Skating by the Sea Returns to the Hotel Del Coronado
Beginning November 26, 2019
Believe it or not the time has come for the popular Skating by the Sea at the Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego, the 15th consecutive year. I believe this is the only beachfront ice skating in San Diego!
Skating by the Sea starts Tuesday, November 26th and runs through January 5th 2020. Because of our rain (which was badly needed) the opening of the skating rink has been delayed a few days according to the hotel website.
Wow, imagine ice skating under a bright blue sky with palm trees waving, the sun shining, and a gorgeous beach and ocean just steps away!?
It’s possible you MAY need a sweater, especially with our fall and winter ocean breezes, but generally at this time of year you can expect temps in high 50s to low 60s at the beach. And no snow to worry about!
The iconic Hotel Del Coronado is a special place by the beach and ocean. The Del is great fun for visiting, dining, or just drinks, especially during the holidays, even though it can get crowded, when the property and hotel are beautifully decorated. There is plenty of shopping in the area surrounding the hotel, people watching is fun, and you can watch or even join the ice skaters!
You might enjoy reserved seating at the rink-side Frostbite Lounge to watch the skating, with fire pits, comfortable seats, and beverage and food service (here’s the menu).
Some of the proceeds from Skating by the Sea will benefit the San Diego Make-A-Wish Foundation.
