You have the choice of carefully cutting a hole in that nice wall and wiring from the inside or, using surface-mounted wiring to add that second switch.
How about some daytime photos?
1st, that light is switched from somewhere and to add a switch you need to determine, 1, how it is powered, 2, if the switch is the power source or just a switch leg and 3, can additional conductors can easily be added.
2nd, you'll need to add a weatherproof extension box, either metal or plastic, behind the light fixture.
3rd, you'll then need to mount, either plastic or metal conduit, as a raceway to the new switch location.
4th, you can mount the switch outside or inside, and if it's inside you install an LB, drill through the stucco, cut the interior material, install the appropriate length nipple between the LB and the interior box and pull your conductors.
When you are short on information, you get generalities.
Not and have a second inside switch.
There is already a switch inside. I'm looking to add one outside.
