With the onset of summer comes the annual reminder to take an entire day and celebrate everything Dad. This year, we are dedicating June 18th to commemorate the dads in our lives who make everything that much better.
If you’re considering taking advantage of the holiday to venture to Southern California, you’re in luck! We go all out to celebrate Dad. Here are several activities to consider for both Coronado and San Diego.
Coronado Activities & Events
Power Up at the Beach
From soaking in the rays to lounging near the water to feeding your adrenaline with water sports, you can’t go wrong with spending Father’s Day at the beach! Whatever fits Dad’s style best, you can find it here. From enjoying our golden beach to revving up that wave runner, you can find it all on the island.
Here are some of the best ways to get out on the water.
Golfing
For some dads, there’s no better place to spend a relaxing Sunday than on the green. To all the golfing dads out there, Southern California has your number! Between the yearlong golfing weather and the driving ranges with ocean views, you can’t beat our greens.
Here’s our complete guide to golfing in the area.
Fire Up the Grill
While countless restaurants on the island will offer specialty Father’s Day brunches, take advantage of our never-ending sunshine and fire up that grill. Pick up all Dad’s favorite meats to make it a memorable event.
If you’re visiting from out of town, don’t worry. At Coronado Inn, we have grills that all of our guests can enjoy.
