What visitors say

• Miguel Jaime★★★★★

  Quiet, peaceful, serene. I went to visit the Pier after work because I heard it was close. The sun was already starting to say, and the views were spectacular. Walked to the end and had a nice dinner while watching the sun go down over the waves. It was the perfect way to end a busy work day.

  As the author of The Grant Colson Thriller Series and SERA Archives Thriller Series, I’ve spent a lot of time around Imperial Beach Pier dreaming up thriller scenes for my books, and it’s the main centerpiece of Imperial Beach. Stretching out roughly 1,400 feet into the Pacific, the pier is visible from miles away and defines the shoreline here. It’s a major attraction for both locals and visitors. I used to fish here regularly and even spent nights out on the pier when I was in high school, and it’s exactly the kind of place that could anchor high-tension moments in one of my thriller book novels, with open water on one side and a long, exposed structure stretching into the dark. There are usually lots of people fishing along the pier, which gives it a lively, authentic feel. It’s a great spot whether you’re casting a line yourself or just walking out and taking in the ocean views. At the end of the pier, you’ll find Imperial Beach Kitchen, a unique Korean-influenced spot that adds a fun and unexpected twist to the whole visit. I’ve also spent a lot of time out here simply walking the beach and thinking through ideas while writing The Maui Desire Romance Series. I’ve drawn a lot of inspiration from this location, from the beach and the people to the long stretches of sand between the pier and the rock jetties to the north. Overall it’s a classic Southern California pier with a laid-back vibe, great fishing, and a lot of history for anyone who’s been coming here over the years.
