Overview & Amenities

South Mission Beach is just below Mission Beach, and is the perfect place for a stroll. There are plenty of amenities, including a big grassy park with picnic tables and even a basketball court and volleyball courts. Because this beach is so wide and sandy, you can toss a football or even play a pick-up game of whiffle ball. This beach is also one that is guarded by a lifeguard every day until dusk so you can feel safe letting your kids play. If you are an avid biker or runner, you can take the Ocean Front Walk from South Mission Beach all the way to Pacific Beach.

The beach here is wide, sandy, and comfortable; even on the busiest days, you’ll have no problem finding a spot to spread out on! You can feel safe bringing the little ones, too: there is a big lifeguard building here that is manned every day until dusk. The Ocean Front Walk begins at South Mission Beach, so bikers and runners can start their day here and head north all the way up to Pacific Beach.
