Ocean Front path

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Ocean Front Walk, a paved loop trail in San Diego's Mission Beach neighborhood along Mission Bay, stretches 4.6 miles (7.4 km). Passing through beachside parks, it offers a scenic route for walking or biking.

Note at busy times of day this is not the best trail to use if you'd like to keep your speed up.

The view from the pier, whether from the old sailing ship or the aircraft carrier, is a dream. You can also get straight into the historic old town from this side.
