Your local guide

Begin at the Tijuana Estuary Visitor Center for exhibits and current trail information, then head to Seacoast Drive for lunch. The pier and local shops make another easy cluster of stops. Check the county’s current beach advisories before any water activity; a scenic view does not establish that swimming is safe.
Choose a cultural stop →Seacoast Drive gathers restaurants and shops near the pier. Palm Avenue is a separate east–west commercial corridor, while 13th Street has neighborhood markets and kitchens. The Tijuana Estuary Visitor Center is on Caspian Way; follow posted access information rather than assuming every trail or shoreline route is open.
