MISSION BEACH (KGTV) \u2014 Hundreds of people are heading to Mission Beach to beat the heat, and local businesses and vendors are keeping up with the demand.<\/p>\n
Beachgoers said the coastal spot is a go-to destination when temperatures rise.<\/p>\n
“It’s a great spot to be good surf — always gotta — come,” Elijah Yee said.<\/p>\n
“We just played some spike ball, and then we were a little hot. So I mean what better to do than get some shaved ice,” Michael Satter said.<\/p>\n
Among those capitalizing on the hot days is 9-year-old Jeremiah Roberts, who is selling lemonade to help raise money for travel with his football team.<\/p>\n
“We’re a good football team. We just won, uh, a ring in Orange County and we won, we won at Granite Hills,” Roberts said.<\/p>\n
As temperatures continue to rise, so do his sales.<\/p>\n
“They say it’s some good lemonade,” Roberts said.<\/p>\n
On the coast, warm bites are drawing crowds just as much as cold drinks. Mike Soltan, owner of Kojack’s Restaurant, said the heat wave has been good for business.<\/p>\n
“The heat wave just brings us more and more people down here, especially when it’s hot like inland. Everybody, I mean 9 o’clock this morning, there’s no parking down here. It’s full, full parking,” Soltan said.<\/p>\n
Along the boardwalk, drummer Randall Ward said he plays to lift people’s spirits.<\/p>\n
“Try to bring a little light, a little happiness every now and then, so it kind of sparked people up they go back home, they’re kind of fired up for the week,” Ward said.<\/p>\n
