[@vss7253]

I’m so glad I decided to watch this video before visiting imperial beach. Really helpful, thank you!!

[@thetwentysomethingtraveler2526]

Vedil have you been?? Ooh you should show us El Cajon in a video!!

[@vss7253]

Always welcome, Just lmk so I can take care of y’all!

[@Jaycation]

Thanks for the love! I hope you enjoyed your day in IB!

[@jermccann7425]

Imperial Beach is one of the few beaches that never have crowds. You can see the beach, walk on the sand, and smell the ocean. Just don’t plan on swimming. And wash your feet 🦶 after walking on the sand..😮😊

[@fozzir]

The beach is closed 300 days a year due to the raw sewage flowing from the Tijuana river a quarter mile down. On some days the smell is so bad you can't be outside without feeling sick. Nothwistanding those issue, IB is great!

[@obijuankenobi6565]

I moved to Imperial to start a tech job. Ended up joining a gang and got a face tattoo.

Never even heard of Imperial Beach.. i've been looking for NEW Things to do when I visit San Diego again.. Thanks :)

When I grow up, i want to be just like Jonathon Barrio! haha

[@jackstewart1421]

yall are OG's for putting rallys in the clip

[@Jaycation]

You know whats up Jack! I love those Rallys Fries.

[@PeteMcCorvey]

My 1st and 3rd duty station in the Navy was in San Diego. I used to go there all the time. Like the young lady said not crowded or too many tourists. Very relaxing

[@horatiodreamt]

When I was a kid in the mid-1960s, my family moved to IB. We lived half a block away from the beach. The big estuary could be seen from our backyard. But the town itself was a sleepy, beat up old beach town.

[@Jaycation]

Wow it must of been way different back in the 60s. It's still a sleepy beach town but it looks like theyve made improvements and more people have started to come down to visit over the past couple years. Do you still live in San Diego?

[@horatiodreamt]

@@Jaycation No. My family moved to the Midwest for job reasons. I haven't been back IB since then.

[@andria9746]

@@horatiodreamt you should definitely check it out now. Totally different still very very chill a lot slower but so many improvements and fun! 🎈🍾

[@TheFineagler]

As a local, I can tell you IB was much different in prior decades. It was basically just a navy town with a fully operational base in the 60s. Going into the 70's and 80's meth and biker gangs/skinheads became an issue. The 90s saw a lot of gang violence. The town began to become more gentrified in the 2000s but was still socioeconomiclly depressed. For a long time people avoided this city, but that kind of played in our favor in the redevelopment of the city which still provides that small town feel, where those homes from the 60s are now selling for $1 million.

"Steel Beach Beer". Wow- reminds me of when I was on the USS Independence in '93. It was called, "Steel Beach Picnic", but it was on the Arabian Sea at 110 degrees outside. The next day, the line to medical stretched to the fantail (half of the ship).

[@RonTamondong]
