On one side is the Pacific Ocean and on the other Mission Bay. Take a virtual tour of Mission Beach Mission Beach is dead flat. Homes have very small lots on short narrow roads ending either on the ocean or bay. There is a marina on the bayside. Mission Beach is interrupted halfway down by a large park, a popular amusement park with a vintage roller coaster and a bridge link to Interstates 5 and 8.
Mission Beach feels like a resort with nice sandy beaches and busy boardwalks on both sides.
There is a very busy boardwalk, nearly 3 miles long, that runs the length of Pacific Beach. There is also a boardwalk along the bayfront. Both are popular with walkers, skaters and cyclists.
