Definitely worth the time to check this place out. If you go during the week you can take a long beautiful walk from the main parking lot to the border fence at the beach. Very quit, and secluded. The beach is beautiful and the area is surprisingly very clean. Lots of Border Patrol agents, who are all very nice. You can also rent horses and ride along the sandy beach. Cool place to explore, and the new wall system separating the United States and Mexico is impressive.

A beautiful, if not super duper hot, walk. Right next to the border fence, Tijuana, Mexico is in view. If you’re in San Diego, it’s worth a short trip down. Just don’t touch the border fence! It’s under constant patrol.

This place is such an amazing place to explore. The beach is clean and really quite secluded. If you go on the weekend you can drive up to Friendship Park or if youre hauling horses you can station right there at the horse corrals that are near the beach.

Pictures from both sides of the MEX/USA border at the borderfield state park. Both sides are fun.

Great place to see the border and a quiet beach without many tourists. They have horses there and you can go on horse back tours of the area which is quite unique.

There is really not too much to this state park but I liked it. First time seeing the mexican border was something different to see. There is some dolphins every now and then, not too close to the shore. I found the park to be a little bit small for my liking specially since you are paying 7 dollars if you drive. Beach is quieter than the other side of imperial beach, the other side of the mexican border might not be.

Long but fun walk. Nice beach. Fun crowd. Interesting feeling being by the border. Same beach different country. Folks on the other side wave to you.

Definitely worth our time to get a visual of the fence bordering Mexico. Unfortunately as we approached, hoping to shake hands with those at the fence from the southern side, US Border Patrol signaled to us to back away.

Beautiful area. Well maintained. We did find some trash, but picked it up and threw it away in onsite receptacles.

Very interesting learned things from border patrol officers, saw the wall, ocean views etc

Park here to walk to the border fence thats goes into the water, 6 rows of razor wire & a closed friendship park. Used to be nicer many years ago but most left overgrown n uninviting. Still see heaps of wet clothes in this area from folks who have crossed via ocean. They change into dry clothes n then move north into the system unseen.

Quite a touristic place. The trails South to the parking lot are prohibited unless you dont mind a little excitement like me. Border Patrol will stop you all of the time but gently ask you to keep moving because of motorcycle activity and patrolling. The 2 mile walk to the park is a must to enjoy the full experience. Like always when walking trails take some food and water and enjoy your stepping.

Loved the hike! Nice view of TJ from a distance, Plaza de Toros is right up the border and it looks gorgeous.

Great place for a walk ... or a peaceful march to the border in support of migrants!

This places is opened for foot traffic all week! But of you want to drive to the park, there is a small fee to bring your car and you can only do so on Friday-Sunday. The walk is not bad, maybe a mile and a half each way. Once we got there... just seeing the wall was impressive. The scenery of the beach was something else. The park is well maintained and bathrooms were clean. Next time I’d go on the weekend when cars are allowed to pass.

One of the few places in the west coast to catch a-frames, solo. It’s a cold water break, and wind can shut it down quick. Get there early. Worth it. State park is usually closed, ( floods, mud, quail crossing, u name it), but worth the hike. Can access by walking south of sea coast, ib, but along the journey u may find the sloughs. Which is a deep water break and can tower.

Wonderful place. Just know you will have to walk in a mile or so one way. Not the place to go if you dont like Border Patrol agents.

One of the most underrated beaches in SoCali. Maybe its due to the depressing wall that separates Cali & Mexico. Maybe its due to people feeling uncomfortable being watched by USA military helicopters roaming the sky to spot illegal citizens. In spite of the odds, if you look past those i guarantee that youll enjoy the beach at this park. its very beautiful and pretty empty. Perfect place to get away from humanity to clear your thoughts. The houses and buildings across the broder looks nice. The wall becomes see thru as it touches the sandy beach where you can see peaceful mexicans having a good time. On the American, there are only a handful of people. I went on a Wednesday and there was nobody on the american side of the border. Through the odds, the beach is beautiful. If you come with a clear mind not thinking political, youll enjoy it.

