Coronado Beach
Take a ferry from Seaport Village to Coronado
This is a great way to enjoy the waterfront and take in some beautiful views of San Diego Bay! Head to Seaport Village and look for the Flagship Cruises ferry terminal where you can purchase a ferry ticket (typically $7–$9 each way) to Coronado island. The ferry ride takes about 15 minutes and offers fantastic views of the San Diego skyline. Ferries generally depart every hour, giving you plenty of flexibility. Once in Coronado, you can spend as much or as little time as you'd like exploring the island, visiting the beach, grabbing a bite to eat, or strolling through town before catching a ferry back to Seaport Village whenever you're ready.
