For those that don't know, "muro fronterizo" means border wall in Spanish…read more
In all the years I've been partying in Baja California, this was actually the first time that I've been to the beach, on the Mexican side of the border. It was great seeing it from this side, as I've been to the same beach on the US side many times.
The beach sand stretches for about 100 meters. The area was peaceful and not crowded, which was probably due to the pandemic restrictions. In fact, when we got to the area, the municipal police told us that the beach area immediately next to the border wall was closed to the public.
The boardwalk starts a short distance from the border wall, and south of there, many shops and restaurants. There is a bull fighting ring nearby, and tons of artwork on and around the border wall.
Parking is found along the border wall, or in a pay lot. You can also find parking along the street running parallel to all the shops and restaurants, but depending on the day and time, you might have trouble finding a spot.
Overall, this place is chill. I got no bad vibes here, and people were very friendly. The only thing that stood out during our time here is that we got to witness some guy crossing the border illegally. He did it in plain sight, in broad daylight, and he got immediately arrested by the border patrol agents that usually sit nearby this place. There were tons of people taking photos and videos of the incident. So if the video I uploaded to Yelp doesn't satisfy you, keep an eye out on IG and FB.
But on a lighter note, this is a pretty cool spot to check out. If you find yourself in Tijuana, make time to come here and hang out in Playas de Tijuana while you're at it.
