Adventure Tips
Arrive Early on Weekends
Gear rentals can run out quickly on sunny weekend days, so early arrival secures the best selection.
Check Tide Schedules
Optimal water conditions vary with tides—mid to high tide often produce gentler surf for paddlers and beginners.
Wear Layered Clothing
Ocean breezes mean mornings and evenings can feel cool even in summer; layers help you stay comfortable after water activities.
Lock Your Bikes
Use available locks or bring your own, as Mission Beach boardwalk can attract crowds and occasional opportunistic theft.
