Silver Strand (San Diego)
- Silver Strand (San Diego)
The Silver Strand is an isthmus 7 miles long, in San Diego County, California, connecting Coronado "Island" with Imperial Beach. Silver Strand State Beach, which encompasses both the San Diego Bay and Pacific Ocean sides of the strand, is a little farther off the beaten path of the highly popular beaches in Ocean and Mission Beach, offering more solitude for those who wish to get away from the beach crowds. The ocean side of the strand features 2.5 miles of coastline trimmed with silver shells (thus named Silver Strand).
Beach
The Silver Strand State Beach is just 4.5 miles south of Coronado on California State Route 75. The beach offers many activities including camping, surfing, swimming, body boarding, jet skiing, sailing, and water skiing, as well as fishing and beach volleyball.

Park facilities include four large parking lots, which can accommodate up to 1,000 vehicles.
Military
The beaches north and south of it is military property. North of the beach is Naval Amphibious Base Coronado and south of it is Silver Strand Training Complex. Much of the SEAL's training take place on the beaches.
