About the Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve
The Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve, located at 301 Caspian Way in Imperial Beach, California, is Southern California's largest coastal wetland. As one of 30 Reserves in the United States, we are dedicated to preserving, protecting, and managing the natural and cultural resources of the Tijuana River Estuary. Our goal is to create opportunities for education and research, while also promoting public access for recreation throughout the Reserve.
Visitors to the Tijuana Estuary can enjoy a variety of activities, from hiking and biking to birding and horseback riding. The unique socio-ecological setting of the Reserve makes it an ideal "living laboratory" for researchers, and we offer a range of educational programs that celebrate the natural and cultural resources found in the Estuary.
One highlight of the Reserve is the California State Parks podcast series, Divided Together, which explores the land, history, and people surrounding Border Field State Park. We also acknowledge that this land is the traditional territory of the Kumeyaay First People.
Come experience the beauty and wonder of the Tijuana Estuary and discover all that this natural wetland habitat has to offer.

Reviews of Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve
"It’s incredible how close this wildlife sanctuary is to the border. It’s a fascinating place to not just think about, but also see the juxtaposition of how codependent each and every species that creates the ecology of this amazing place is on each other compared to the politics of human interactions happening a few miles away. With that, it is a beautifully designed place for visitors who want to get a taste of California’s largest southern coastal wetland region. The visitor center is lovely and has wonderful interactive displays. I was able to go on an informal tour along with a guide from the visitor center. There were many varieties of plants, birds, insects and animals. Not too far to the coastline - a wonderful part of nature to visit!"
"Nice museum, great hiking trails, and lots to see. Come here a few times every year and get bird photos. Always find something to see here and get a few miles hiking at the same time."
"This was very neat, being at the utmost point of the US/MEXICO BORDER right at the Pacific ocean, dinner time the water would be a blast. It was a bit windy and cool to get in the water here. Seen some border patrol agents and their horses along the beach. Helicopters flying above doing a great job at working the border. Seen plenty of sandpipers on the beach with seagulls. And seen a 2-ft rattlesnake cross the road which was really interesting!"
"Nice area for a walk, bike ride, horse back riding (saw lots of that), hanging at the beach. Lots of trails. I saw a sign saying it’s a surfing area too. Didn’t see any surfers though. I don’t know if I would come here on a regular basis but it was worth a one time visit. It’s right next to the border so you will definitely run into the border patrol and park rangers. They were nice. I walked down to the beach from the Tijuana river campgrounds and up to the border wall which actually goes across the beach and into the ocean. Seemed like a party area across the border. You could hear music and lots of people milling around. I also walked up the hill next to the campground which gives you a great view of the Estuary, the bay, and San Diego. BTW, I would not camp at the campgrounds again. It’s new and nice but the marines use the area for flight training and there is literally helicopters flying in low altitude circles all day (til 11 pm). Noisy! I was told the new pilots are getting their flight hours. The rangers told me it’s like that most days."
"Beautiful and low traffic reserve. There are trails throughout. You can see rabbits and other wildlife. A great place for birding as well. Beware of mosquitoes and other insects. Make sure to wear long sleeves/pants AND insect repellent otherwise they will attack! Lol"
