Border Field State Park Details
Nestled right on the border to Mexico, this state park contains the southernmost point of the state of California. It boasts over 1,300-acres of salt marshes and sand dunes which is an essential habitat for the exotic wildlife that lives in the area. Endangered birds, including the Light-footed Ridgway's Rail and the California Least Tern, are just two examples of rare creatures you might find lurking in the marshes. In addition to birdwatching, you will be able to wander along the 1.5-mile beach or trek through the inland trails around the dunes. Of course, it is also possible to go horseback riding and surf fishing in this park too.
