Ice Skating by the Sea
~ Hotel Del Coronado 2022 ~
It’s almost time for the holiday tradition, Skating by the Sea, at the Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego. My guess is this is the only beachfront ice skating available in the San Diego area, although there are several indoor ice rinks!
Skating by the Sea starts next Thursday, November 17th and continues through January 1st 2023.
Imagine ice skating under a bright blue sky with palm trees waving, the sun shining, and a gorgeous beach and ocean steps away! Yes, you might need a sweater, especially with our fall and winter ocean breezes, but typically at this time of year you can expect temps in the 50s to low 60s even at the beach during the day. Evenings can be cooler, however.
And there’s no snow to worry about…just some beautiful ice! Here's a video from YouTube (not mine!).
The iconic Hotel Del Coronado is a very special place by the ocean, and has been since 1888.
The Hotel Del, as it’s commonly called, is great fun for visiting, dining, or just drinks. And it’s even better during the holidays, despite the crowds, when the property and hotel are beautifully decorated. There is plenty of shopping in the area, people-watching is fun, and you can enjoy the ice skaters! Or join them!
There are several Hotel Del restaurants adjacent to the rink area that offer great views of the ocean and beach.
Another option? Enjoy reserved seating at the rink-side Frostbite Lounge with fire pits, comfortable seats, and beverage and food service.
Proceeds from Skating by the Sea will benefit the San Diego Make-A-Wish Foundation.
