Continued work on the Bayshore Bikeway means continued new paths to explore.
The big picture: South of Chula Vista there are wide flat paths that connect to the Silver Strand, perfect for walking, running and biking.
Catch up quick: The regional planning agency SANDAG is continuing to expand the 24-mile Bayshore Bikeway loop, which runs through Coronado, the Silver Strand, Imperial Beach, National City and Chula Vista.
- There are a few small sections not yet finished. When that work is done, there will be a fully protected bike loop around the bay.
Zoom in: For now, try exploring the southern sections of the trail that connect to Silver Strand.
- Start at Egger Highlands in Imperial Beach and go west toward the ocean.
- If you want a long run or ride, continue north on the Silver Stand bike path.
- Take in cool ocean breezes and beautiful views of the bay along the way.
- See if you can spot the resident flamingos. No one is quite sure how they got there.
Between the lines: The flat bike paths are good for strollers, and dogs are allowed.
- Do a few miles or 24 miles around the whole loop.
- Parking is free in a small lot on Main Street in Chula Vista or you can find street parking.
