Activities
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.
The southern
part of 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.
