Imperial Beach, Things To Do
Imperial Beach is one of the last untouched beach towns in Southern California,
and has been titled Classic Southern California®. The town is best known
for miles of uncrowded beaches, big surf, the IB Fishing Pier and unparalleled
open space and wetlands teeming with wildlife. There is much to see and do in
Imperial Beach, take advantage of the following ideas.
-
IB beaches are a great place to surf, boogie board,
sunbath, swim and play volleyball.
-
The 1,500 square foot Imperial Beach Pier is a great
place fish, stroll, see surfing from above or grab a meal at the popular Tin
Fish restaurant and watch the sun set.
-
Enjoy Pier Plaza Park (a true outdoor surfing museum)
boarding the Pacific Ocean at the base of the IB Pier. At the center of the
park stands IB’s signature art piece called “Surf Henge”, a 20’ tall
translucent acrylic representation of surfboards stuck in the sand created
by artist Malcolm Jones. Check out the big wave surfing history that’s
explained in some detail on plaques placed next to ten benches resembling
surfboards that are spread throughout the Pier Plaza. The concrete seawalls
surrounding the park are adorned with exquisite glass and tile work called
“illuminations” by artist Mary Lynn Dominguez.
-
The Tijuana Estuary Visitor Center is located at 301
Caspian Way is the place to learn about the areas unique and interesting
wildlife, migratory birds, coastal dunes, and a world- renowned estuary,
2,531 acres of tidal wetlands.
-
Bird watching is a year-round activity in Imperial
Beach. Home to 310 species of birds, makes for the best birding area in
coastal Southern California. The National Wildlife Refuges on IB’s southern
boarder is a key stopover for migratory birds along the Pacific Coast and is
the last haven for more endangered species than anywhere of similar size in
the continental United States.
-
Dine and shop on Palm Avenue, IB´s main street or at
Seacoast Drive adjacent to the Pacific Ocean. Imperial Beach offers cafes
and restaurants with seafood, American fare and ethnic cuisine. Outdoor
dining is available to enjoy IB´s weather. The local shops provide a
wonderful atmosphere to pick up that unique gift and provide everyday
staples.
-
Bike, skate, or jog or walk along miles of dedicated
paths that hug the coastline. The dedicated paths provide a great way to
exercise and see some of Imperial Beach's spectacular scenery.
-
Imperial Beach is the site of the highly anticipated U.S. Open Sand Castle
Building Contest, which draws competitors from around the world each July.
This three day event attracts around 300,000 spectators who come to enjoy
the sandcastles, street fair, parade and a dozen bands.
-
Take a fun trip to near by downtown San Diego (15
minutes), Coronado (7 minutes), or Mexico (5
minutes).
