Mission Beach is a region located along the southwestern coast of Seacrest County featured in Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit (2010). The eponymous road connects the area with Grand Ocean Coast, Hope Road, and the South Bay and Hope Canyon freeways.
It is the first region to be shown as part of the career mode with Escape to the Beach being the first racer event.
The area consists of beach houses and resorts along the road, supported by a scenic view of the mountains in the distance. A notable attraction is the amusement park on the pier, which can be reached by driving through an alternate route directly located on the beach, and fireworks will occasionally light up the sky at night in celebration.
A Hexagon gas station can be found near the eastern intersection of Mission Beach.
