transportation to Coronado

We are staying on Harbor Drive and would like to go to Coronado early Sunday morning. Is there any kind of public transportation, or would a taxi be reasonable? We don%26#39;t plan on renting a car as we are staying downtown and able to access most of what we want to see by trolley or bus. Thanks for your help. I really enjoy reading the various posts concerning SD travel.

transportation to Coronado


Welcome, Merry! If you are right downtown on Harbor Drive (Harbor Drive runs all the way from downtown to the airport), you could just take the passenger ferry from the Embarcardero (near Harbor Drive and Broadway) downtown. You could take a taxi over the Coronado Bridge, but I would think the ferry would be more enjoyable, and definitely cheaper. Once you get to Coronado via ferry, you would be at the Ferry Landing, where there are several shops and restaurants. Coronado is a beautiful area to walk around; and there are many other transportation options once you arrive there, including the Coronado Shuttle (route 904) that takes you past the Hotel Del Coronado.

Hi Merry61





No, you definitely don%26#39;t need to splurge on a taxi!





There are two ways of getting to Coronado from where you are. One is by bus. The MTS 901 line takes you from Downtown San Diego to Coronado and continues to Imperial Beach. Find a schedule and map of this line at http://www.sdcommute.com in the rider information section.





Another way is to take the Coronado Ferry from the Broadway Pier at the corner of Harbor Dr. and Broadway. This will take you to the Coronado Ferry Landing. Once you arrive at the Landing, you can take the MTS 904 line to the Hotel Del Coronado and to Orange Ave. (the main drag). There used to be a trolley in Coronado you could take but I don%26#39;t know if it still exists. A schedule for the Coronado ferry is at http://www.coronado.ca.us/sd_ferry.asp





I hope you enjoy your trip.




Thanks so much. I am really looking forward to our trip!!!