Wildlife and flowers aplenty on the 5 mile roundtrip hike from the parking area to border marker 258, originally #1. Its a shame the park has fallen into disarray. This is where mexico, the US and Pacific Ocean all meet. Its ironic, how the ocean gets to live in both countries.

We started our #bordertobordertour here. It was interesting to see the border fence. The roads down were pretty rough and we couldnt drive most of the way down because it was gated off

Beautiful place with an ugly fence in the way.

Great hike, Beautiful view of the ocean. Was Honored to see our Awesome Boarder Patrol personnel stop 2 people from entering the Great Country Illegally. Thank you Boarder Patrol

Sad to see how the powerful wanna build walls and cage people. A big shame.

Its look like a Wild beach, very silent end lonely place! I love it!

Not easy Access walk but its one meeting point necessary

Strange and magical place I never knew existed. Ill gladly put on my tin foil hay and say I think the government keeps americans away in order to further an agenda.The US side has a dying over grown park with decaying tables and no access.The Mexican side was a party, hotels ....and the smell of churros I couldnt have...

Walk to the fence is on the longer side, but affords amazing views, albeit with helicopters patrolling overhead. Very interesting to see the contrast between the American and Mexican sides. This side was an empty, natural beach with the occasional horseback rider, with border patrol parked near the fence to ensure no one get too close. Tijuana was a colorful, lively beach town

Looks really interesting but I couldnt actually get there due to excessive flooding. Thing is - I was actually a mile into the thing when I was forced to turn back, and the walk really conveys that I feel like that helicopters gonna mow me down vibe.

If you come bring enough water for you it is hot and be careful for snakes. Dogs/pets are not allowed so just keep them at home . Maybe service animals could come but don’t mark my words I am not sure and I do not know. But you could also ride a horse for a fee for 30 to 60 min only of the only shorelines/ beach that could have horses on the California beach Pacific Ocean shorelines. By they way the Border patrol agents are everywhere so keep this in mind. I would just make sure you bring you passport or green card with you Incase you are apprehend by one of the agents at the border park preserve.

Interesting view of the double border. Place for folks to meet through the border fence.

Short but great hike you can do in an hour or two.

This is an authentic San Diego adventure. Make the one-mile trek each way to the beach. The border wall is austere and the scenery is peaceful.

What an amazing walk. Very peaceful first thing in the morning. Boarder Patrol Agents were very nice and spoke to us. Definitely worth the trip. Beach is calm and peaceful

I never got to see the beach. I came here years ago and you could drive up to the beach but now it is a very long walk and I just couldnt walk that far. I did not feel safe since helicopters were flying over. Not sure why but I couldnt get out of there fast enough!

Quite hidden away from the rest of the city. Not well kept but still provides some very nice views of the beach and estuary. There were only a couple people beside me, which makes for a rare southern California beach experience.

I ride my bike regularly to Border Field State Park from my house in Imperial Beach. The road to Friendship Circle, within the Park has been open for a few weeks now, but is closed until it dries out each spring. Access is open prior to that but getting to Friendship Circle is impossible except on foot or horseback via the beach. So you might as well consider Friendship Park Closed, except in summer.

We had to walk about a mile to get to the beach. This park is right on the border with Mexico. You can see part of the wall built to keep people from crossing over. There is a friendship garden with a lighthouse on the Mexican side that US people can access between 10-2:00 and there is a number to call. I do not have the number to include. The most southwest point is noted with a small sign on the mesa near the border. The beach is lovely.

Beautiful lil park

Glad to see the wall up! The USA cant take in the world!

Well worth my time.

This is a beautiful place to visit. Park at the trail head, after driving past several horse farms. There are also horse trips you can take. Then walk about 1.5 miles through the preserved fields and estuary. Hit the beach turn left and head towards the border fence. Be aware CBP wont let you within 50 feet of actual fence.

Very humbling to see this area. The Tijuana side is vibrant and full of life. The American side is empty.

