Things to do while in Imperial Beach tend to generally appeal to the visitor who loves the ocean and who truly want's to relax. This is a slow paced surfing community. Of course the beach is the big draw and there are a few unrelated things to do. Mostly it is on or at the beach or in the ocean that one finds activity. There is the Tijuana Esturary for those interested in wildlife refuge/marsh preservation. There is the Tijuana River Valley Regional Park, for hiking./horseback riding. Along the west end of Palm Avenue and all down Seacoast Drive are free standing art sculptuers relating to surfing and the ocean. Also there is an indoor and outdoor surf museum depicting the history of surfing and how the big waves in Imperial Beach have impacted surfboard design.
