I recommend you take the ferry from San Diego harbor to Coronado. It’s a little fun and short trip that takes you across the San Diego bay with view of the Coronado bridge, Downtown San Diego and Coronado Island.

Less crowded, nice beaches and great views of SD bay. I recommend taking the Ferry from San Diego Harbor (buy round trip ticket) you will enjoy the views both ways, however crossing the Coronado bridge by car is also a fun experience. This is a great place to rent bicycles (beach cruisers) and explore the island. Super family friendly!
