Silver Strand Coronado San Diego California
The Silver Strand is a narrow stretch of land between Coronado and Imperial Beach in San Diego. It
connects Coronado to the mainland of San Diego and was used before the Coronado Bridge was built which now takes on the majority of traffic to and from Coronado. There is a great beach there called Silver Strand State Beach with miles of white
sand and crashing waves. The sand at Silver Strand State Beach has gold flakes in it and sparkles when the wave's crash and churn up the sand. It's incredibly beautiful.
We decided with some friends to go to the Silver Strand SB Campsites and spend the weekend. We couldn‘t have picked a nicer weekend. Temperatures were in the 90's which for April in San Diego is hotter than normal. We went with two other families, close friends, and reserved spots next to each other right on the beach. The fun began as soon as we got there. This is one of the finest campsites in all of California - on the beach in Coronado with miles of mostly quiet San Diego Beaches.
The weekend consisted of relaxing, eating, laughing, swimming, fishing, walks on the beach, sand dollar hunting, sun bathing, naps in the sun, smores, camp fire talks and scary stories, charades, and so much more. It was so much fun we made reservations and are going back in 2 weeks. We went to MooTime in Downtown Coronado and got some great ice cream. We fished and caught Surf Perch and Halibut but no Corbina yet. We went on a sand dollar hunt and found over 300 sand dollars. The beaches for day beach goers were packed and the sail surfers were out in force. There is an $8 fee to day park at the beach. It was a weekend we'll never forget. We work hard and play hard too. It balances out nicely. Because we are in San Diego we can also take care of emergencies that come up in the real estate world if need be.
If you get a chance visit the Silver Strand State Beach and if you're a camper with an RV or Trailer make some reservations and stay a while. You'll love it.
