Humans of Coronado is a photo series where we “bump” into residents and visitors around the “island,” completely unplanned and unfiltered.  It was inspired by Humans of New York. Next time you are out and about around town, you may just find yourself part of the next HOC series!

This segment of Humans of Coronado is in honor of Coronado’s 125th birthday! To celebrate, we asked locals what is their favorite part of Coronado.
