C'mon, guys, this is a girl(maybe) from Russia who's soliciting for a
boyfriend.
You expect accuracy?

Actually, for someone who probably had never been to the spot where the
picture was taken, she did well. It was Adam's comment to which I took
exception. I've lived in San Diego for 47 years, and I'm sure it would come
as a surprise to the founders of the Hotel del Coronado, not to mention
current management, to find that there was no Coronado Island across the bay
from San Diego... ;-)

Not to muddy the waters, but Microsoft Streets and Trips clearly labels
the island 'North Island' on its map.

North Island derived its name from the original geography. In the
nineteenth century, it was referred to as North Coronado Island. In
1886, North and South Coronado Island were purchased by a developer for
development as a residential resort. South Coronado became famous as the
city of Coronado, but fortunately for the Navy, North Coronado was never
developed. Instead, Glen Curtiss opened a flying school and held a lease
to the property until the beginning of World War I.

In point of fact, and examining a map carefully will show you, it is NOT
an island in the first place, but a peninsula.

Back in the late 19th century, it was an island at high tide, what is now
the Silver Strand was a low sandbar that was inundated when the tide was
more than moderately high. It was only at low tide that the sandbar
appeared. The developers dredged San Diego Bay to build up a causeway from
Imperial Beach to the hotel. I remember my dad taking the ferry across the
bay to the "island" to go to work at North Island. And that was in the
early to mid '60s.

The "Nickel Snatcher" ferry operation ended in 1966 or so. I made
certain to take my family on one of its last Coronado-bound trips, in
our 1960 Morris Minor 1000 "Woodie". The ferry appeared in several
movies, including _Battle Cry_.
