Ocean Beach is a small beach town without all of the usual bells and
whistles typical of most popular beach towns. It's one of the few places left in San Diego where the shops are locally owned and managed. There is a lot to be said for this funky little beach town, with its collection of antique stores, restaurants, coffee houses, bike & surf shops, musicians, activists, & artists. Located only 7 miles from San Diego Downtown and 2 miles from Sea World it offers easy access to other San Diego attractions.
- Ocean Beach is well known for its two large sandy beaches, which cater to just about every beach-going type.
- The regular beach offers designated surfing and swimming zones, monitored by
the local life guards year round
- At the northern end of the beach, dog lovers can bring
their pets along for a romp in the waves or a swim in the flood channel
at Dog Beach.
- Ocean Beach Municipal Pier, at the south end of the
beach, extends out over the waves and offers great views of the
beautiful Pacific Ocean and coast. A tackle shop, located in the middle
of the pier, provides bait and supplies for the many fishing
enthusiasts who frequent the area. This is one of the few places that
visitors can fish without a California fishing license. Pole rentals
are available at the bait shop as well.
- Sunset Cliffs, along Sunset Cliffs Boulevard south of
Ocean Beach. A lovely setting, Sunset Cliffs is an excellent place for
sightseeing, picnics, watching sunsets or just
driving along the rim of the beautiful cliffs along Sunset Cliffs Blvd.
