Second Best Shop is a volunteer-operated thrift store at 1513 3rd Street in Coronado, run by the Coronado Hospital Auxiliary — a nonprofit organization that has supported Sharp Coronado Hospital since 1958. Every dollar from sales at the 92118 location goes directly to hospital projects, including emergency room expansion and patient-care equipment upgrades. The shop sits adjacent to Sharp Coronado Hospital's emergency department, stocking donated clothing, books, jewelry, housewares, picture frames, games, and small home items sourced from Coronado Island residents. Thrift shopping on Coronado Island is a compact circuit: Coronado Vintage on Orange Avenue handles antiques, jewelry, and repurposed furniture, while this shop covers the broader secondhand clothing and housewares categories. Coronado's resale market benefits from an upscale residential base, and the donations that cycle through Second Best tend to include designer labels, quality kitchenware, and gently used accessories that arrive in above-average condition. The 3rd Street address is a short walk from Hotel Del Coronado and the southern end of the Orange Avenue corridor, though the shop is set back from the main Coronado shopping strip in a quieter residential-adjacent block. Military families stationed at North Island Naval Air Station frequently donate during PCS transfers, and the Coronado Public Library runs a parallel community book-exchange program for residents looking to recirculate reading material. Tourists researching things to do in Coronado occasionally discover the shop on walks between Coronado Beach and the Glorietta Bay neighborhood. The volunteer team processes donations within days of arrival, keeping the inventory fresh for the weekday shoppers who make up the store's core customer base.
