    The views from Coronado Ferry Landing are amazing. The vast blue sky and water are so beautiful. It was very peaceful. The pier brings the cute bird wildlife and refreshing winds. Must see tourist attraction.

    The walk down the pier is made sure you have your ticket. When you come on the pier the ticket machine at the enterance.

    The many travels that I have been on have been the ones that have been rripsvto the many states of the North and the state of Washington State one of the greenest . Taking a day out on the ferry from the Embarcadero to the Coronado Village it's the one boat that takes you near the Coronado Bridge. There is the Coronado Ferry that takes you from the San Diego Pier to the village when you arrive at the village the many eateries and gift stores. The Coronado Ferry is one of the many boat docks that handles the large groups of people to those that are taking their boats on the Ferry. The service they provide is getting the ferry loaded they do leave on a schedule . When you arrive on the Island you have a great selection of the many and the Ice Cream and Cup Cake shops that will tickle your fancy. Arriving at the Village you see the many buildings of the village for most of the buildings you have to take the bus to the Hotel Del Coronado. The transportation to the Coronado Village on the ferry it will cost 8.50 one way and the total of 19.00 for a round trip that you can use the round trip when you have ended the day the two ferry's one that takes you to the back of the San Diego Convention Center. The Derry Landing is one that is needing to be replaced yet with the weather and the surf that washes over the docks the Ferry Landing is one that has some of the longest history. Being a Yelp Elite Reviewer there are many places that have been the greatest places with the many fabulous places and the foods that have a great time with great drinks.

    Def walked past this a bunch of times but haven't actually taken the ferry over until last weekend. Super easy to use with the schedule posted for you to see (it's also available online). You can purchase tickets online or right at the kiosk when you walk up. Super fast - about 10 minutes to zip across and runs every half hour. Love ferries! When we were here it was a small water taxi servicing the route but it was still quick and easy.

    Eat, Drink and be Ferry Even if you're not catching a Ferry (which we didn't) this is a great place to stop at when visiting Coronado simply for the spectacular views of the San Diego skyline, ocean and, of course, great people watching. There's also lots of places to eat and shop at nearby, so plenty to keep one busy when visiting the area.

    Took the ferry from the convention center to coronado, where you are dropped off here. It's a small shopping center with good places to eat. There is also a small beach overlooking the bay. It took about 15 minutes to walk through area and many of the restaurants had decent crowds in the outdoor area. Imagine this place gets pretty busy during the weekend and holidays. We ended up taking a lyft back to our hotel in downtown san diego ($14 one-way which ended up being cheaper than taking the ferry back).

    It was a very beautiful day and plenty to do. We were very happy with the trip and the place.

    Had a great time here with a friend of mine for about an hour or so. Very clean area/beach with friendly people. There was a steady flow of people & dogs here & there. Decent amount of 2 hour parking, street parking is also available. Very cute fun area to be in.

    Great time to explore the nicest view of San Diego city on the water, from Coronado to downtown, and I am on the other side today, $8 for one way ticket, you can buy with the kiosk or online, both works, parking might be tricky as it shares with other businesses in the area, so you only get 2 hours free, then paid after, or get fined. Recommend for any occasions.

    I love coming here to stroll around! Beautiful view!!! They have some restaurants, gift shops and dessert shops in the area to check out! Great place to bring your family and friends or anyone visiting town! I usually go on the weekday so it's not too crowded!

