Mission Beach - camping and city information
Mission Beach
Mission
Beach is the most popular beach in the City of San Diego. It is in the middle
of a continuous stretch of beach known as The Strand extending over two miles.
A narrow cement boardwalk parallels the entire beach beginning at Mission Bay
channel entrance and ending at the north end of Pacific Beach. Walking, bicycling,
running, skateboarding, and rollerblading are permitted on the boardwalk with
a speed limit of 8 mph. Because of the abundance of people caution and courtesy
should be used at all times while on the boardwalk.

Various shops, restaurants, and beach rental stores surround the Mission Beach lifeguard station, at the foot of Ventura Street. Attractions near Mission Beach include SeaWorld and Belmont Park, which features the Giant Dipper Roller Coaster. |
Jason's thoughts - Kelly and I have been
rollerblading for 10 years now and it continues to be an exciting way of seeing
many areas like Mission Beach. Wide fairly smooth sidewalk runs for miles with
direct beach sand on one side and houses and rental condos on the other side.
Thousands of colorful characters skate, bike, skateboard and job along with you
both directions the entire length of the course. One skating creature dressed
up as a cat with whiskers and all actually lifted both "paws" and growled
at us as we skated by. Food was quite good and well priced at the area restaurants
with ocean views. You could also watch people wipe out all day long on the artificial
wave pools at the back of some of the sidewalk front mission beach hotels.
Kelly's thoughts - I don't prefer crowds but roller
blading along Mission Beach was fun. I wish all beach towns had a paved sidewalk
alongside the beach. For the most part, we have noticed that private residences
don't hog up beach front property like they do in Florida. The beach is for everyone
with pedestrian walkways between private property and the beach. Grrrr said the
tall, tan, guy in his cat get-up of leopard print nut huggers held on by a string,
cat nose, whiskers and ears. Was that Grrrr at me or Jason?
Travel
Info - Mission Beach is definitely not RV friendly. It is very congested and
the parking is very, very tight. Map location of Mission
