- Deb WReno, Nevada2,448 contributionsBeautiful sunsetsWe rented a house right on the boardwalk. The views were beautiful. We had a great sunset every night and saw dolphins every morning. The boardwalk gets busy especially on the weekends. We rented bikes and found it nicer to ride on the bay side.Visited October 2023Traveled with friendsWritten October 8, 2023
- Cazz KLondon, United Kingdom145 contributionsOne of the best beaches to visitFantastic beach, Sandy clean with easy access to a freezing cold Pacific Ocean. A great place to go at sunset the scenery is amazing. Lifeguard on duty until 6pm if you fancy a dip. Small theme park nearly 100 years old with a wooden roller coaster, souvenir shops etc just behind. Long walkway along the beach great for roller skating and skateboarding or just strolling in the sunshine. Large free car park which is a bonus.Visited November 2023Traveled with familyWritten November 2, 2023
- EdwelshNorth Canton, Ohio7,228 contributionsNice wide beachLarge free parking lot right behind the boardwalk, next to a little amusement park and close to the street with restaurants and souvenir shops. Very large sandy beach that was easy walk, we spent a nice afternoon there. Saw many people roller skating, biking and skateboarding on the wide boardwalk.Visited May 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten May 13, 2024
- The Real DJUnited Kingdom131 contributionsBest Beach in San DiegoMy favourite beach from all the beaches we visited in San Diego. Drive to the south end and there is plenty of parking available in the large car park. The beach is wide with great sand giving a feel of remoteness. There are lifeguard towers and indicators where to swim and surf. Some of the waves were significant during our visit. Walk north towards the rollercoaster and grab some lunch. A lovely beach!Visited July 2024Traveled with familyWritten July 24, 2024
- TravelPrincess14Atlanta, Georgia154 contributionsClean nice beachHad a great time at the beach. Restaurants around and public restrooms. Recommend sitting near Wetzel Pretzels to be close to parking & food. Water was great for walking and some waves came in for light surfing in the afternoon. Lifeguards were great at moving families and children to safer areas of the water as bigger waves came inVisited August 2024Traveled with familyWritten August 23, 2024
- VanFam10Ormond Beach, Florida124 contributionsBeautiful, fun, relaxingOur family comes to this beach every year before heading to Disneyland. This beach is beautiful, the water is great, the stores are great. They keep it clean, there are lifeguards that are constantly patrolling. When we bring the kids, we cannot keep them out of the water, it's a blast. I will warn about seagulls, mostly everyone who goes to a beach knows to be aware of the seagulls. They will swarm you if you have food, of course. My 4 yr old got bit by one trying to get her pizza. But other than that, we absolutely love mission beach.Visited March 2024Traveled with familyWritten August 25, 2024
