There’s nothing quite like a movie night in Coronado, especially when it’s hosted under the stars, with the sound of the surf just steps away.
We had the absolute joy of kicking off our weekend with the Coronado Island Film Festival’s beachside screening of Mamma Mia! at the iconic Hotel Del. It was one of those perfect Southern California evenings where the breeze is warm, the sky is clear, and the energy is pure joy.
From the opening credits to the final scene, the sand was filled with singing voices, swaying hips, and more than a few spontaneous dance parties. Families brought blankets, couples cozied up in beach chairs, and the crowd belted out ABBA hits like they were part of the cast.
The Hotel Del continues to be a magical backdrop for community events like this where the beauty of our island meets the vibrancy of Coronado’s cultural life. A huge thank you to the Coronado Island Film Festival for bringing us all together once again for a night of nostalgia, music, and memory-making.
Coronado is calling… and sometimes, it’s singing.
