In reply to tim.Thanks for the note. Looking at a map, I see what you mean about it not being an island. It is a long, narrow peninsula that leads to a large land mass. Yet, when you type "Coronado Island" into Google, you get the "island" with the naval base. Interesting!

FYI- If you are speaking of the landmass about a mile southwest of downtown San Diego, called “Coronado” it is not an island. Coronado Island(s) are a group of 4 Mexican owned islands about 10 miles Southwest of San Diego.

In reply to neihtn2012.Good question. In researching the article, I found it can take the sculptor a couple of days or more to complete a complex castle. There were two the day we were there, both dated that day. Don't know if there were two sculptors or if they were just both finished that day.

Excellent photos, John. Just out of curiosity, how long do those sand castles last before crumbling or being blown away?

Coronado Island is one of my favorite places to go in San Diego. Glad you got the opportunity to visit. I can (almost) promise that next time, San Diego will indeed be “Sunny San Diego.”

In reply to Pride in Photos Photography.Indeed. Lots to see in San Diego, but I would love to spend a night or two at that hotel. I suspect it is out of my price range, however. :-)

In reply to Josh.The inherent risk of photography. On the other hand, a cloudy sky can add drama to an otherwise average snapshot. :-)

Incredible sand castles! It’s too bad when you go somewhere so far away for pics and it’s cloudy… I know the feeling.
