If your drving, it does require some concentration (understatement if your new to the bridge). I drove over it in a Mazda Miata and it was a bit intimidating. You are really up there and open to the sky.

The Coronado Bridge leads you over to Coronado, where "Some like it Hot" with Marilyn Monroe and other movies were filmed back in the hay day of movie making. It's a bit secluded and ritzy at this stage,, however the bridge is a marvel. If you ride across the bridge before rush hour traffic, you can see the 'median movers'... More

As a driver it's not much fun when you got to keep your focus on the road. The bridge is curved which is interesting. Great view of San Diego from the other side. The island is a MUST. So calm, beautiful, serene. Loved this place - felt so different to downtown San Diego. Nice beach. Lovely restaurants. Great to spend... More

2nd best views overall (up on Point Loma are better of the whole area), but the best of the Harbor, skyline, and South Bay. Wife has a fear of heights, so I finally had to move into the center lane before she murdered me, but it's still an astounding view.

Make sure to take a trip across this bridge to get some amazing views of Coronado, downtown, San Diego Bay, and Point Loma. It is free to cross and there is a convenient u-turn lane when you reach the island if you want to turn around right away and not even bother with the island.

It's beautiful to look out and see all of that water. The ride to Coronado Island was exelerating and although windy it was still fun. Walked the beach and the water is frigid and the waves splashed by grandson in the face and he said it was salty.
