U.S.-Mexico Pacific Ocean border
Location: Tijuana, Mexico
When to visit: Anytime
Cost: Free
Time needed to enjoy: 10 minutes
If you have occasion to visit Tijuana, Mexico, you’ll probably spend some time checking out the nightlife and maybe some of the art and cultural centers. (Hopefully you won’t get lost.)
Tijuana isn’t known for its beach, but if you do make the trip there, you can see the very spot where the United States meets Mexico. It’s funny to see the fence actually extending into the Pacific Ocean.
One note – you can’t approach this border fence from the U.S. side – that part of California is desolate and mountainous. And there are fences around the property, so I’m not sure it would even be legal to try to reach the fence from the U.S. side.
Instead, you have to go to Tijuana, where you can pretend to be locked out of the country.
That just looks weird… but I have to admit, you made me laugh at “Time needed to enjoy: 10 minutes”, haha.
Thanks for sharing this š
Too funny. Did you try swimming into the US from Mexico?
Nope, I’m sure they have people watching!
I went to TJ ate at a restaurant in Playaz i walked to the fence lol i am American, they do have people watching and helicopters! thats lame to have a border in the ocean :/
Sometimes you come across borders and you wonder why they bothered to put them there in the first place. Especially this one, when its really low tide you just walk into the country.
What a funny, but ineffective border. Definitely worth visiting though if you happen to be there.
I agree!
Certainly a landmark.
That makes me sad.
