I use to surf at Pacific Beach.  Afterwards I’d stop by Mr. Frostie’s for a marshmallow shake.  There are a lot more ice cream choices in this area now.  I was excited to see Afters Ice Cream open.  I visited the Irvine location a few times but the drive and parking kept me from going often.  This location 2 blocks from the beach may keep me away due to the summer beach crowd.  For now there is ample parking and no line as I lucked out visiting during their soft opening.
