About Imperial Beach
Imperial Beach is a small, independent beach city of about 26,000 people at the very southern end of San Diego County, bordered by Coronado to the north and the Tijuana River Estuary to the south. It has a relaxed surf-town character with the Imperial Beach Pier as its centerpiece. Palm Avenue is the main commercial strip, and Seacoast Drive runs along the waterfront. IB has maintained an affordable, unpretentious vibe even as surrounding areas have developed.
