Bayside Park - Chess Tables


 Location: 999 Bayside Pkwy, Chula Vista, CA 91910


Hours: 6:00 a.m. – 10:30 p.m.

Bayside Park features a fishing pier perfect for a lazy afternoon, surrounded by marinas and restaurants. The park also provides an inspiring view of the San Diego-Coronado Bay Bridge and the San Diego urban skyline. Amenities include wide shared walkway and bike path that is part of the 24 mile long Bayshore bikeway, a playground for children, volleyball court and seating  along the shoreline.

Bayside Park - Wind Oars 2004
Bayside Park and Gaylord Property


Walking north along the Bayview Bike Path you come across a series tall poles. Looking at older images of the area it seems to be a kinetic art installation from 2004 by artist George Peters and Melanie Walker. Atop of each pole should be a wind vane like structure but those have been removed. Unknown if the sculpture "Wind Oars" will be reassembled or removed after construction of the Gaylord Property scene in the background.

Imperial Beach Sun and Fun Festival 2024

 

Sun & Sea Festival 2024 

On Saturday August 17, 2024 the Sun & Sea Festival returned to Imperial Beach after a few year absence. 
Next to Pier Plaza volunteers constructed the largest sand castle on Imperial Beach. Over 80 cubic yards of sand was trucked in for the festival. Over 2 days volunteers used shovels and hand tools to remove and sculpt the sand into a retro themed 80s "Back 2IB" sand castle.
