This boardwalk is almost three miles long. It spans from the south mission jetty to Law Street in PB. Activities include biking, walking/running, inline skating, and more. Mission Beach almost always has fun waves to ride. This is due to its sandbars which shift quite often. When it's pumping, getting out to the biggest waves will take work. Often there are strong currents but lifeguards are always present. Parking: GET HERE EARLY. You'll regret it if you don't. Typically the parking lot fills up completely on both sides each day by early afternoon during summer.

This is a nice place to stop and visit, it's got the pb vibe all over it, parking, nice views, and plenty of vendors and stores to buy from. I like to stop here and take pictures, enjoy some coffee, and just people watch from time to time. The boardwalk is filled with people of all walks of life, some beautiful, some not so much. But, that's what makes SD unique is we are all welcomed.

When my friend and I got there we had to use the restroom as we had been on a long trip, there was a lady cleaning them and had a sign up saying temporarily closed...I got her attention and explained we really really needed to use the facilities. She was very kind and understanding and let us in. A little understanding and compassion goes a long way, we should all learn how to be more compassionate to one another... try it TODAY!!

Arrived here around 9am and walked all the way south to the end, and then north all the way to the end. Was absolutely gorgeous and totally worth it. There's plenty of restaurants along the way or only a block or 2 from the boardwalk so plenty of places to stop for a break. The sand is also pretty hard so you can easily walk on it with shoes on which is nice.

This is my favorite beach in San Diego. It is a good family beach. Public restrooms and showers.This beach has a great boardwalk. Many shops and eateries. Belmont park is adjacent. Lots of fun carnival rides and activities are there. Lots to do in this area

Rent a bike, eat at the restaurants, walk with your toes in the sand, stay at the Catamaran Resort or any rental. Relax. Life is too short to worry about tomorrow, today. Tomorrow will care of itself. Romance your life. It all goes so quickly.

Mission Beach boardwalk along San Diego waterfront is simply breathtaking, love being able to just pop in earbuds with nice music walking along. People here were super friendly, and receptive .. Will definitely be back for a longer visit.. I get the whole California dreaming thing now ❤️✌️

Beautiful beach and waves during surfing competition with azure blue skies and lots of sunshine in January in 60 degree weather.

Excellent place to walk, run, bike whatever you prefer. Great atmosphere and there are plenty of places to hang out.

Great place to walk. Plenty of room without bumping people. Bikes are a little scary and don't pay attention to the 8mph rule. There were electric bikes going at least 20mph. Great restaurants, plenty of resting points and restrooms for the public all of the walk. Will be walking there again.

Just one of the Most beautiful relaxing beaches in Cali.. you can boogie board surf or just jump the waves! Love it here!

Beautiful place to make photos, see seals, maybe even go for a swim if you don't get to close to the seals. Overall awesome place.

Great boardwalk to do a walk, bike ride, skateboard, or run. Not too busy on a weekday morning. But gets busy around 11 am when Belmont Park rides open up. Easy parking that's free. Parking lot is messy and some spaces are a little tight. Don't recommend using the public restrooms...very basic and looks minimally kept. Nice view of the beach and interesting views of the beachfront rentals.

It's a really fun place that's filled with tons of people walking along the paved pathway along the beach, lots of good-looking people, lots of families having a good time and lots of singles and groups walking around and enjoying the good energy and the fun atmosphere. People are pretty polite even though it's crowded. There are a lot of good looking people in this area. It's a great place to spend the afternoon and have fun in San Diego it's not really filled with places where you see people and interact with people so this is a fun place to go.

Lot of fun. The vibe is beachy. A lot of good people watching to be had there. An old roller coaster that had been inactive was working once again. We found parking right away and it was free.

Wonderful place to stroll beach side and watch walkers, joggers and bikers as well as enjoy amazing views of the ocean breakers.

So this is the spot to go when your in San Diego. Great spot for a vacation or a day walk. You can run, walk or chill. There is plenty of beach and space to relax. The area has plenty of unique attractions and restaurants to keep you entertained. And the amount of rental spaces and AirBnb make living close east. I recommend just hanging and enjoy the sun. That is more than enough. Besides a few minutes away is other amenities and places to see.!!

The beach has plenty of places to set up for a day. There are so many shops and eateries along the boardwalk to enjoy. Adivce: Take bread crumbs to feed the birds. They will come very close and great photo ops are to be had. Get there early and park at Belmont park.. parking can be a huge issue after 9AM.

Had fun with my family walking on this beach and playing sand. Can walk freely while social distancing. Peaceful yet beautiful place to hang out..

