Coronado









One of the challenges last week was that the sun was going down around 5, which really cut into the time available for exploring beaches (at least seeing them in daylight).  I made it to the ocean side of Coronado Island about 4, which gave me time to wander the beach and arrive at the Babcock & Story Bar at the Hotel del Coronado at Happy Hour - which meant my beer and burger only set me back about $27, not counting tip. But it was a great place to watch the sun set over Point Loma.


The Hotel del Coronado is one of the classic grand wooden hotels of an earlier era - most have long since burnt down and/or been replaced by shiny towers.

The bottom photo in this set was taken several days later from Point Loma.