    Beautiful day at the bay

    Coronado Ferry Landing is a awesome spot for a great getaway with friends and family if your into pier fishing, laying out on the sand, or just enjoying the beautiful weather this great City has to offer. Located on the other side of San Diego lays the beautiful city of Coronado. This city can either be reached by crossing over the Coronado bridge or taking the silver stand by Imperial beach but I prefer crossing the bridge for the scenic views you get while driving over. If your looking to take the ferry either from San Diego to Coronado or vice versa there is 2 locations in San Diego. One of them is on Broadway by the Embarcadero and the other is on the other side of the Convention center. The Ferry comes on a set schedule all the way from dusk to dawn with very reasonable prices and you are also allowed to bring bicycles as well. Once getting off the Ferry in Coronado you will arrive at a pretty decent size fishing pier where you are allowed to fish without a fishing license. They also have a nice sized " beach" landing with sand and water where kids and dogs and even you can run around in the sun and get some good swimming in. I wouldn't really call it a beach since its the bay technically but its still fun! There are tons of restaurants, bars, and tourist things to do as well within feet of the Ferry landing so there will never be a dull moment. So if your ever find yourself doing the same thing over and over again why not take some time and catch the ferry to Coronado and have a fun filled day in the gorgeous weather either fishing or relaxing off the bay and getting some food at one the many restaurants provided and I'm sure you will have a great time as well as getting some of the best pictures of the San Diego Skyline!

    Absolutely stunning with great staff! You can sit on the upper deck and it was the best view ever!!!!!

    San Diego skyline from dock
    Orsolya D.

    There are two groups of people in life: those who try to ignore their birthdays and those who are extra are the King or Queen for the day (or week, or month even). I fit into the latter group. My birthday is MY day and you literally don't matter on MY day! I like celebrations for days and being the center of attention. So, when my 35th birthday rolled around my ex-boyfriend and I planned a weekend getaway to Coronado Island and San Diego (don't ask why I still hang with my ex - that is another story); I was stoked and ready to see the beautiful skyline, drive on Coronado Bridge, etc. Now, if you are like me and was previously a San Diego virgin (or even if you are a regular visitor); the drive across the beautiful Coronado Bridge will take your breath away when heading to the island. The blue sparkling water filled with sailboats on one side, large cargo and military ships on the other, the San Diego skyline twinkling like lights... you really can't beat this postcard-esque experience. But you can try and the way to do so is to make your first pit stop at the Coronado Ferry Landing. The Coronado Ferry Landing is located in Centennial Park not far from the Coronado Bridge (let's be frank: everything on the island is pretty close). The compound provides ample, free parking that does fill up but there always seems to some open spots. As deemed by the moniker, the Coronado Ferry Landing is literally that: the landing dock of the ferry that one can take between downtown SD and the island. However there is so much more to this place. The acreage of Centennial Park and Coronado Ferry Landing contains small boutique shops, tourist stores (perfect for your Coronado and SD postcards and trinkets), eateries, restaurants (BBQ, ice cream, pizza), and cafes. Need to work off all that food you just gobbled down? You can burn those calories by renting a bike, paddleboard, or kayak. You can also opt to hoof it on foot and take a walk along the water and on the dock to breathe in the crisp, ocean air and take a million pictures of the SD skyline for your social media accounts (cause we all know if there are no pics, then it didn't happen!). The Coronado Ferry Landing is also the home to various events and hot happenings as my visit was during the weekend of a pumpkin patch for Halloween. Rest assured that Coronado Ferry Landing will indeed spark countless social media likes on your photos as the view is gorgeous, the water is clean, the small sandy nook is litter-free, and the paths and landscaping is well-maintained. This is a great place for an afternoon stroll, a stress-detox or a romantic date. My only quip? A few of the shops I went into didn't have the friendliest associates even in those I made purchases. Perhaps they are tired of tourists which I can understand but it still made me feel awkward. The actual dock is short and indeed filled with bird-poop but it is still nice to walk out onto. I can't vouch for the ferry as I didn't make use of the mode of transportation but the dock has a covered seating area for patrons to make use of while waiting for the boat to arrive. Whatever your reason for visiting, the Coronado Ferry Landing should be your first stop for a solid eat, dine, and play experience and stunning views of the SD skyline. Although not a huge pier/wharf providing giant entertainment; the Coronado Ferry Landing in Centennial Park is a must-see spot.

