The beachfront streets around the Hotel del Coronado, including Ocean Boulevard, are the island's postcard: broad sand, the red-roofed Victorian hotel that has stood here since 1888 and homes that look out over the Pacific.
- Character
- Iconic and scenic, with the beach at one end of the street and the Victorian hotel as a neighbor.
- Homes
- Beachfront and near-beach houses, plus condominiums and some homes converted or rebuilt over the years.
- Getting around
- Steps from the beach. A walk or short drive to Orange Avenue.
- Worth checking
- Coastal maintenance, flood and insurance requirements, event and visitor traffic near the hotel.
Living here
Living near the hotel means living in a place many people travel to visit. That brings a lively atmosphere, walkers on the beach in the morning and evening, and more visitors in summer and on holiday weekends. Owners get the beach, the sunsets and the sense of being at the center of Coronado's story.
Homes you will find
A range of beachfront and near-beach houses, many of them substantial, alongside condominiums and some homes that have been rebuilt or extensively remodeled. Oceanfront properties are limited in number, and each is quite individual.
What to check before you buy here
- Coastal upkeep. Salt air affects paint, metal, windows and mechanical equipment. Ask what has been replaced and when.
- Insurance and flood zones. Confirm requirements and costs for the specific address.
- Visitor traffic. Visit on a summer weekend to see how busy the street can be.
- Permits and coastal rules. Ask what applies to exterior changes near the shoreline.
Who it suits
Buyers for whom proximity to the beach is the point. If the sand at the end of your street matters more than a big yard, this is the area to see.
