Mission Beach
Type
Paved Path
Surface Concrete
Description
Mission Beach is the narrow strip of land between Mission Bay and the Ocean. There is about 6 miles of "boardwalk" running the perimeter of the area. Other than being completely flat, it offers a beach view for it's entire length. The beach isn't the only thing to view since the area attracts volleyball players, surfers, skateboarders, sunbathers and a host of bodies to die for. Officially, Mission Beach starts at Pacific Beach Dr. and goes south. The boardwalk, however, extends further north into Pacific Beach til it begins to reach La Jolla. The Map location is for Belmont Park, at the roller coaster, in the heart of Mission Beach
