San Diego - Coronado Bridge

The San Diego - Coronado Bridge is an iconic bridge crossing the San Diego Bay in the U.S. state of California. The bridge is a double-leaf bascule bridge made of reinforced concrete that connects San Diego with the Coronado Peninsula. More than 200 million vehicles have crossed this bridge since it opened in 1969, and now it's an iconic symbol of the city and a popular spot for photos. The bridge features a sweeping arch design, and gives panoramic views of downtown San Diego, the Coronado peninsula, and San Diego Bay from the 70-foot-high roadway. Visitors can drive across the bridge or take a leisurely stroll across the pedestrian walkway located at the base of the bridge. It's also a great spot for whale watching since the bridge provides a unique vantage point from which to spot them.
