Oz was inspired, and tour the magnificent Hotel del Coronado. Guests enjoy the tales and tidbits of a hundred years of remarkable history...on Coronado Island!
