IMPERIAL BEACH – Imperial Beach has been named the second best place in the country to build a sandcastle and one of the nation's “Death Beaches.”
These vastly different views of the most southwesterly city in the continental United States were published within a month of each other.
Coastal Living magazine, in its August issue, advises readers to “see the winning, ephemeral works of art before they wash away” but Forbes magazine warns that “these waters, and their bacteria, can literally make you sick.”
Forbes highlighted Imperial Beach in an article in its July “Death Beaches” issue, citing the poor water quality.
