Part 6/9:
Heading north, you'll find the lively community of Pacific Beach, known for its laid-back college town atmosphere and the iconic Crystal Pier. The nearly 3-mile Pacific Beach Boardwalk is a great place for a run, bike ride, or simply enjoying the sandy beaches.
At the southern end of Pacific Beach is Belmont Park, a historic beachfront amusement park featuring the Giant Dipper roller coaster, a National Historic Landmark, as well as other rides, an arcade, and dining options.
