El Faro se localiza justo enfrente del Parque Estatal Border Field (Border Field State Park) en Imperial Beach, California, al sur del cerco fronterizo entre Estados Unidos y México en Playas de Tijuana. La señal marítima de su faro ha iluminado la frontera por tres décadas.

Al pie del faro yace un jardín comunitario de plantas nativas que entrecruza la frontera. Es el Jardín Binacional, fue cultivado y es atendido por una red de organizaciones sociales y ambientalistas de ambos países. La avenida de acceso está llena de pequeñas tiendas y restaurantes que convierten a esta porción de la playa en la más visitada durante los fines de semana y periodos vacacionales.

El Faro is located across from Border Field State Park in Imperial Beach, CA on the southern flank of the U.S./Mexico border fence in Playas de Tijuana. The lighthouse which marks this spot has been used as a maritime signal for over 30 years.

At the foot of the lighthouse lies a community native plant garden straddling the border. This Binational Garden, was planted and is maintained by a network of environmental organizations from both countries. The access avenue is ridden with small shops and restaurants, which make this the most crowded portion of the beach during weekends and vacation periods.