Just had to go to see the Great Big Beautiful Wall while in California. Found the entrance to Border Field State Park and was given helpful comments on where to find the beach where the wall enters the ocean. I parked in the car park at the International Friendship Park and walked to the top of the dune system overlooking the ocean. Had a friendly chat with a Border Force Officer who commented on various ways, illegal migrants and refugees use to enter the USA including jet-skis by travelling several miles out to sea beyond the range of their night vision goggles and binoculars. He also pointed out why it was too dangerous to attempt to swim around the ocean wall extension due to rips and eddies that often drowned people attempting to swim to the USA.

Very clear facilities and an interesting place to view the Wall and gaze upon the coast line to the north..

Nice place to pain and get some sun

It takes 25 minutes to walk by US/Mexico border. And it is coolest thing ever to see.

Border Patrol we chatted with was very friendly and talked to us about his job. The park itself is not bad but not well maintained. It was interesting to observe families talking to each other and spending time together with a fence in between them, across the border.

Absolutely gorgeous. It was a beautiful day to spend the morning on horse back at the beach. The water was amazing. So lucky to be living is San diego... Americas finest city

Very nice to visit this place! Came here for my sons school project and discovered a nice peaceful picnic area with awwsome views. Entrance is $7 per car

If you love horseback riding this is the place to be. There is only one bathroom in the whole park, so avoid drinking water while hiking. Manures are all over the place.

While most will say it’s too dangerous to travel here I say their crazy. I’ve been coming here to this beach for 10 years now. I’ve never had one issue. Good food, people, at an affordable price. Now with AirBnb you can stay right on the beach for a fraction of what you would pay in San Diego. Get a passport and get going!

Closed off. No access to the beach. Met the boarder patrol though.

Sat n sun emotional visit as they open the wall so family can visit, relaxing environment

One or my favorite places to hike and take the dogs. Walking along the border of Mexico and getting a glimpse into it is always nice. Dont ago after rains. Unfortunately their sewage is drained into the US, creating a toxic environment. You can avoid this by going through the beach access trail. Pack a lunch and take in the beauty at Friendship Park.

Not much things to do. Just a super secluded beach

This is a beautiful park that is well maintained and preserved. Theres plenty to see from views of the ocean, to bird watching, to looking at the greenery and more. This place can also be romantic during the sunset and has no waste laying around in the cracks and crevices. This park is exactly how uninhabited land should look, gorgeous.

Cool trip to the border that isnt advertised anywhere in California. Stay away from the fence though.

Beautiful secluded park with impressive beach front border with mexico

When you look south you can see America ‘sfuture

Life-changing experience! Not the beach itself, but the symbolism that little corner of the world possessed.

About a one mile walk from the parking to the cost as then South along the beach to the border wall. You can walk up to the fence and the CBP officers will answer your questions if they have time.

Must park outside the gate right now. Walk is about 2 miles each way to fence. Walk is pretty flat. Can drive closer in summer.

Not many come visit this place, I have not been there with more than a few other visitors. Nice area and beach, very quiet place if you look for peace in mind and a good view.

We visited the Friendship Circle where you can talk to mexicans through a fence. A very knowledeable border control officer gave us lots of information about the history and their roles today. It is very impressive to see the wall in real life and it is well worth the drive from San Diego to the park, entry fee is 5$.

Although the roads were closed we walked down to the ocean which was about 3/4 of a mile than another 1/4 on the sand to get to the border wall. The closer we got to Mexico the dirtier and smellier if became but overall was still worth the effort people of poor health probably would not want to make this treck if they open the road again its still would be a challenge for those of poor health. We did see a lot of horses which was nice and for those riders that stayed off of The walking path I thank you because there was quite a bit of horse feces on the people walking path which again made this an unpleasant situation do to odor and the avoidance of the horse feces

This place is amazing to see how we divided continents

Practically feels like a historical site to see how the border fence marches into the ocean. Neat to see yourself in person.