With 109 thousand plus reviews views, more than 9 million photo views and a master photographer badge, Please like the review if you find it helpful. This is a review for the beach and the boardwalk together. There is no separate listing for the beach. I think this is the busiest beach in San Diego. It has narrower strip of sand than others. The board walk is nice but crazy busy with bikes e bikes skateboards on the weekend than other nights. Parking is a challenge as well. The board walk is nice long stroll or walk when you experience it outside of rush times.4 stars because water is cold in mid July. So amoung swimming beaches it will not rank high. There are waves for surfing.

I will have to update my review when I return. I didn’t get to spend much time on the Boardwalk. Mission beach is one of the cleanest beaches I have been to in Cali. Definitely recommend going early if you like to collect shells. I have been lucky enough to find whole sand dollars there. Will definitely be back.

Had fun, street vendors with a neat variety of miscellaneous tourist buys. Nice little park close by and a decent roller coaster.

Friendly, safe, and beautiful walk awaits! It's a throwback and modern all at once. The ocean view is spectacular and uninterrupted because all houses and businesses are on one side of the walk. Easy access to beach at almost every block. You will not want to leave.

Absolutely awesome!!!!! Lots of people out and about. We had a great time like always.. GOOD JOB CALIFORNIA COMING BACK TO LIFE... TRY the Plunge pool here it has a great obstacle course.

Just beautiful. We traveled here for a weekend trip from Arizona to visit the beaches. There's ample parking, so many street vendors, music, food and rides. The beach was clean, the ocean just beautiful. I highly suggest you visit if you haven't already. We will be returning in September for a longer stay.

Good place. Nice long beach, nice place to visit during sunset. There were sufficient numbers of lifeguards. Not too much cloudy, you can enjoy walking. We have seen couple of dolphins but I don't know if that is a regular phenomena or not.

Fun and safe boardwalk with fun marketplace style shops along with other retail shops and several restaurants right next to Belmont Park. Great area for fun in the sun

Awesome place to walk around and get some sun. It’s always busy and lots of fun! Lots of food options and a lively atmosphere.

Great place for a walk, jog or bike ride.

10/02/2021 Watching this gorgeous sunset while eating some fries from a Boardwalk shop. The fries were $5 and were enough for 2 people.

Cool little Beach area with the usual bars and restaurants. Nice live music stage on Saturdays. Fire pits for the cool nights chilling by the ocean. Nice crowd.

Mission Beach Boardwalk and beach are great to walk and more - the high tides of December are now. The waves are energy, clouds are sailing and painting the sky. But please bring a bag to pick up plastic, safely. If all of us pick up one piece each visit then the shore and ocean will be better than we found it.

A great place to go to beach, shop and hit the Belmont Pier for rides and games. A must is the roller coaster. It is not extreme, but so much fun! I tried the deep fried Oreos, yummy. The funnel game looked delicious also. The service was a little slow, but worth the wait. A great place to visit in San Diego with free parking.

Great place, great places to get food with the views and breeze from the ocean. Only bad thing is the California government shutting down everything right now. Highly recommend Cannonball, Draft, and Alehouse for some good food

Always a pleasure to visit here. Plenty of people, but also plenty of beach to share. Amazing views from every direction. Shops are also neat to visit.

Must see while in San Diego. Everything is beautiful from the sand to the people to the sunset. Took a walk in the boardwalk and sat by the ocean. Was so relaxed that i ended up falling asleep i felt so good!!

Great beach! A little crowded but didn't bother me. Plenty places to eat and shop. Amusement park and stage for live concerts. Great beach.

Super cool beach lots of shops and food and you can still have a fire on the beach in designated areas. They also have programs for power wheel chairs so really anyone can come!

Been awhile since I've visited but I love this place to hang out at beach people watch ride beach cruiser bikes and have dinner

Nice clean beach. Lots of shops and restaurants nearby to choose from. Parking can be a bit of a challenge but worth it. We were able to see dolphins playing in the waves.

Great place to hang out, have fun and people watch. Fun shops and great food. Very people and pet friendly. Beautiful sunsets on the beach finish a great day!

Great place to walk, jog, skateboard, or people watch! Cool vibes and multiple places to eat/drink along with complete beach accessory rentals.

Excellent beach! Great waves for boogy boarding and swimming. We saw dolphins both times we were there! Easy parking close to the beach. There was an Amusement park and lots of food and shopping. Swimming/bay area and coastal beach all within walking distance. The bathrooms were dirty... Seems to be the same with all the beaches we went to though. Great lifeguards on duty (during some hours) was nice as they kept everyone within a safe distance from the shore and alerted us of riptides and kept the surfers always from the swimmers. Would definitely recommend it for families or adults and would love to go back there!

Loved it. Went during the winter and the weather was great for shorts and a light jacket. The rides looked so fun and bright. Something straight out of a movie. The rides were legit feet away from the sand and water. They even decorated for Christmas and had a bodybuilding snowman. Totally recommend going if you have some friends or a family with different hobbies. They have the beach, an arcade, amusement park rides, food and a lot more.

