I am editing a historic diary. The writer describes driving to Coronado in 1927. Was that possible? Was Silver Strand available as a road during low tide?

Thank you! One more mystery solved.

Hello Judy, Looking at primary sources, our understanding is that there was a dirt road pretty much since before the Hotel del Coronado was built when it wasn’t covered by water periodically. Below is the first mention of it being paved - thanks to John D. Spreckels long before 1927 on November 29, 1913. Here is the newspaper article: https://cdnc.ucr.edu/cgi-bin/cdnc?a=d&d=CJ19131129.2.2&srpos=7&dliv=none&e=-------en--20-CJ-1-byDA-txt-txIN-“Silver+strand”-------1

Possibly

The ferry would have been the most likely method to drive Ferry began operation in 1886