Nice park on the border. Long walk to the beach in winter

Love being able to say I was Abel to touch the very edge of the United States of America

Beautiful restored wetlands, ocean view, horse riding on beach, large picnic area, interesting to see the border fence. Weekday completely empty. Had park and view to ourselves. One lone border patrol vehicle and agent keeping watchful eye.

Spring time bloom was just starting and looked great. Just be careful of the bees most r Africanized and a little aggressive.

Before the caravan, this place was very peaceful and beautiful. There was little CBP presence in the area.

Its a little sad place its empty another site of the Border you see a lot of people so my opinion better go to the Playa Tijuana by the way you can go all the way down by the car you must walk almost to miles

See the border up close and touch the wall with permission of Patrollers. Scenic views of Pacific Ocean and TIJUANA bullring

Some trails were full of mud and horse manure but otherwise very pleasant and good for a light walk.

The trail is not that long to get to, but it is a peculiar scene once you get to the park.The Mexican side is crowded with people and shops and buildings while the American side is empy and rural, its like traveling back in time and seeing how the beach once looked before the city grew

It is a very nice place a lot of restaurants good food but sad for emigration

Every time I go to the border at the beach. It just makes me think a lot. We share the same sky. Dont we? We are all humans under the same sky. I believe we can all live in peace. No more borders.

Beautiful natural preserve.We went on a guided horseback riding tour right to the water.Views of San Diego and Tijuana are visible from different parts of the trail.Laid back atmosphere!Loved it!!!

Very peaceful and quiet walk from the parking lot, up over the little hill down to the beach. Went on a Sunday and learned thats when the huge gate is opened for a short while, enabling folks on the US side to get to the other fence that is barring the Mexican side. Saw families placing their hands on the fence as if to touch their loved ones on the other side while talking to them. Very touching.

Amazing when u been in the borders between tow beautiful countrysI hope one day there is no boarders between anything and we all live together just for humanity the park not that much the road narrow you pay 5$ only for the parkingThe parking close at 7 pm the guards there so amazing and helpful anyway you should vist it guys its worthy just to see the borders on the ocean Great and so suspension

Great murals,fun time at the beach,AWSOME stories being told by those murals!!

Loaded with a heavy police presence. No freedom on the US Side. Do yourself a favor and go to Playas de Tijuana instead.

Its. Amazing yet sad experience. How many people every single day try to cross over the border. This park is right has where people can see their families on weekends from the other side of Mexico thru a gate.

Terrific place, if not a little intimidating.

Quite a detour from the usual. The trails are well marked, although on the North side can become inundated with rain runoff. The views are incredible and the big plus is that there is always so few people, its a perfect place to just meditate or spend some quiet time by the beach, Well worth the visit. The park closes at sunset, so be sure to have plenty of time for the 20-30 minute hike back to the main entrance as you cannot take your car into the mark.

Beautiful Park. No longer able to drive to the park. It is quite a hike into the park to the beach.

A great walk if u love walks and a must see !!!!

Rode a cool horse named Hildalgo to the beach. Fantastic time!!!

I was there very early, it was a bit scary not knowing what I was getting into. The stories you hear.. A lot of areas were flooded so had to figure that out. It was so symbolic to feel that fence and see the humans on other side we separate from our lifes because of years of other peoples ruling.

This is a hidden gem. Of all the parks Ive visited this seemed like the least visited which is a shame. The park is the most south western point of the US with great views of the ocean and Tijuana. The adjacent beach is quiet and secluded.

I saw the wall and it even goes in to the sea. The Border Agent said its always been there even before President Trump started talking about walls.

Super fun ride through brush and trees. Colorful blooming flowers along the way

The wetlands are beautiful. Just make sure to not swim in the ocean- the sewage from Tijuana has polluted the ocean here.

Very nice and colourful place, calls for love, kindness and tolerance, all in all, Humanity. The opposite of the other side of the border...

Needs more public access....

Nice hike due to flooding we couldnt drive to the border fence. Bring water and sunblock pretty deep sand .
