Directions to US Side:

Take I5 to Dairy Mart Rd. Exit. Turn South/Southwest onto Dairy Mart Rd. Dairy Mart Road turns into Monument Rd. When the Park is open to vehicles, follow the road through the open gate to the park. When you get near the end, you will go up a hill to a parking lot where the park is located. If the park is closed to vehicles, it is still always open to foot, bicycle, and horses. Follow the same directions until you get to a closed gate about 1.5 miles from the park. There is a dirt parking lot there and you can walk/ride the rest of the way in. For park hours and to check for unexpeted closures of the vehicle gate, click here: PARK STATUS.

Pre-meeting location: Mango Manilla smoothie shop, 2036 Dairy Mart Rd, San Ysidro, CA . This gives us the fun option of all riding out together, allows for carpooling, and is close to public trans. We usually meet at the smoothie shop 1 to 1.5 hrs before the event starts (depending on park/walking status). It's located about 5 miles from the bi-natational friendship area and is about a 10 min walk from the Iris Ave trolley station.

Directions to Mexico Side:

If you are crossing the border, right after crossing get over to your far right lane and you will see a sign that says "Playas". Take that exit and follow the road along the border fence for about 3 miles. The road will turn South away from the fence and you'll see another sign that says "Playas" to the right. Take that exit and continue to follow the signs that say "Playas" (stay to your right). Finally, you will come to a stop light right next to a huge dirt parking lot that is for the Bull Ring "El Toreo". Turn right and go about 1/2 mile to the beach. Walk or drive north down the coastal Rd till you get to the fence. We'll be either at the park/garden at the end of that rd or down on the beach.
