"Jet At Ease!" Top 5 Page for this destination USNB North Island Tip by lmkluque

There are just a few ways that non-military persons can see this sight. One of them is to take a Harbor Cruise and as your tour passes an aircraft carrier you may see this or more. You won't be able to see aircraft taking off or landing on the carrier at Coronado, they only do that out at sea.

There are other glimpses of the Military presence in Coronado as well. At the north end of the Silver Strand on the west side, next to those huge towering condo buildings, you can see burnt out helicopters and other remnants of a "beach landing." This is a training site and it can seem like watching a movie when the action is taking place.

Another sight that is quite impressive is the groups of US Marines jogging along the beach from one end to the other, to keep in shape, and in shape they are. When jogging for training, they are in full uniform however, many of these guys jog during off duty hours and are not so full of clothes. This can be seen any time while sunbating on the sand at the beach in Coronado.
