Mexicos Baja California

It's easy to be confused when you first hear the term Baja. Surely Baja just means under? As a result, Mexico comes under the jurisdiction of California. Yes, Baja California is the name of the entire state below California in Mexico. Its northern part is occupied by the state of Baja California, and her southern part is occupied by the state of Baja California Sur.

 

As well as being neighbored by the Pacific Ocean to the west, Mexico is also bordered by the Gulf of California to the east. Both tourists and locals from both Mexico and the United States flock to Ensenada's port and the nearby wine country in Valle de Guadalupe.

 

You may be most familiar with Cabo San Lucas, located at the southernmost tip of the peninsula. We are focusing on the northernmost city in Baja California today, Tijuana. Among Southern California residents, this resort is equally well-known as Cabo.

 

We recommend checking out things like the best wineries in Valle de Guadalupe, which can be done by a private tour or on an individual basis from San Diego.

 

Visiting Tijuana

Tijuana is a place where you can enjoy Mexican cuisine, beaches, and Mexican culture. Enjoy Mexican food, Tijuana tours, craft beer, and easy access to downtown San Diego via the San Ysidro trolley station on your Tijuana trip. Having street tacos and shopping with market vendors before visiting a San Diego museum or grabbing a drink and hitting the beach can be refreshing. The possibilities are endless in Tijuana, so you can really have the day of your life.

 

Beaches

Beach in Tijuana

 

Although Tijuana is known for its food and nightlife, it offers much more than that. Located in close proximity to the city center, the beaches of Tijuana are known for their beauty. Tijuana's main beach is called Playas de Tijuana. There are plenty of surfers who come to Baja Malibu in search of waves right below the main beach. However, its sandy area can get crowded on weekends, so be sure to arrive early.

 

A 20-minute drive from the city is Playas de Rosarito, while a 45-minute drive will take you to the beaches near La Fonda. Tijuana itself offers great beaches if you're just looking for a day trip from San Diego. You can enjoy a fantastic beach day without having to travel too far away from the city center due to the proximity of the water.

 

About the San Ysidro Border

World's busiest international border crossing by land is found at San Ysidro Port of Entry. If we consider individual crossings and vehicles from the U.S. to Mexico, and vice versa, this makes sense.

 

Both sides of the border commute daily or weekly between their home and work, family, and other places. Over 90000 commuters cross the border between San Diego and Tijuana each day since the entry point opened in 1970. In addition to the 106 million crossings per year at San Ysidro, there are 48 million vehicles crossing as well.

 

It is similar to how LA locals from downtown may go to Glendale daily for work or to visit family. A border is just across the street from Tijuana.

 

Otay Mesa Border Crossing

There is little traffic at Otay Mesa, so it is a much faster border crossing; however, it is less convenient for those looking to pass from central San Diego to central Tijuana.

 

From the Tijuana side, it is much more difficult to reach the crossing point via I-5 or I-805. Leaving Tijuana via the San Ysidro Port of Entry will be easier.
