Imperial Beach Pier

Imperial Beach, "The Most Southwestern City in the U.S." Imperial Beach is at the heart of San Diego's South County, a land link between downtown San Diego, Coronado, Chula Vista, and the growing business and industrial community in the areas of Tijuana and Baja California. Imperial Beach has the comforts of a small beach community. Complete with a fishing pier that stretches 1,500 feet out over the Pacific Ocean, sandy beaches and excellent surfing conditions and climate, Imperial Beach is a less crowded, more affordable option to San Diego's northern beach communities.
