Halfway between Belmont Park and Crystal Pier on Mission Blvd, Single Fin Surf Grill brings a surf-themed bar and restaurant experience to 3844 Mission Blvd, 92109. Co-owner Tony is a visible presence behind the bar and on the floor, greeting regulars by name and handling busy weekend services with hands-on hospitality that reviewers consistently call out. The interior leans into its namesake aesthetic with surf memorabilia, a fun house mirror near the entrance, and a rotating soundtrack of indie surf rock that sets the tone for an evening out. The kitchen turns out a menu of burgers, seafood tacos, and globally inspired plates, with the Bali Burrito, a dense, neatly packed wrap blending Indonesian-inspired flavors of sweet and salty, earning particular praise from repeat visitors. Weekend mornings bring a $3 breakfast promotion advertised along the boardwalk, drawing early risers from nearby vacation rentals and the surrounding blocks. Guests who enjoy the coastal flavors at Single Fin can explore a different take on beach dining at Costa Brava, a few blocks north on Mission Blvd. The happy hour menu runs daily with half-off sides including jalapeno poppers, shrimp ceviche, and house-made churros with hot caramel, plus discounted cocktails and draft beers. A cocktail sampler offering three full-size drinks for $16 remains one of the better bar deals in the beach communities. The outdoor patio sits adjacent to the bay side of Mission Blvd with views of the water, and dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables. Late-night diners who want more options on the south end of the boardwalk can check out Bare Back Grill nearby for burgers and beachside cocktails.
