Where California meets Mexico and the Pacific Ocean, this unique park occupies the westernmost corner of the continental United States. The beach extends to the international border fence, which runs into the ocean. The Tijuana River Estuary provides critical wetland habitat for migratory birds - over 370 species recorded. Equestrian trails wind through coastal dunes and salt marsh. Monument Mesa offers panoramic views across the border to Tijuana. The park is part of a larger international ecosystem. Weekend Friendship Circle gatherings allow families separated by the border to meet through the fence.
