Blue Sea Beach Hotel Neighborhood

Blue Sea Beach Hotel’s prime beachfront location gives diners easy access to the Ocean Front boardwalk and the beach. Going to the right on the boardwalk, you’ll find World Famous, a popular beachside restaurant. If you’re around mid-week, check out shrimp taco Tuesdays or lobster taco Wednesdays! You’ll pass a quirky ensemble of interesting shops, bars, restaurants, and coffee shops, including Woody’s Breakfast & Burgers before hitting the iconic Crystal Pier. On the other side of the pier is North Pacific Beach. Ocean Walk boardwalk snakes along the bluffs above the beach with the occasional stairway connecting the two.

Going to the left on Ocean Front Walk will take you past beachfront homes, condos, and vacation rentals; eventually get you to the Wave House and historic Belmont Park in Mission Beach. The two beaches and their respective neighborhoods are connected by Ocean Front Walk. Following the boardwalk to its end will take you to the jetty. Across the canal and another jetty is Ocean Beach.

Mission Boulevard is one block behind Blue Sea Beach Hotel. There is a small shopping plaza with a Tony Roma’s restaurant – specializing in baby back ribs, a liquor store, a few boutiques and surf shops, and Shock Fitness, which offers three-day free guest passes.

Catamaran Resort is across Mission Boulevard from Blue Sea Beach Hotel. On the other side of the resort is Mission Bay, a completely different experience from the ocean. It is the largest manmade aquatic park in the country with 27 miles of shoreline and 14 miles of biking and walking paths.
