  • This offers a secret walking trail on the water. The salt beds offer a myriad of colors depending on the time of day. Watch out for cyclists.

  • Such a rad place for photography. Between the reflection pools and all the white salt everywhere. It really makes for great photos. I highly recommend you checking it out. Now you can't go inside as it is protected land for the Tern Birds. But even from the outside it has a really amazing view! Go check it out for yourself. You won't be disappointed.
  • Will be on my August 2021 #7footApartHikes SD Day Hikers @MeetUp Events: Salt and Sea IB! Imperial Beach Bike & Walking path! Parking near there!
  • I have absolutely no idea what they do here except the fact that there’s a ton of salt that makes some great views during sunrise and sunset. My kids get a kick out of seeing such a large pile of white stuff! In looking at the reviews someone suggested Wikipedia to check out its history. If you’re ever in the area, “Steve Says” you want to check this out at least once. Heck, I may even called to see if they offer tours.
  • Neat to see. Watched the salt go up conveyer belts to stack the salt. No trespassing here. Good walking path and views a bit farther south at the bike path.
  • this is a really neat place to see. they harvest sea salt here. lots of it. you can see it from the road. best spot to see it is from the far west end of main street in chula vista.
