San Diego → Coronado: key facts

Getting from San Diego Airport (SAN) to Coronado takes about 15 min by car on an empty road (15–25 min in heavy traffic) over 12 km. Our private transfer costs $95 for a car with 1–3 passengers or $140 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.

On arrival: The driver meets you in the baggage claim area of the terminal your flight arrives at (Terminal 1 or Terminal 2), holding a sign with your name, and walks with you to the Transportation Plaza in front of the terminal, where ground transportation is picked up. If the flight is late, the driver adjusts to the real landing time; 60 minutes of waiting are included and help with the luggage is part of the service.

Coronado lies on a peninsula across San Diego Bay, opposite downtown, and despite the short distance from the airport the drive has to go around the bay. The route follows North Harbor Drive towards downtown, joins Interstate 5 south for a few kilometres and then climbs onto State Route 75, the high, curved San Diego-Coronado Bridge, which has no toll. On the Coronado side the road becomes Fourth Street and leads to Orange Avenue. Bridge traffic is heaviest on weekday mornings and afternoons because of the naval base on the island.

Coronado is a small, quiet city with tree-lined streets and a long, wide beach facing the Pacific. Orange Avenue, the main street, runs from the bridge and the Ferry Landing on the bay side to the Hotel del Coronado, the large Victorian wooden resort hotel from 1888 at the southern end of the beach. Most other hotels and holiday rentals are close to Orange Avenue or along the beachfront, while Naval Air Station North Island occupies the northern part of the peninsula. The Silver Strand continues south towards Imperial Beach.

Public transport instead: San Diego Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) bus Route 992 from Elevated platform at Terminal 1 or Terminal 2 to Kettner Blvd and W. Broadway, Santa Fe Depot — about 15 min, every 15 minutes, daily from about 4:30 to 1:00. San Diego Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) bus Route 901 (Downtown - Coronado - Imperial Beach) from Downtown San Diego / 12th and Imperial Transit Center to Orange Avenue, Coronado (Hotel del Coronado), 1 change. No direct public transport: MTS Route 992 runs to downtown San Diego, where MTS Route 901 crosses the Coronado Bridge to Orange Avenue and the Hotel del Coronado.
