Check out this awesome photo from 1925 of an event along the Mission Beach - Pacific Beach Boardwalk, also known as Oceanfront Boardwalk. It is a concrete walkway that spans about 3 1/2 miles, from North Pacific Beach to South Mission Beach.  Mission Beach is at the center of the Golden Strand, between South Mission Beach and Pacific Beach. One of the most popular beach areas in the City of San Diego, Mission Beach draws large crowds in the summer to its oceanfront and adjacent Belmont Park.
Mission Beach is one of nine beaches that has permanent lifeguard stations patrolled by San Diego Lifeguards.
