Coronado Islands at Dusk

The Coronado Islands, a rich sport fishing area 17 miles due south of Point Loma, are seen here using a 250 mm lens from 30 miles northeast on a clear day at dusk. The land in the foreground are the cities of Chula Vista and Imperial Beach, which are 7 to 9 miles due south of San Diego. Historically shrouded in veils of myth, mystique and mystery, the grouping of four Islas Coronados lies 12 miles off the coast of Mexico, southwest of Tijuana.
