Imperial Beach, CA, known locally as "IB," is a coastal city with a laid-back surf culture and a strong sense of community. Spanning 4.4 square miles, it sits between Coronado to the north and a large estuarine reserve to the south. The city has undergone significant revitalization since the late 1990s, with public art installations like the Spirit of Imperial Beach sculpture and Surfhenge at the IB Pier contributing to its new image as an arts destination. Crime rates have dropped by over 60%, making it safer than the national average. The city faced a major challenge in 2024 with a sewage spill from Mexico, prompting a $400 million overhaul of the South Bay International Wastewater Treatment Plant. Despite this, IB offers ample recreation with seven city parks, the Imperial Beach Pier, Portwood Pier Plaza, and the Imperial Beach Skatepark. The Tijuana River National Estuary provides a 5-mile trail for birdwatching. Dining options include Mike Hess Brewing, El Tapatio, Siam Imperial, and Brigantine. The Sweetwater Union High School District serves grades seven through 12 and is highly rated. Transportation is convenient with Route 75 connecting to Interstate 5, and the Bayshore Bikeway offering a 26-mile safe route for cyclists. Major employers include Imperial Beach Technology Corp., Pier South Resort, and Sharp Healthcare. Annual events like the Sun & Sea Festival and holiday celebrations at Portwood Pier Plaza add to the city's vibrant community life.
