If you plan to leave the property, you may wish to get a rental car, otherwise you can take a taxi, Uber, or shuttle. Once on property, it is simple to get a taxi or Uber. There is a shuttle service from the hotel to Silver Strand Beach and Downtown Coronado Village. No reservations are necessary. The Loews Coronado Bay Resort currently only has valet parking.
