Coronado

Coronado has one of the prettiest beaches you will ever see. The water is crystal clear and the sand there is like walking on soft, heated pillows. Ocean water has a distinct smell that is indescribable. The ocean breeze makes it too chilly to not wear a cozy jacket or have a stylish body wrap. When the sun's out makes for a perfect day on the beach!

Along the coast of the beach, there are very beautiful, and highly priced homes. Driving on the road leading to the beach kept increasing in size and distinctively structured houses. My aunt pointed out a beautiful home that is owned by her doctor. She told me that abundant of the people there have high-paying jobs, like surgeons, doctors, lawyers, etc.

The city of Coronado is interesting because it's kind of an island that is connected by one of two ways: a highway and a bridge. Unfortunately there is still traffic there, and the times of noon and four are really bad. However it gives you an excuse to stare at the beautiful city.

When I visited last summer, I had the opportunity to walk around downtown, which was similar to downtown Iowa City like how all the stores are connected and it's easy to just walk store to store and absorb the city. My aunt showed my family and I her favorite place to eat there which is a place called Burger Lounge that is exclusively in California (More info on the Burger Lounge page).

There is also a park in Coronado that is just beautiful. The grass is a good dark green color and very thick making the ground as cushioned as carpet. Trees are plentiful where it' s not too difficult to find shade when it gets too hot. I was told that this park is filled every Sunday where bands and sermons go on, outside to enjoy California's beautiful weather. This park is for all ages, even young children can go, there is a playground where the kids can play.
