About

Coronado Chamber of Commerce at 1125 10th Street is a California nonprofit organization advocating on behalf of Coronado Island's business community and promoting economic vitality across the Orange Avenue corridor in the 92118 ZIP. The Chamber works alongside Coronado MainStreet to coordinate merchant events, marketing campaigns, and streetscape improvements that sustain foot traffic on the commercial spine running from Hotel Del Coronado at 1500 Orange Avenue to the Coronado Ferry Landing bayfront. Membership spans restaurants, hotels, retailers, service providers, and commercial offices across the island, and the Chamber's advocacy portfolio includes lobbying on behalf of small businesses on issues such as transient occupancy tax policy, parking management, and the permitting process for outdoor dining and special events. Annual programs include the Coronado Business Awards, the Island Times newspaper advertising cooperative, networking mixers, and the visitor-information services that connect tourists arriving via the Coronado Bridge or the Coronado Ferry with the island's dining, lodging, recreation, and Coronado shopping options. Military-community liaison work connects the Chamber to the commands at Naval Air Station North Island and Naval Amphibious Base Coronado, whose personnel and families make up a significant portion of the island's consumer spending at Orange Avenue businesses. The 10th Street office location sits one block east of Orange Avenue, within walking distance of every commercial destination on the island's flat, bikeable grid, and the Chamber's relationship with the performing-arts community includes event-promotion partnerships with Lamb's Players Theatre on Orange Avenue. Visitor-information resources provide maps, restaurant guides, and hotel recommendations that highlight Coronado Beach, Hotel Del Coronado, and the island's walkable village as a day-trip or weekend destination from mainland San Diego.
