We are definitely going to La Jolla. In the evenings or if we have some free time Ocean beach is closer. Is this a good beach? Sound we stick with Mission Beach?
Are you going as a family w/ young kids?
Ocean Beach is a lot shadier than Mission Beach or La Jolla. La Jolla has great beaches and is a much more upscale community (as you probably know). Mission Beach is great for families. Have you seen the Belmont Park area? http://www.belmontpark.com/ That is Mission Beach.
I love Ocean Beach. I grew up by it. But no, I really wouldn't recommend it to visiting families. (last time I was there) lot more homeless people, not as clean, and no real "touristy" stuff to do (besides walking the pier). Fun little hippy town, but I wouldn't take my kids there for the evening.
