Mission Beach Park: A Coastal Oasis in San Diego

Getting There

• Public Transportation

  From your location in Tijuana, make your way to the nearest Tijuana bus terminal, such as the 'Central de Autobuses de Tijuana' located on Avenida Revolución. Once there, look for a bus heading to San Diego. You will likely want to take a bus that crosses the border at the San Ysidro Port of Entry. After crossing into the U.S., continue on the bus until you reach downtown San Diego. From the downtown bus stop, transfer to the San Diego trolley system and take the Green Line towards Santee. Get off at the 'Mission Bay Drive' station. From there, it's about a 15-minute walk to Mission Beach Park. Head west on Mission Bay Drive, then turn left onto Mission Boulevard, which will lead you directly to the park.

• Taxi or Rideshare

  In Tijuana, you can find taxis or use rideshare apps like Uber. Request a ride to the San Ysidro Port of Entry and cross the border into the United States. Once you are in San Diego, you can continue your ride by providing the driver with the address '3000 Mission Blvd, San Diego, CA 92109'. The ride should take around 20-30 minutes depending on traffic.

• Walking and Public Transport

  If you're feeling adventurous, you can walk to the San Ysidro Port of Entry from Tijuana. It takes about 45 minutes to an hour to walk, depending on your pace. Once you cross the border, head to the San Diego trolley system at the 'San Ysidro' station. Take the trolley on the Blue Line to the '5th Avenue' station. From there, switch to the Green Line heading towards Santee and get off at the 'Mission Bay Drive' station. It will be a 15-minute walk from there to Mission Beach Park. Just head west on Mission Bay Drive and then turn left onto Mission Boulevard.
