Please sign our petition opposing a developer’s latest plan for 41 RV-style “cottages” and two multi-functional buildings on North Grand Caribe Isle in the Coronado Cays. The developer initially called the proposal a RV-Resort but changed the project title to “Cottages at the Cays” after negative feedback from the public regarding RVs and trailer parks. However, the design of the units remains exactly the same! The units would be rented like a hotel room since residential units are not allowed to be built on Port-controlled land. Allowing this development to be permitted and built would restrict no-cost access to the bay for the public, negatively impact North Grand Caribe Isle and the surrounding community, and isolate/negatively impact the Coronado Cays Yacht Club. We OPPOSE commercial development at the boatyard on North Grand Caribe Isle. We SUPPORT making this land part of Grand Caribe Shoreline Park and the Port’s Green Necklace connecting parks and open spaces around the bay’s 50 measurable-miles of shoreline.
Support our cause and fight against developing North Grand Caribe Island! The inescapable conclusions are that the proposal would:
- Be contrary to the proposed Port Master Plan Update redesignating the area Recreation/Open Space in 2034!
- Add another hotel-like development to South Bay when we already have Loews Resort and just added a large hotel at Chula Vista Harbor!
- Restrict public access and enjoyment of the South Bay in favor of the those that can afford to rent the RV-Style “cottages!
- Increase traffic from delivery trucks, renters, and cars in the Cays, crowding our single, circular entrance, clogging the main roads, and adding to our existing parking problems!
- Bring excessive noise and night light to our residential community!
- Severely impact Coronado Cays Yacht Club operations by eliminating on-street parking and sub-leased special event space!

we are almost at 100 signatures and i really need you guys to shoot this link to your neighbors right now. if we hit that milestone before the next port meeting it shows them we are actually paying attention to what they are trying to pull at the cays.

The addition of the "cottages" will be a burden to our streets, parking, traffic, trucks and the probability of more crime because of easy access to the Cays. We have lived here over 35 years and we are definitely against the approval of the cottages. Thank you. Grant and Karen Miller
This would be a dramatic loss to the public of available shoreline access. The traffic engendered would impact lives of the current residents. Public spaces for nature enjoyment are shrinking through this type of development. Please, do not add to that trend by approval.
With the threat of sea level rise, it is more important than ever to retain green spaces and create nature-based solutions to stabilize the shoreline. We need to protect and restore our open spaces for the health of our bay.
I am against this proposed RV park they are now calling cottages. We have lived in the Cays upwards of 30 years. We value the lack of congestion, the peace and quiet and the opportunity for endangered wild life to prosper. This would be an awful proposition for the Cays.
I grew up in Bahama Village from childhood and am now in my 40s and last year bought property in Kingston Village. Do not ruin one of the last idyllic places in the United States by adding noise, traffic, and many unforeseen problems with Cottages at the Cays!!
I support the park not the cottages.

I would like to see the area returned to a natural state. Perhaps a display detailing the sanctuary, south bay habitat and rare turtles, birds and other indigenous species that could thrive without further development. Even a Scripps research/ educational center would be amazing.
