The Silver Strand is an isthmus 8 miles long, in San Diego County, California, connecting Coronado "Island" with Imperial Beach. Families and campers enjoy this beach. The relatively remote Silver Strand, where the Navy SEALS train, offers tons of recreational activities including camping, surfing, swimming, body boarding, jet skiing, sailing, and water skiing, as well as fishing and beach volleyball. Also, bicyclists, joggers, walkers, and skaters have 10 miles of bike path at their disposal extending from the strand back to Coronado. The ocean side of the strand features 2.5 miles of coastline trimmed with silver shells (thus the name “Silver Strand”). The bay side, which can be reached via three underground pedestrian tunnels from the ocean side, has a nature preserve and is popular for sailing and swimming because the water is warmer and smoother.
