You can take as ferry from three places in downtown San Diego to Coronado.. You arrive or depart here at the Coronado Landing. In all our years residing in San Diego we took our first ride across the bay after the Coronado Bay Bridge walk. The views were the best, it took awhile to get on the ferry as the event hosted 10k runners and walkers heading back to San Diego There is some free parking nearby, Quaint shops and a variety of quick eat and sit down restaurants to sit on the water here. A lovely place to see the San Diego skyline. #Coronado #TidelandsPark #Ferry #SanDiego read more

I stop by Coronado Ferry Landing from time to time because it's just one of those places that feels relaxing to walk around. I like that it's dog friendly since I usually come here with my dog, so you'll often see people out enjoying the area with their pets. The surrounding plaza has a nice mix of coffee shops, ice cream spots, waterfront restaurants, and small places to browse while taking in the view. There's also a grassy area that's well maintained and a nice spot to sit, relax, or just enjoy the scenery for a while. Parking is usually manageable with a decent amount of 2 hour and street parking available, but it can fill up pretty quickly. read more

Excellent site seeing trip on San Diego Bay at a minimum cost. This trip today cost $9 one way. End destination for this trip is Broadway Pier. There is at least one other destination so check the board before buying your ticket. I used a QR code at the landing to pay and it was super convenient. Just a few easy steps. The staff here are all very kind and helpful. The amenities are basic, but that's all you need for a short journey. read more

5 stars for the spectacular views and the sense of calm, how green and clean everything is. For me is all about the views and not so much about the shops. I had not been for a while and today spent some time walking and coffee drinking and talking to friends sitting there enjoying the whole scene of a big ship passing by, kids playing, a couple in a romantic date and much more. The stores are not that great, boutiques and souvenir shops but not too many. A couple of nice restaurants and there is paid parking available although I prefer to park nearby. read more

Do yourself a favor and take the ferry from the convention center area. Especially for people who don't like a rough boat ride. It's a very quick, slow, no waves, and hardly any wind ride. read more

You can catch a ferry from Downtown San Diego to Coronado or drive over the Coronado Bridge to get to Coronado Island. Ferry Service from San Diego to Coronado begins at 9:00am and leaves every hour on the hour. I love stopping here at Coronado Ferry Landing because you get beautiful views of the Downtown San Diego skyline and of the boats in Sans Diego Bay. I love taking in the cool breeze and the relaxing atmosphere. There is a small sand beach with a pier and plenty of parking. Coronado Ferry Landing is more than a ferry terminal. There is shopping, dining and art galleries. You can also rent a bike, kayak or paddle boats. I have ridden the bike path here on Coronado Island from the Ferry Landing to the Del. It is a nice ride and makes for a nice day. read more

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. read more

The ferry is nice. The place is normally oversee by a guy name Cameron. You cannot miss him. He is tan, thick calves, and wear glasses. Give him $20 bucks and he is much better your guide than anyone else on island. (He manages the little league team, I believe.) Ask for him if you're new here, don't waste time on anyone else. Catch him on his bike and bring him along. True local. Otherwise, the ferry is no different than the busses for Old Town. read more

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. read more

Worst service ever!! I commute on the ferry from Coronado almost daily. This morning they did not have tickets and they told me to remember some password to get back on. Unfortunately, I either remembered it incorrectly or forgot it. I was told I would not be allowed to complete my commute since I was unable to remember the password correctly. I was there at the ferry on my bike, knowing that there was a problem this morning without tickets, and knowing that there was some password that was need. Obviously, that should have been enough. Instead, the employee accused me of trying to get a free ride on the ferry by misleading them that I had come across this morning. What a farce and what an embarrassment!! I have never had such a poor customer service response, and I am honestly amazed at the way this was handled. I will say that I was finally provided a return trip, but the experience was beyond awful. What was the best commute experience is now something different. read more

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. read more

Whether you drive over on the coronado bridge or take the ferry, the Ferry Landing on Coronado Island offers a wonderful view and unique little village area. There are several restaurants, all within a short walk from the dock and all offering good food and service. There's also a variety of shops with a wide selection of clothering and San Diego touristy items. If you're looking for a unique day out with a beautiful view of the San Diego Bay, the ferry landing is the place to go. read more

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). read more

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.

