Playas de Tijuana
Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico
Playas de Tijuana is the westernmost borough of Tijuana in Baja California, Mexico, a stretch of Pacific beach running from the U.S. border south toward Rosarito. The Bullring by the Sea, opened in 1960, anchors the strip, and Friendship Park sits at the border fence. Sewage spills have hurt the water quality, so check conditions before swimming.
Easy to reach with real history and a border view, though sewage spills have made it one of the most contaminated beaches in Mexico.
How we score beachesTreat this as a walking and viewing beach unless current water quality reports say otherwise. Check the latest sampling results before getting in.
Street parking runs along the beachfront near the bullring and the main access roads.
The beach is reached from the town streets over soft sand, with the border fence at the north end.
The Pacific here is cool year round, usually in the mid to high teens Celsius, and morning fog is common in late spring and early summer. Winter brings the larger northwest swells.
More Mexico & Central America beaches
Soliman Bay
Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico · Mexico & Central America
Soliman Bay sits about 20 minutes north of Tulum on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, a quieter alternative to the beach clubs further south, with a coral reef sheltering the mouth of the bay and villas tucked right against the sand. Puffer fish, octopus, and the occasional manta ray turn up in the clear water, and a public access point at the north end of the coast road has kayak rentals and simple seafood.
Playa Xcacel
Xcacel-Xcacelito, Quintana Roo, Mexico · Mexico & Central America
Xcacel Beach sits along Mexico's Riviera Maya coast, protected since 1998 as a sea turtle sanctuary where green and loggerhead turtles nest from April through October, releasing more than 200,000 hatchlings most years. A cenote sits just inland from the sand, and the whole stretch has stayed undeveloped specifically because of its protected status.
Chacala
Chacala, Nayarit, Mexico · Mexico & Central America
Chacala sits in a small cove on Mexico's Riviera Nayarit, about 90 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta, a nearly mile long beach of soft, pale sand lined with palm trees and palapa restaurants. The town holds around 300 full time residents, though visitor numbers climb sharply during Semana Santa and Christmas, and jungle covered hills rise up on either side of the bay.
