Mission Beach
A long strip of a neighborhood, Mission Beach is another classic, laid back beach and bay spot that hosts surfers, volley-ball players, and anyone looking to maximize their time in the sun and sand.
Famous for the Mission Beach Boardwalk, don’t hesitate to throw on your roller blades, take a dip in the water, and get yourself a tasty açaí bowl at a local cafe or take down a cold, crispy beer at a local dive bar with your friends.
For those who want to wake up sunburnt, hungover, and happy.
An adult-friendly, kid-friendly day at the beach
