Coronado

The city grew up around the Hotel del Coronado, which opened in February 1888, less than three years after developers bought the land. Well-heeled visitors flocked to the hotel, and those with less means took up residence in Tent City, a summer community that operated from 1900 to 1939.

Coronado is also know as a Navy town with the adjacent North Island Navl Air Station. It was here that aviation pioneer Glen Curtiss experimented with seaplanes and opened a flight school for the U.S military, earning North Island the title of "Birthplace of Naval Aviation."

In 1936 the S.S Monte Carlo, an infamous gambling ship, crashed into Coronado shoreline.

The hull has been rotting away all this time, but depending on the tide and the time of year, you can see and explore the remains.
