MISSION BEACH

Welcome to Mission Beach

Where the privacy of a suburban area and the endless activities of an urban area meet

Founded in 1914, Mission Beach was one of the more recent communities to be built in San Diego, California. At the time, it was just a sandbar squeezed between Mission Bay and the Pacific Ocean that was hard to sell due to its narrow lots. But thanks to the community's founders, a concrete sea wall was built in a few years, and the Mission Beach Amusement Center was introduced. It would be right at the center of what locals now call Belmont Park. 

In no time, the population increased as more residents recognized the luxurious beauty of living here. Not only does the sun shine down on Mission Beach most of the year, but the buildings and landmarks are also rich with history and renowned architectural styles and designs. Among the various styles, the most popular are Victorian, American Craftsman, and modern. 

What to Love

  • Relaxed and peaceful atmosphere 
  • Perfect mix of an urban and suburban community
  • Private locations
  • Nearby beaches and incredible views of the ocean

Local Lifestyle

The local lifestyle in Mission Beach is a combination of water sports and activities, walks in parks and along the incredible shorelines, and plenty of retail and restaurants both in the area and a short distance away. The most significant benefit of living in Mission Beach is being in the suburbs—meaning there's space between homes and more privacy—with just a short travel to urban activities.

So, hang your hats in your private space and listen to the water sweep the shorelines or go out and take advantage of all the commercial opportunities Mission Beach has to offer. Either way, there's always something for everybody. 

Dining, Entertainment & Shopping

When locals are in the mood for fun and bar food, there’s no better place to be than here. Oceana Coastal Kitchen is nestled inside the Catamaran Resort Hotel, and guests are transported to an upscale tropical dining experience. Just off the Mission Beach Boardwalk, Beach House Tequila & Taqueria serves up burgers, drinks, and Mexican fare in a massive outdoor space. If you’re looking for trendy, Cannonball is a hip sushi spot with beautiful rooftop ocean views.

If you walk along the Mission Beach Boardwalk, you’ll find numerous boutiques and stores ranging from high fashion to trendy tourist spots.

Things to Do

When locals are looking for things to do any day of the week, three locations come to mind every time. First, there's the famous Belmont Park, a retro-vibe amusement park that sits beachside.

Then, there's the exciting water activities — including paddle boarding — at Mission Bay. Finally, you'll find a substantial portion of the community traveling to La Jolla Playhouse for some of the best live performances around. Lazerblast Arcade is for more adventurous residents interested in rock climbing, arcade games, and laser tag.
