Quick ride by bicycle from Imperial Beach to Coronado

Set off from the southern charm of Imperial Beach, known for its laid-back vibe and scenic coastline—it's the most southwesterly city in the continental U.S.! This delightful ride takes you north along the Silver Strand, a stunning stretch of dedicated cycleway that skirts San Diego Bay on one side and the Pacific on the other. It's mostly smooth asphalt, perfect for a leisurely cruise or picking up a little speed.

With barely any hills, you'll glide past beach views and maybe catch sight of seabirds or even dolphins. About 14.5 km later, you’ll roll into picturesque Coronado, home to the famous Hotel del Coronado and beautiful sandy beaches. Coronado oozes island charm and is great for a post-ride coffee or bite. This is a classic, mostly car-free ride that showcases some of the best coastal scenery in SoCal—perfect for a mellow outing with friends or family!
