The Silver Strand
Map: Silver Strand Activity Hubs, Beaches & Attractions
Located in San Diego, The Silver Strand is a narrow strand of land 8 miles long, which acts as a land bridge between Coronado "Island" and Imperial Beach. The Silver Strand has the San Diego Bay on one side and the Pacific Ocean on the other. Although the strand is narrow, the ocean side is very different from the bay side.
Much of the The Silver Strand's beach side is undeveloped. Silver Strand State Beach and Campground are roughly in the middle of The Silver Strand. The bay side is more developed, with Coronado Cays, marinas, residential areas, a major resort, and the US Naval Amphibiuos Base. Also on the bay side is a paved bike path, which runs the length of Silver Strand.
