WELCOME HOME TO CORONADO SHORES

Built between 1970 and 1978, Coronado Shores transformed the southern edge of Coronado Island into a landmark beachfront community. From Cabrillo Tower to La Princesa, the development introduced high-rise living to an island once known for its low coastal homes. Across 32 acres of sand just south of the Hotel del Coronado, its 10 towers have become an unmistakable part of the island skyline. And today, it remains the only true high-rise community in Coronado.
