Love Your Local Bookstore: Bay Books in Coronado, CA


There's just something special about shopping at a local bookstore. Maybe it's because you tend to see familiar faces, get to browse through new & sometimes local authors, find books you might not have discovered somewhere else, or perhaps you just love supporting your community. I love Bay Books for all those reasons and more. I grew up going to school just down the street, and while I generally checked books out from the library in elementary school, on special occasions we got to go shopping at Bay Books. Now whenever I'm back in town visiting, Bay Books is always on my short list of places I must go. (That and going to Village Pizzeria right across the street for the best pizza in the world.) 

Here is a description of the charming bookstore from their website:

Bay Books is an independently owned bookstore serving Coronado and San Diego County for over 20 years.  We specialize in new titles, indie favorites, military history, young adult and children's books.  We also carry foreign language magazines.

Bay Books carries a broad selection of books, from the latest published books to the established timeless classics. We boast an extensive Children's sections, with books and toys for all ages. Our Military History section is excellent, in support of our friends at the North Island Naval Air Station, MCRD, MCAS Miramar and at the Naval Amphibious Base. In addition to our books, we also offer a wonderful assortment of greeting cards (Papyrus), stationary,  journals (Moleskin and PaperBlanks) and specialty gifts. In addition, we offer one of the largest selection of magazines, domestic and international, in Southern California.

Located in Coronado, California, Bay Books is considered San Diego County's largest general independent bookstore.
