What to expect

Mission Beach is a community built on a sandbar between the Pacific Ocean and Mission Bay, part of the city of San Diego, California. It spans nearly two miles of ocean front and is bounded by the San Diego River estuary on the south, Mission Bay Park on the east, and the community of Pacific Beach on the north. The community has a boardwalk that runs along the beaches on both the ocean and bay sides, and its main artery is Mission Boulevard. Mission Beach is a popular beach area with a lively boardwalk, numerous rental shops, and Belmont Park, a historic amusement park featuring the Giant Dipper Roller Coaster. The beach offers various activities for the whole family, including biking, beach volleyball, boogie boarding, surfing, whale watching, sport fishing, and scuba diving. The calm waters of Mission Bay, home to SeaWorld San Diego, are also within walking distance, offering grassy parks, playgrounds, picnic tables, and miles of paved sidewalks
