A Trike Adventure Begins

As a former city planner turned travel writer, I have a penchant for urban landscapes and hidden gems. So, when I heard about the Scenic Trike Tour in San Diego and Coronado, I knew it was a must-experience. The day began at the lively Broadway Pier, where the energy of the city was palpable. The electric trike, a modern marvel, awaited me, promising a unique way to explore the coastal wonders.

The tour kicked off with a leisurely ride along San Diego’s waterfront. The iconic harbors, historic ships, and the “Embracing Peace” statue were all within reach, each telling its own story. The trike offered a perfect blend of leisure and exploration, allowing me to capture the essence of the city through my lens. The vibrant Seaport Village was a delightful stop, bustling with life and offering a taste of the local culture.

Crossing the Bay

The transition from San Diego to Coronado was nothing short of magical. A mini-cruise aboard the ferry provided panoramic views of the bay, a serene segue from the urban hustle to the tranquil retreat of Coronado. The ferry ride was a moment to pause and reflect, to soak in the beauty of the surroundings and anticipate the adventures ahead.

Upon arrival in Coronado, the tree-lined avenues and whimsical homes welcomed me. The trike tour continued, weaving through the charming streets, each corner revealing a new story. The legendary Hotel Del Coronado stood as a testament to the rich tapestry of local history and seaside elegance. It was a place where time seemed to stand still, offering a glimpse into a bygone era.

Discovering Coronado’s Charms

Coronado’s top-rated beach was a highlight of the tour, a stretch of sand that seemed to go on forever. The gentle waves and the salty breeze were a reminder of the simple pleasures in life. The trike made it easy to explore the beach at my own pace, stopping to admire the view or to simply enjoy the moment.

As the tour came to an end, I found myself reflecting on the day’s journey. The Scenic Trike Tour was more than just a ride; it was an exploration of the soul of San Diego and Coronado. It was a day filled with scenic beauty, captivating stories, and leisurely exploration. For anyone looking to experience the delights of these coastal gems, this tour is a must-do.
