SHOPPING & DINING
Limitless shops line the streets with souvenirs, clothing, beachwear, anything and everything you could possibly need or want. Part of the beach living charm is experiencing all the different vendors selling their unique and rare goods on the boardwalk. If you want more unique shopping you can find numerous eclectic shops up and down Garnet Ave, about 2 miles North. There are convenient stores for your basic needs and a major grocery store less than 2 miles north on Mission Blvd (near Garnett).
For dining you have a ton of options such as Sandbar Sports Bar & Grill, Coaster Saloon, Beach House, Luigi's Pizza, Mizu Sushi, Subway, Taco shops, Starbucks, Gelato, and multiple ice cream shops all within walking distance.
If you like lobster you can NOT beat the lobster tacos at World Famous. You will come back to San Diego just for these tacos!
The Mission Cafe is well known for their breakfast and if you are looking for vegan eats check out NoW Cafe (directly behind our condo, next to Subway), NoW Sushi, and Soulshine Vegan Market Deli & Cafe.
Although, there are all types of cuisine available for you to enjoy you can not leave San Diego without trying the food we are best known for… Mexican food. YUM! If you want to check out the best place to experience authentic Mexican food and culture you must take a short car ride to OLD TOWN, best Mexican eats around!

WATER ACTIVITIES
Get tired of watching the dolphins play in the surf and want more than just surfing and boogie boarding… There are numerous places to rent stand up paddle boards, kayaks, pedal boats, power boats, sailboats, jet skis and you can even set up a time to go parasailing through San Diego Parasail Adventures less than 2 miles away! Another fun activity within walking distance for the kids is to go to The Plunge. The Plunge has the best pool inflatable obstacle in San Diego, so much fun!

LAND ACTIVITIES
Mission Beach has one of the top 10 beach boardwalks in the USA. The boardwalk spreads out all along the length of mission beach and is about 2 miles long. The boardwalk is known for its scenic views and a great place to go for a walk, run, ride bikes, scooters, skateboards and rollerblading. Located at the South end of the boardwalk near the jetty are basketball courts and beach volleyball nets, just bring the basketball and/or volleyball!
