Ocean Beach
San Diego Beach Vacations

Ocean Beach or "OB" is one of San Diego's most beloved beaches. Those who know about OB are passionate about this little piece of paradise, speaking fondly of its attributes. The coastal region of San Diego comprised of Ocean, Pacific and Mission Beaches typifies San Diego lifestyle, laid back. Surfers, joggers, dogs and their owners all enjoy the sand, the water and views at Ocean Beach.

Ocean Beach has a beautiful fishing pier that includes a restaurant with indoor seating, outdoor tables and some of the most stunning views of the San Diego coast. The pier is one of the most unique piers in California. It stretches into the water and then at the end, forms a T-shape. Fishermen, women and children bring their poles and stay for hours, watching their poles and occasionally pulling something out of the water.

Ocean Beach features the beautiful beach and several blocks of shops that include lots of great restaurants, clothing, beach items, books and more.

To enjoy OB on a busy summer weekend, bring lots of patience. While parking is free, it is at a premium.  Cars sit in line, patiently waiting for someone to leave and a spot to open. If you are in a hurry, do not turn into the beach parking lot. You may find yourself stuck in a line with a 20 minute wait.  Getting around the cars is not always easy so your best bet is to just sit and enjoy the scenery until space opens up.
