San Diego Viewpoint of Coronado Bridge & Island

Crossing over top of the bay area; this iconic lookout is best taken in on the water. Coronado Island is the crown jewel of San Diego, and the bridge is the gateway to it. Built-in 1926, this steel-concrete bridge connects the cities of San Diego and Coronado.

You can see a beautiful view of the Coronado Bridge on our speed boat tour. Drive your boat directly under this amazing two-mile landmark.

After taking this lookout point in from the water, get the land perspective with a GoCar Tour over to Coronado Island for a visit. Explore the quaint island, take in the pristine beaches, stop of a coffee and bite to eat before drive back to downtown San Diego. Visiting Coronado is a must-do in San Diego as the sites and viewpoints are unforgettable.
