Mission and Pacific Beaches

Why not spend a lazy afternoon at Mission and Pacific Beaches during your trip to San Diego?

Small park with great views of San Diego, the skyline, Mission Bay and and the Pacific Ocean. The park is mainly visit by local people with their dogs as we can run free on the large grass area. It’s also nice for just Picknick and watching the views. RV parking was plenty along the curbside inside the park but probably hard to use the turn-back circle on the end of the park for RVs over 30 feet long. More photos from here can you find on my blog:
