This beach umbrella on Amazon.com looks like a good friend to bring to the Silver Strand Beach in Coronado whilst I research the Del. I’ll be staying at the Loews Coronado because it’s pet-friendly and also right across the street from the best beach. But I want to eat dinner at the place where Mrs. Simpson, later the Duchess of Windsor, stayed in one of the cottages. It fits the 1930’s theme of my thriller series.
