Mission Beach

Over 45,000 people call Mission Beach home, and most are young and single. The standard Californian surfer community, Mission Beach is a narrow area that runs along Mission Boulevard from the south peninsula into Pacific Beach. The attitude here is laid back, and the transportation of choice is either bicycle or skateboard, since parking is damn near impossible. South Mission is less hectic with a more young, professional crowd, and the recent addition of over two dozen volleyball courts makes it a recreational destination. The obvious attraction is Belmont Park, which houses arcades, clubs, and the famous Belmont Park Rollercoaster.
