also check out this really cool skate park right here on the corner of this park alright guys we're on the skateboard we're gonna skate along the san diego bay with the coronado bay bridge behind me we're here at this park where everybody's all social distance right now hanging out look at this they have some pretty cool sculptures around here [Music] there's a pathway along the bay and it's going to lead me all the way to peoe's and il fernaio is an italian restaurant and these are some pretty nice restaurants to go have weddings and banquets and also have a nice little dinner date out with your loved ones there's the beautiful san diego bay and the convention center across the way a few vlogs ago we were just there at embarcadero park now you can take a ferry from that area all the way over here and spend a day over here so you could park your car in downtown which is a little expensive i parked over here at the park and it was free they even have sea doo rentals and bike rentals over here right along the way that's where the padres and dodgers are playing tonight we're in the middle of a three game series with the dodgers it's tied up one to one we also got some people kayaking what i love about this area is peoe's poe's is a restaurant over here last time i was at p.o.e was my boss's wedding yeah that was like maybe six seven years ago already they even have apartments here and it's private property so you can't really go on it and they have these cool multi-colored beach chairs it's blocked off right now though we even got some sailboats right over this way and down in the distance is the uss midway right there is the adventure horn hornblower where you could go on a hornblower lunch cruise it looks like the inside may be closed but the outdoor areas are open so people are probably enjoying a cruise from outside moving along the bay towards imperial beach and mexico now another little tip for you here this is the parking lot to ill fernando and peoe's kinda empty so if you guys want to find parking there's street parking near the park that i just parked at or look for parking around the island on the weekends it'll get really busy [Music] that right there is ill for nayo [Music] and right across the way from ilfranio is this little baby beach right here which is cool and pio's this is where poes is right here and it's one of the most beautiful restaurants in all of san diego right behind me is the entrance to peoe's now this is a great restaurant they have awesome seafood and it's kind of island style hawaiian style and i definitely recommend going here it's a little more on the pricey side but i definitely recommend going here if you want to have a nice view of the san diego skyline and also just enjoy a relaxing night with your significant other or your family so just outside peoe's they have a little lawn where you can enjoy bring out some lawn chairs and hang out and just people watch and look at the boats he always does have outdoor seating right out there with those green canopies there's also this nice little beach right here next to costa azul coronado and a few other restaurants village pizzerias right here as well so this is the coronado ferry landing where you can hop a ferry back to downtown san diego this right here is the shopping area of coronado you can pick up your souvenirs look at that you can pick up souvenirs some clothes you don't have any yeah this is where all the good san diego souvenirs are but they're probably a little more on the pricey side this area is the east end of coronado island if you go down orange which is the main street here orange has all the restaurants bars and shops and it'll lead you all the way to the hotel dell which we're about to do [Music] we're now on first street we're about to hit orange just up the way here and i'm just going to get on the bike lane and cruise down all the way to the hotel dell this right here is nikki roddens they offer curbside pickup and also have outdoor balconies right behind me is coronado brewing company now they have some really great beers and they're distributed around california we might have to stop by in here on the way out [Music] now we have all these older cool houses over here this is the el rancho motel now there's some really cool victorian style and some unique looking houses around this area there's another sign that i missed my second home barcelona apartments look at that look at these nice little houses they're probably really expensive [Music] that sign right there says mask up coronado it's a masked up imagine dragon it's actually called the imagine dragon just like the group the music group this is cool this is the coronado library and they have library return over here and there's some organic coffee mallow brew this is a really nice park where they have festivities like little concerts and stuff during the weekend now we're starting to enter the area where it really gives you a little old-time feel matanees only this is their theater so there are signs in this area where it says you have to walk your wheels so you can't really escape through here but i think on a street over you can ride it as freely as you want on the bike path so i think i might turn right on my next opportunity now these houses on the avenue are beautiful and they also have parking here coronado is definitely an older crowd so you're going to get a lot of older people here it's not really a party place but the beach is ranked number six in the nation on one of these lists i've never really gone to the beach that much over here i'm not really that much of a beach person but i i really do think it's a beautiful beach especially with the hotel dell in the background look at that how red that roof is down the way that's point loma you've seen the point loma video in the past that's point loma that's where the cabrillo national monument is coronado is also home to a naval base which is right behind me if you just go down this street you'll end up hitting the naval base and i've been there once before to drop off some stuff at a uh aircraft carrier now just down the way is the hotel del coronado the most famous hotel in san diego look at these houses though these are some definite haunted houses for sure in that mansion now for those of you that never been to san diego before the hotel del coronado it's the inspiration to the grand floridian in orlando near magic kingdom in disney world you got cruise ships over there in the distance and this is a long beach this is a wide and long beach which goes all the way down to silver strand if you go south a couple miles you'll hit imperial beach where you've seen a video of me and my friend the 20-something traveler rio and yeah check that video out after this these are some beautiful villas right here right off the beach looks like you can also rent some umbrellas and canopies over here too all right

you can see the skyline down in the distance and the beautiful hotel dell and there's some construction going on right over here all right let's see if we can take a sneak peek in the inside of hotel del [Music] coronado look at that that's definitely a ghost right there this right here is the center of the hotel and registration right over this way right across the street from this beautiful hotel del coronado is miguel's cocina it's a mexican food spot they got outdoor dining and i'm gonna go check it out we're walking into miguel's to cena for lunch [Music] store one please yeah thank you so this white sauce that they have they used to cater my work this is some balm queso and it comes with the tortilla chips now you get this when you sit down and i got the flautas the carnitas castle that's how i remembered it this question is got a little jalapeno kick to it so if you don't like spicy it's not too spicy but it's not that jalapeno-ish kick to it their salsa is really good too all right guys so we got the flautas right here got some guacamole up top some pico de gallo some of that cheese this is going to come in use because i love putting this jalapeno special cheese they call this miguel's special cheese i'm going to dip it in that it's money in the bank here we go first bite now it's got that deep fried fluffiness it's not really crunchy it's just nice and soft with the carnitas in the inside oh man i love this i miss this this is my favorite go-to lunch while uh they were catering us at work a little bit of guacamole that is bread i love it now that's a flauta baby put a little of the red sauce on it this time around this isn't the only miguel's in town there's actually miguel's in old town and they're scattered around the city so if you're looking for a nice mexican food flauta come over to miguel's it's pretty good and it comes with the tortilla chips and the two sauces we gotta love it so we had a great lunch here at miguel's casino now off the coronado brewing where we're gonna pick up some hazy ipas let's go looks like they have a five dollar happy hour here tuesday to friday three to six and monday three p.m the close look at that
