Mission Beach

The beach, the bay….the best of both worlds.

It may feel a bit cramped – there are a lot of people living on this peninsula – but there’s so much to love about this unique part of San Diego! Visit the historic Belmont Park packed with rides, games, and an epic ocean view at the top of the Giant Dipper Roller Coaster. Cruise the boardwalk or Mission Bay path; there are loads of bike rental shops here.
