Spend only a few minutes at Mission Beach and you may find yourself beginning to hum the classic song “Under the Boardwalk” under your breath. Yes, the boardwalk on Mission Beach in San Diego has remained the same for decades, but it’s the people who bring out the fun-loving personality of this popular area, and its proximity to the Belmont Amusement Park attracts young lovers and families with kids. People watching, boogie boarding, and cotton candy eating are the main activities performed here, so pull up a beach towel and let the show begin!
80’s Movie Delight
Just like the old 80’s beach movies, the boardwalk today is filled with beautiful people in swimsuits casually riding their beach cruiser bikes or gracefully roller blading up and down the board walk. Beach volleyball games are important business at Mission Beach, so don’t be surprised to hear screams of joy, moans of defeat, and some pretty impressive grunts as another ball is spiked over the net to victory!
Water Fun
San Diego Mission Beach is a popular spot for surfers, which makes it a fun place to watch the surfers show off as we fervently wish we had just a little bit of their talent. Swimming, snorkeling, or just splashing around at the shoreline are other popular activities here, while many people never even touch the water. Sunbathing, sleeping, and reading the latest summer best seller can be just as fun while expending less energy; you’re on vacation, it’s time to relax!
Architectural Silliness
The age-old tradition of building sandcastles continues at Mission Beach, so don’t be surprised if you trip over a few budding architects practicing their craft in between runs to mommy and daddy to have them take a peek at their accomplishments. And because grown-ups want to have fun, too, you may be able to see them striving away at structures far more polished and grand than you would expect.
A Day at the Park – Belmont Park
Ferris wheels, historic coasters, balloon pop games, cotton candy, and EVERYTHING on a stick—when you visit Belmont Amusement Park during your Mission Beach adventures, everything is possible, including the opportunity to win that giant teddy bear for your little princess! Reminiscent of Coney Island, only with much better weather and probably healthier food, Belmont has been a local favorite since the late 1920s.
