Boardwalk

A popular activity in PB is cruising the boardwalk. Depending on your preference, biking, skating, or just walking will take you on your couple mile trek from the pier in Pacific Beach to Belmont Park (the roller coaster in Mission Beach). The entire span of the boardwalk is well over 3 miles from North PB to South Mission Beach. Be sure to watch for ‘slo-mo’, the famous slow motion roller blader seen in many PB photos. There are restaurants and bars sparsely scattered on the journey.

There are probably more bars per square mile in PB than anywhere in San Diego. So many that they’ve stopped issuing liquor licenses. There are way too many to list, but the gallery contains some of the local favorites. There’s also a plethora of nightlife attractions in Downtown San Diego… a short Uber away.
