A Bike Ride Around Coronado
-
Morning
Begin at Bikes & Beyond (see Cycling) at the Ferry Landing Market Place. Walk to the sidewalk facing the harbor and enjoy the city view. Pedestrians and joggers also use this sidewalk, so proceed cautiously. Around the corner, you’ll face the Coronado Bridge (see Coronado Bridge); the bougainvillea-covered walls on the right mark the Marriott Resort (see Marriott Coronado Island Resort). Information boards on the way depict harbor wildlife and a map indicates the various navy yards. Under the bridge, the path turns away from the water. At the street, bear left and cross over. There is no protected bike path, but traffic is light on Glorietta Bay Drive. At the marina, the road will fork; take the lower road to the left. Turn right at the stop-light and get off your bike; bike riding is forbidden on Orange Avenue. At 1025 Orange Avenue, Moo Time Creamery serves delicious homemade ice cream and smoothies. Walk your bike back to Hotel del Coronado (see Hotel del Coronado) and check out the shops on its lower level (see Shops at the Hotel del Coronado). Leaving the hotel, bear left to Ocean Avenue; the Pacific Ocean is on the left and several 100-year-old mansions on the right. Turn right on Alameda and ride through a typical Coronado neighborhood with Spanish-style houses and bungalows. At 4th, cross the street and walk one block; the Naval Air Station will be on your left. Turn right on 1st. It’s a straight stretch back to the Market Place.