    I only have two malls i consistently go in San Diego, the Fashion Valley Mall and the UTC Mall…read more However, UTC mall is more of a leisure... to walk around and kill time, for my son to play at the playground, for the festivities on the holiday season especially Xmas, to have family fun dates and good food experiences at nearby restaurants and the mall I always go to every time I have issues with my Apple iPhone and techs. The fashion Valley Mall tho, is my main mall. This is the mall where I actually do most of my shopping. We watch movies at the AMC theater when we have extra time and get food at the cafeteria/food court area after hours of walking. My son never misses going inside the Laderach to get a free taste, the best chocolate there is. We love going to this mall, especially with my son now being a teenager, we would most likely be doing lots of our shopping activities here especially at his favorite boutiques, like the zumies, Hollister, Rayban, and plenty others I do not recall.... We also love going to The escape room where the mall is. My favorite is the Nordstrom Rack! ;) The holidays tho could get really packed and busy but there's alot of nice things to see and lots of good deals to look forward to.

Endless spots to park! That's a first! Are malls dead now? How are stores surviving? Anywhoo, I still spent more than planned. Damn you, Sephora! Pros: *Surprisingly easy parking (a rare mall miracle) *Huge mix of stores from bougie to budget - Louis Vuitton, Coach, Hollister, Macy's, Nordstrom's, Neiman Marcus, H&M, Zara, and Gucci to name a few *Open-air vibe with palm trees; very San Diego aesthetic with a tropical feel; complete with fountains and artistic landscaping *Solid food options with a food court, cafes, and kiosks, Cheesecake Factory, Seasons 52, and my fav, True Food Kitchen *Clean and well-maintained and easy to wander around *There's a lot of variety here to keep you entertained *They have seasonal events that is a nice addition to shopping Cons: *Felt oddly empty for a Sunday..kinda eerie but it may be an introvert paradise *Dangerous for your wallet (you will overspend) *Some stores seem like they're hanging on by a thread *Malls just don't hit like they used to despite the pros- mainly because everything has gone up! Shopping isn't as enjoyable when things cost an arm and a leg. Overall: 3.5 Stars - Still one of the nicer malls around if you're in the mood to stroll, shop, and accidentally blow your budget (Guilty!). Would I come back? Only if my bank account approves!

    Can't go wrong coming here when we are in San Diego. You can't really take your time in each store…read moresince the parking is unfortunately timed. I believe the gym and the AMC movie theatre helps extend your parking validation from the first free 2 hours, but just note it's an hour more. If you pass it, you pay minimum $3. My boyfriend and I enjoyed several activities this outdoor mall had to offer. The movie theatre is cozy and convenient. The indoor ice rink is available to be viewed in the food court. Ice skating there was fun too! Very dog-friendly with lots of dogs strolling around! There's a mini dog park too, which is very nice. Pretty high-end stores here and lots of additional upscale stores are coming soon to expand the mall even further. I kinda wish there was more restaurants but I doubt they validate. In summary, it's not a bad way to spend your time in La Jolla!

    Apocalyptically awful parking lot!…read more This parking lot is a chaotic, soul-crushing labyrinth that may very well be the single worst design I've encountered in my 79 long, well-traveled years on this planet. Upon entering, you're handed a cheerful little ticket promising a free first hour--how generous! What they don't tell you is that you'll spend roughly two-thirds of that hour trapped in a slow-moving purgatory just trying to escape. You've got about 20 blissful minutes to enjoy yourself before trying to join the line of cars that moves slower than a sloth on melatonin. I genuinely cannot tell if the exit gates are malfunctioning, cursed, or if the drivers ahead of me were participating in some sort of cognitive endurance experiment. Multiple cars took a baffling 4-5 minutes each at the gate--an interaction that should take about 10 seconds unless you're attempting to solve a Rubik's cube while blindfolded. By the time I escaped, I had aged another decade. I will absolutely never return to this parking lot. Bring a helicopter. Hope this helps.

There's a Burlington Coat Factory, Petco, Michael's, Von's grocery store, Bank of America, Five Below, and much more! Overall, a nice shopping center with many options!
