Silver Strand State Beach on Coronado Island stretches across the narrow isthmus at 5000 CA-75 in 92118, dividing 2.5 miles of Pacific Ocean surf from a half-mile of protected San Diego Bay shoreline. The Bayshore Bikeway runs the full length of the strand and connects north to the Orange Avenue Village core, where riders stock gear at Coronado Bike & Surf before pedaling the dedicated path south. The Spreckels family donated the land in 1931 to California State Parks, making Silver Strand one of the oldest state beach designations in San Diego County. Four parking lots accommodate roughly 1,000 vehicles, and approximately 130 first-come campsites along the ocean side rank among the few beachfront RV camping options in Southern California. The bay side faces the same sheltered waterway that fronts Loews Coronado Bay Resort on Coronado Bay Road, providing paddleboarders and kayakers a flat-water launch point opposite the open-ocean break. Anglers target perch, corbina, and yellowfin croaker from the Silver Strand surf line, while seasonal grunion runs draw permitted hand-capture crowds during peak spring spawning tides.
