I know where that is!!! We called it "The Cement Boardwalk"
D'Wife saw Rob Lowe rollerblading there when we were visiting her brother
We went to a bar on Mission Beach Blvd [The Blue Ox, I think it was called?]. The band played indoor and they had a patio where we were. She almost got herself in a fight with half a dozen surfers
Five college girls got arrested St. Patty's day on the boardwalk. I'll be glad when spring break is over.
