Mission Bay and Pacific Beach LivingSouth Mission Beach is bordered on the south by the Mission Bay Channel. It has, perhaps, the widest beach in the City. Recently, it has become known as a popular place to engage in sports such as beach volleyball and basketball following an extensive refurbishing of the courts. A popular game similar to baseball called “Over-The-Line” is allowed in a portion of this area.

Housing in the area consists of houses, town homes, and condominiums.  On the ocean side, Mission Beach boardwalk separates the residential units from the sandy beach.  Small beach cottages have been torn down and replaced by larger single family residences, duplexes, and some four-family units.  Follow this link to contact realtors serving Pacific Beach and Mission Beach neighborhoods.

Houses on the Bay side of Mission Bay tend to be larger.  There is just a small sidewalk separating these beach houses from the sand.  Many of these homes enjoy southeast exposure to Mission Bay, and the views of the water and the evening fireworks are spectacular.  Mission Bay homes are in the same zip code as Pacific Beach homes.  The strand is just a bit further south, but still convenient to La Jolla directly north.  Search Homes For Sale in the area.

Lifeguard Protection: Lifeguards are staffed daily year round at the main lifeguard station at the foot of Avalon Court. In summer, additional lifeguards are staffed along the beach in seasonal lifeguard towers. Lifeguards are generally on duty from 9:00 a.m. to dusk; but check with lifeguards for specific staff hours.
