For Maya & Daniel
An island night for year five — the ferry across the bay, dinner at Serẽa with the ocean over your shoulder, a shoes-off walk on Coronado Beach at sunset, and a nightcap at the Del's original mahogany bar.
Across the bay
First · Across the bay
Broadway Pier → Ferry Landing
Eleven minutes across the bay with the skyline shrinking behind you — the oldest date in San Diego, and still the best dollar-for-dollar. Beach cruisers wait at the landing if you want the Strand; otherwise it's a five-minute cab down Orange Ave.
$16 / two, one way

Then home — the long way.
Why this night
You told us Maya still talks about the ferry you took on your second date, and that Daniel's idea of romance is salt air and nowhere to be. So the night crosses the water instead of driving it, and every stop after the boat is within a barefoot walk of the next.
Don't forget the small things
The anniversary card
Write it on the ferry — the crossing is exactly long enough.
A light layer
The beach drops ten degrees the moment the sun does.
Shoes that slip off
The 8pm stop is barefoot. Dress from the ankles up.
