Older residential neighborhoods compliment young beach town Pacific Beach, divided into alphabetical streets of gems and mineral, is very much a grid. The lower end is much like Mission Beach, with a blend of college-goers, and singles. Garnet Avenue harbors many local beach-goers attracted by trendy clothing boutiques, a plethora of restaurants, resorts, clubs and nightlife. Apart from the casual beach town atmosphere, a strong community base exists. Residential neighborhoods mixed with condos and single family homes create a strong sense of community. Multiple generations of families, active in the community still reside and are raising their families here. Mission Beach is essentially a narrow peninsula surrounded by the bay to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west. The atmosphere is much like a resort with wide beaches and busy boardwalk on both sides. Many Mission Beach homes are rentals attracting a younger crowd. The boardwalk on the ocean side is nearly 3 miles long, running the length of Mission Beach and Pacific Beach. A popular amusement park with a vintage roller coaster, fun shops and restaurants is a favorite among locals and visitors. Sea World is nestled in the bay to the south drawing thousands of annual visitors to the area.
