As the name suggests, the Mission Beach neighborhood is known for its coastal lifestyle, but it’s also home to a historic waterfront amusement park and the largest man-made aquatic park in the United States. Situated on a sandbar between Mission Bay and the Pacific Ocean, this beach town is just two blocks wide at its narrowest point. It’s a mix of vacation rentals and oceanfront homes only fifteen minutes north of downtown San Diego. The bay side was developed in the 1940s to create water recreation and leisure. Who knew decades later you’d be able to cruise its gentle waters in a hot tub boat or explore beneath them in an underwater dive park?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
