Imperial Beach - camping and city information
Imperial Beach
Imperial
Beach is the most southwesterly community in the U.S. Quiet, solitary, and
still a bit of a hippie community, this is a great beach for relaxation away from
the crowds. The Imperial Beach Fishing Pier is a popular place for fishing. Imperial
Beach is home to the yearly U.S. Open Sandcastle Competition because it has some
of the best sane in the nation. It has a park with picnic, volleyball, and basketball
areas and a playground for kids, as well as restrooms and showers.

There are two wildlife sanctuaries and a state park just south of Imperial Beach. The Tijuana Slough National Wildlife Refuge, the Tijuana River National Estuarine Sanctuary, and Border Field State Park offer opportunities for hiking and birdwatching. |
Jason's thoughts - Cool beach with lots
of free parking but no views from cliff tops and lots of rocks around. Saw a few
guys with crossbows leashed with spools of heavy gauge fishing line so they could
"spear fish" right from the beach in knee-deep water. Kelly and I sat
down on some warm rocks and double peed because there were no bathrooms and the
water was freezing. Can see many hilltop buildings in Mexico from here.
Kelly's thoughts - A lonely beach away from the action
around the Pier. I thought this beach was a little boring except in the distance
you could see Mexico's Plaza Monumental, where they have bull fights. The beach
was cool and windy.
Travel Info - There is no RV parking at Imperial
Beach. Imperial Beach is 20 miles south of downtown San Diego and a few miles
short of the Mexican border. South on I-5 from San Diego and exit west on Palm
Avenue / Highway 75. Imperial Beach follows Seacoast Drive, starting a couple
blocks north of Palm Avenue and continuing south. Map location for Imperial
Beach.
