Home of Belmont Park , miles long boardwalk, and a host of beachfront restaurants , MB is beach culture, through and through. Lay out a towel, soak in beautiful San Diego, grab a board and hop in!

Don't miss out on this great beach ! Whether you are grabbing a quick bite , going for a jog, or laying out in the sand with friends, this beach is sure to be fun for all.

The sun on the water is gorgeous. The view of the coastline is probably my favorite place on Earth. Peaceful , mellow, and so Southern California! :)

Paved walk populated by dipshit aging hippies holding wheelies on their bicycles. Better to walk the beach at surf 's edge; more room to walk & nobody riding up your leg

Love this beach . Lots of stuff to do and great restaurants too. If you have kids there are plenty activities to keep them busy. If you’re an adult and want bars and games they have that too.

We chilled out on Mission Beach for several hours. The ocean water was too cold for us but still pleasant and relaxing. There are also several shops, restaurants , and other attractions .

Ray Elkins

Great place to jog, walk, bike , blade or just sit and people watch . South Mission Jetty to Crystal Pier and back = 5.25 miles. Grab some food @ World Famous if you get hungry.

Enrique Gutiérrez Arzate

The Giant Dipper, a classic, wooden roller coaster in Belmont Park along Mission Beach, is one of only two ocean-side coasters on the West Coast.

Make sure to walk the whole Boardwalk and see all the action. Weekends are packed at Mission Beach

Walk or run on the boardwalk all the way down to Mission Point for some great exercise.

We love the early evenings when the houses start turning their lights on. The boardwalk is positively beautiful for a stroll.

Cool neighborhood , Good wave break and great people lives in Jersy Court

Jac Lyn

Be sure to get there early. Parking is not fun. The boardwalk is nice but a little too crowded . I like the mini roller coaster tho.

Las Vegas Mannequins

Built in 1925, the roller coaster in the U.S. to have National Landmark status and to be on the National Register of Historic Places.

Todd

In summer, on weekends, it's busiest between 11am and 3pm. No problem finding parking if you arrive before 11.

Thong bikinis are technically illegal on Mission Beach, which is both good and bad, depending on who might try to wear one.

Amber

Awesome place to jog/walk or just simply explore.

Rich Mo

Wings store is great for souvenirs

Christopher Michael

Watch for the Gestapo SDPD! They patrol vigorously for people smoking & drinking on the beach or boardwalk. Tickets are not cheap !! **BEWARE** Waste of tax dollars IMHO!!