Besides parking, whole place is super fun there's food, music, drinks, shopping stores, arcades,rides and rentals. They literally have everything you can think of on the side of the beach it's amazing. I forgot to mention they have SHOWERS TOO ON BOTH ENDS OF THE BOARDWALK!!!!!!!!!

Great beach & boardwalk with lots to see & do! Great food, tons of souvenir shops & fun for the entire family/group.

Stayed at an air BNB for my wife's daughters wedding and LOVED Mission beach and the businesses there. We will definitely be back. Even my wife who grew up in Ocean Beach loved it there. Can't wait to return there!

Awesome

One of the best places on 🌎

Good place to walk, dance and just hand out on the beach. Craft was open and seating customers during pandemic, other restaurants were take out only

Mission bay favorite vacation spot

Public restrooms are filthy

Beautiful place to go see why rent is so high in San Diego...lol

Love riding my ebike here

Where else can you see this.

Paseo a la orilla del mar, puede ir en bicicleta, patines, patinetas, correr o caminar. Kioscos de comida, bebida y ropa, restaurantes y casas en renta.

Is a place that makes me realize how real this creation really is all we got to do is believe and be true to ourselves

Great board walk and bicycle path.

Beautiful place to go!

The best place to enjoy sun and shop!

Weather was perfect for beach time.

Ok. I've seen better. Room for bikes and skateboards etc. Just wish there were more shops and stuff. I like Myrtle Beach and Virginia Beach a bit more for their similar locations.

Haven't been to Mission Beach and Belmont Park in too many years. It's not the same beach I grew up around which isn't necessarily a bad thing because the boardwalk has grown up too! I only gave 4 stars because I miss the kickback "hometown" feel but at the same time I'm loving the modern look, and upscale bars and restaurants. But most of all we still have some of the most beautiful sunsets to behold and share.

Only California can give you the ocean waves like this. LA is cool, but San Diego has that laid back feeling you can't get anywhere else. We chill like that. Walk, skate, run, bike, eat or kick it on the beach or in the waves. Rent a hotel room or a condo right on the beach and experience Cali life like a native. Just about anything you want to eat is within walking distance. Enjoy. It's San Diego. 😎

It was so beautiful. We really enjoyed it here and so did our dog.

The kids liked the arcade. Even though we could not go inside the arcade they had fun. Tried chicken charlies for the first time. We got the bacon wrapped deep fried pickle...um..yeah it's pretty salty! Kids liked the bacon...lol.we all really like going to Mission Beach.

It looks like it would be a fun place normally. It was crowded and pretty much no one was wearing masks, so I stayed to the beach, which was nice,

Clean, friendly, plenty gift shops, prices were fair, beach was clean people maintaining 6ft apart. Water was beautiful..

We love staying steps from the beach. This location is perfect with a great view, yet set back from boardwalk about 20 feet so that we can see folks on the boardwalk, but they are not looking into our window. The jacuzzi feels great after swimming, for both parents and our kids. I love BBQing dinner while overlooking the water and sunset. Walking to Belmont and bike rental shop very easy.

(Translated by Google) Nice place to walk and relax (Original) Bonito lugar para caminar y relajarse

Nice place to go for a stroll

Visit ,the punch is open , ocean and some food are going.

Love Mission Beach! Great place to spend time in the current situation since it's easy to distance yourself from others.

Can't wait to ride the rollercoaster 🎢 when it opens up again.

Fantastic spot fish tacos 🌮

Npt crowded due to restrictions

Love coming to this beach. Close parking. Great sand. Bathrooms. Snack bars.

People still here enjoying outside by the beach everyone wearing mask

Many shops and places to eat. Good for walking.

Visiting from Florida. My daughter and I loved it here. Everyone is friendly. Shops have good prices. We rode the go karts. Other rides were shut down due to the virus, but we still had an amazing time. We will come back again.

Just beautiful

Heaven

Great place to go for family walks.

My girl and I visit here quite often to walk the shore line and boardwalk. So ya we would highly recommend seeing for yourself 🤙

(Translated by Google) My first time in the ocean ... awesome 😲 😲 😲 😲 (Original) Mi primera vez en el océano...impresionante 😲 😲 😲 😲

Nice place small and crowded

Poppin.....was a good time with the family , we got to go on the go karts and rock climbing. Some arcade games were available and the staff there we polite and I would give it a 10 out of 10. I have a family of 5 an $100.00 does go a ways here. I would recommend to anybody that just want a day of fun with the family or friends.

Love taking a walk on the boardwalk with friends and family.

Clean Not to many people around

Boardwalk fine, residential streets where the Patrol yells at people for the audacity of walking their leashed dogs-not fine!

Amazing beach!!
