A little known fact that is often underplayed by the locals is that the Coronado Cays area was built on a county dump. The homes in that area are infested with mold, the dangerous kind. I have a friend who has been sued because of this. I ALSO have a friend who is currently in litigation on TWO different properties in the "Cays" regarding mold for his clients. Very big deal down there. Seldom talked about for obvious reasons.
I also lived there a long time ago and ANOTHER little known fact is the rat problem in Coronado. They are, in some places, being overrun with the rodents. Its gross. I saw them all the time and they are aggressive little buggers. It was a BIG deciding factor on why we left there.
In the (6 months) summer, you can plan on a 20-30 minute for 3 miles of travel because of the tourista's clogging the only main artery. The bridge is closed at least twice per month for suicide jumpers, further clogging the streets for hours and hours…Now add to that, an aircraft carrier coming to port and disgorging 5,000 sailors and their 5,000 strong greeting family members and you'll quickly get the picture…"We arent going anywhere tonight honey"
It is not the quaint little resort town you might think it is.
