The Coronado Islands (''Islas Coronado'' or ''Islas Coronados'') are a group of four islands off the northwest coast of the Mexican state of Baja California. Battered by the wind and waves, they are largely infertile and uninhabited except for a small military detachment and a few lighthouse keepers. The islands lie between 15 and 19 miles south of the entrance to San Diego bay, but only 8 miles from the Mexican mainland. ==The Coronado Islands== The Coronado Islands are a Mexican wildlife refuge; visitors may anchor, scuba and snorkel, but trips ashore are not allowed. * North Coronado has no bay but boats can anchor on a jetty on the eastern side. * *Location: 〔Google Earth〕 * *Size: * *Height: * *Length: * Pilón de Azúcar (''Pile of Sugar'') is very hard to land on.
