Playas de Tijuana

Playas de Tijuana is a coastal zone stretching along the Pacific Ocean from the United States border toward Rosarito and containing a mix of residential areas and commercial spaces. The district includes multiple neighborhoods that create a diverse waterfront with both housing and business activity.

This coastal area grew as an urban zone starting in the mid-20th century when residential neighborhoods like Soler and Costa Azul were founded. The district received its current name as it became a recognized beach destination, marking a shift toward its role as a waterfront community.

The local culture center teaches dance, painting, and drawing to neighbors who gather there regularly. People from the area use these classes as a way to stay connected and express themselves creatively.

The beach offers good conditions for water sports like surfing, bodyboarding, and kayaking when the ocean conditions are right. Check local water quality and weather before heading out to make sure conditions suit what you want to do.

The border barrier between Mexico and the United States extends directly into the ocean at the northern end of the beach. This makes it one of the few places in the world where you can see an international boundary line actually meeting the sea.
