A wonderful family beach!
We loved the open spaces, everthing from the park to the long boardwalk. Stopping at a yogurt shop is a must. Waters too cold tho.

Of all the beaches in S.D.
Of all the beaches in San Diego....this beach is the tourist trap of San Diego! Ya, it has the Boardwalk to boost, and Giant Dipper...great....but this is the last beach I'd go to in San Diego for a relaxing fun day at the beach. Too many people. Many other beautiful beaches in San Diego to enjoy and relax...but if you have teens and you like all the traffic and congestion...feel free....this is your beach!

Love the ocean, but this beach is super busy all the time!!!
If you want to sit by the ocean and relax in a peaceful enviroment...Mission Beach is not the place for you. If you want action pack fun and excitement, then this is the place for you. This beach has the beauty of the ocean and the fun and excited of a mini fair. There are also stores and food all around so it is fun for everyone. There is alot of people at this beach all the time, so get there early to get a parking spot. If not, plan on driving around for a bit or walking a bit of a distance. My family loves this beach, that is why we continue to go back.

We love the beach
We love the beach...any beach, but Mission Beach is a great place to vacation if you have teenagers. We rent a beach house 1 week each summer-usually the week of the 4th of July. Probably the most crowded (and most expensive) week of the year but worth every penny. If you're looking for a place to take small kids, I'd head further north around Moonlight beach in Encinitas. This year they've banned alcohol on the beach, so it may be a bit more tame which isn't bad either.
