Steps from the sand at 711 Oliver Ave, 92109, Big Kahuna's Ice Cream is an ice cream shop that has become a Pacific Beach boardwalk ritual for visiting families and locals cooling off after a beach day. The small shack-style stand serves homemade ice cream in cups, sugar cones, and waffle cones alongside milkshakes, banana splits, smoothies, açaí bowls, shave ice, boba tea, and iced blended coffees. Flavors rotate but staples like mocha almond fudge and chocolate consistently draw repeat visits, and cookie sandwiches offer a handheld option for boardwalk strolling. A handful of elevated picnic tables provide seating with direct sightlines to the Pacific Ocean, making it one of the few spots along the PB boardwalk where you can sit, eat, and watch the waves at the same time. Beachgoers grabbing lunch at Waterbar on the boardwalk often finish the meal with a cone from Big Kahuna's on the walk back to their towels. The stand is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and offers delivery through Grubhub and Uber Eats for those who prefer treats brought to their door. Pricing starts at $4 for a single scoop in a plain cone and tops out around $6 for milkshakes and malts. Families spending the day along the boardwalk between Oliver Avenue and Mission Boulevard can also grab a quick meal at Bare Back Grill before circling back for dessert.
