Ocean Beach

Laid-back beach town with a bohemian soul

Ocean Beach — or OB to locals — is San Diego’s most laid-back coastal neighborhood. With its surf culture, eclectic shops along Newport Avenue, dog-friendly beaches, and one of California’s longest fishing piers, OB has maintained its funky, free-spirited character for decades. It’s the kind of place where flip-flops are always appropriate.

Known for: Dog beach, Newport Ave shops, fishing pier, surf culture, antique stores
