AmericaJR.com’s Gloria and Jerome Rzucidlo visited Coronado Island during their recent trip to San Diego. Coronado lies on geographic combination of an island and a tombolo connected to the mainland called the Silver Strand. Coronado is home to the famous Hotel del Coronado, built in 1888 and long considered one of the world’s top resorts[citation needed]. It is listed as a National Historic Landmark and appeared in films such as Some Like It Hot and The Stunt Man. It was the setting of the Dashboard Confessional song Stolen. The historic hotel has had many notable American guests, including Charles Lindbergh, Thomas Edison, Babe Ruth, Jack Dempsey, Willie Mays, Magic Johnson, and Muhammad Ali. Many presidents have also visited, including William Howard Taft, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, and George H.W. Bush.
