Christ Church Thrift Shop has operated as a Coronado thrift store since 1951, making it one of the longest-running resale shops on Coronado Island. Located at 1210 9th Street in the 92118 ZIP, the shop is run by Christ Episcopal Church and stocks donated clothing for men, women, and children, alongside accessories, housewares, kitchenware, books, and small home goods. Proceeds from every sale go back to the church's community outreach programs, connecting Coronado shopping with direct charitable impact. Coronado's thrift circuit includes Thrift Cottage at 1211 Tenth Street and the Second Best Shop at 1513 Third Street — all three within a mile of each other, making a single-morning loop practical for secondhand regulars. The store sits one block off Orange Avenue, within walking distance of Hotel Del Coronado and the village district that defines Coronado Island's commercial center. Inventory turns over frequently because donations come from the island's residential community, where household downsizing and military PCS moves near North Island Naval Air Station generate a steady supply of quality goods. For new and used books specifically, Bay Books Coronado on Orange Avenue carries fiction, nonfiction, and a children's section that complements the thrift shop's donated paperback selection. The 9th Street location is a short walk from Coronado Beach, and tourists researching things to do in Coronado sometimes discover the shop after visiting the nearby Coronado Historical Association museum. Donation drop-off happens during store hours, and the volunteer staff sorts and prices incoming goods the same week, keeping the racks and shelves current with recent arrivals.
