About this place
The South Bay region of San Diego County stretches along the Pacific coast from the edge of San Diego down to the US–Mexico border. Its communities, led by Chula Vista and the busy border gateway of San Ysidro, mix suburban pace with easy binational access. Interstate freeways and the San Diego Trolley’s Blue Line make it simple to reach beaches, shopping districts, and the southern crossing into Tijuana. Travelers often use the area as a base or as a practical stopover before continuing into Mexico.
