Father’s Day 2017 Coronado & San Diego Activity Guide

Father's Day Coronado InnWith 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

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.
