Imperial Beach is 13 miles south of San Diego but only about 7 miles from the border.

This is Surfhenge, and it is a direct tell-all of the surfer nature of Imperial Beach (IB to locals). Of all the places to go surfing in San Diego, this arguably takes the top spot.

This particular pier is not on an ocean, but it is across the bay from San Diego. At the pier is a marketplace with shopping (you will even find a seashell shop!), galleries, and eateries ranging from the casual to the high-end. You can rent a bike or walk, but either way the palm tree and rock-wall lined path next to the bay will offer you views of the city and the sailboats that constantly graze the water.
