Fernanda told us that a trip to Tijuana is not complete without stopping by the Playas de Tijuana. At the Northwestern most point of the beach is a wall that separates Mexico from the United States. The wall is decorated with urban art and poetry. Once a year they open the gate and allow families to meet each other in between before going back to their respective countries. I can imagine what a heartbreaking scene that would be.
We walked along the boarder towards the sea.
There was a walkway made of wood that followed the coastline. We saw restaurants, food carts, music, and more art scattered along our short walk.
Overall it was a unique experience to see the border. There are probably much nicer beaches along the coast of baja California, but I was glad we stopped by here during our trip!