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! read more

My wife and I attend the concerts at the Ferry Landing every Sunday between 2 and 5 PM. The groups performing always provide excellent, even fun music, and many attendees get up and dance on the sidewalk, much to the annoyance of bicycle-riding tourists. Within short walking distance is everything from ice cream to cold beer, and restaurants galore. It's always a relaxing afternoon at the Ferry Landing concerts. read more

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. read more

Taking the ferry to and from Coronado and downtown San Diego is a great option. The ride is about 15 minutes and costs $5 each way.

Coronado Ferry Landing Love this area of Coronado with the views of the San Diego skyline, the pathway along the shore and of course Peohe's. Nice gathering area along the shore with small patches of beach, biking paths to cycle, skate, skateboard or just walk or run to beautiful views of the San Diego Skyline or the Coronado Bridge. We love Peohe's restaurant and have had a couple times to celebrate on he patio along the water. Last time we were there, a 7.1 earthquake occurred and it felt like the restaurant went over a speed bump. Highly recommend this area and the surrounding portions and then head over to Orange Ave to the Del read more

I have lived in San Diego my entire life and I am ashamed to say that this was my first time ever riding the ferry! My family and I were in Coronado and decided to take a ride on the ferry. For $5 each way or $10 round trip you could either go to the Convention Center or to the Broadway Pier. We decided to head to the Broadway pier. The trip is ~20-30 min and it was a pretty pleasant ride sitting and enjoying the views and scenery of the San Diego Bay. The ferry leaves the dock about every 30 min and I saw that it runs even as late ~10PM but don't quote me on that! Note that there are no public restrooms on the ferry itself and only vending machines available if you need a beverage. Would definitely take another ride in the future! read more

Views of the San Diego skyline! We wanted to visit Coronado Beach, so thought taking the ferry would be a great way of seeing the area and it was! The view of the City of San Diego was worth the ferry ride, which was only a 15-minute route. From this ferry landing - you can also choose to go to the Convention Center or Broadway Pier. The Landing area has businesses, like small shops and restaurants that seemed to be touristy. We didn't spend much time here, as we wanted to go to the Beach which is over a mile walk from here. This was a great place to visit and fun way to travel as visitors. I especially recommend for anyone who wants a great view of San Diego. read more

How have I never been here until today. I was in awe and shock when a friend took me to the landing. The weather was beautiful and a perfect day to be in Coronado. The Landing wasn't too busy today . There's an automated machine where you can purchase ferry tickets . You can buy one way or round trip. The views of downtown from the landing are breathtaking. The shops and restaurants vary and are pricey but that's expected . The areas were well kept and the crowds all seemed awesome and happy . We plan on returning soon to try one of the restaurants. There's one coffee shop close by so you can grab a quick caffeine kick before you shop/explore/etc. read more

We love visiting Coronado Ferry Landing when we're in San Diego. The views of Downtown SD are always spectacular, and there's plenty of fun shopping and food here. We really enjoy getting dessert, walking around, and looking at all the shops. We also try to get lunch at one of the restaurants here too. On a beautiful day, you'll see tourists riding bikes and enjoying their picnic lunches under the shaded trees or on the grass near the water. We usually stop and get something at Coronado Cupcakery or Choco Amore. On our last visit, my son got a frozen banana covered in chocolate and covered in M&Ms from Choco Amore. It was a really warm day, and he said chocolate covered banana was even more delicious because it was frozen. There are some really cute gift shops here. We found cute things at Captain Coronado's and La Camisa T-Shirts & Sweats. One of my kids loves snow globes, and we found some great San Diego snow globes at each store. We like getting lunch here too. Candelas, Spiro's Gyros, Peohe's, and Il Fornaio are a few of the favorites. Whether we're in San Diego for the weekend or visiting the Del for the day, it's always fun to spend a couple of hours here on each visit! read more

We came to visit San Diego for our vacation, but I had never heard of Coronado until my nephew brought us here to continue our sight seeing! We found ourselves near the Coronado Ferry Landing which is just a small part of what is in store for the avid tourist! Along the bay is a long strip of sandy beaches, a wharf, boats out boating and sailing, a nice array of shops and restaurants, and you can't miss the terrific views of San Diego across the water. There is so much to see and do here that I wish we had more time to explore! But at least we got in some shopping and a bite to eat at one of the restaurants. And if you have a canine companion, don't forget to check out Coronado's dog beach just a few miles away! This town has a lot to offer! read more
