Silver Strand State Beach

Silver Strand State Beach is made up of beaches lining both the Pacific Ocean and San Diego Bay. The beaches are connected by pedestrian tunnels under the busy street. Popular activities include camping, swimming, surfing, boating, water-skiing, volleyball, and picnicking. There's also a cafe that's open during the summer which offers equipment rentals, firewood (there are fire rings) other essentials. Bathrooms are available for day-use guests. Because there's a natural preserve a mile or so south of where Silver Strand State Beach ends, unique sea shells can sometimes be found here.
