Attractions, Activities & Things to Do
Activities at Mission Beach include surfing, body boarding, swimming, kayaking,
sunbathing, and picnicking. Swimmers and surfers use separate swimming
areas, which are designated by City lifeguards. South Mission Beach is a
volleyball Mecca. The wheelchair-accessible boardwalk behind the beach
extends nearly 3 miles to just north of Pacific Beach. It’s a booming activity
zone of bicycling, rollerblading, running, skateboarding, etc.
You can rent equipment at the end of West Mission Bay Drive adjacent to the
boardwalk. Those looking for the thrill of a beachfront rollercoaster and some
1920’s nostalgia will want to ride the Big Dipper at Belmont Park, located at the
north end of Mission Beach. This 73-foot-tall wooden rollercoaster was built in
1925, closed for restoration in 1976, and finally reopened again in 1990. The
Big Dipper is still an exhilarating ride up into the palm trees high above Mission
Beach.
