    O.B. is a great place to visit. Great food, great people, great beach, & great fun. It's one of my favorite places in San Diego. I love it. Great friendly atmosphere, especially at night.

    One of my favorite beaches in San Diego. Newport Ave. is full of cool shops and yummy food places! Def. an interesting melting pot of people in this neck of the woods!

    Ocean Beach has the most unique people and places around! You can't be the character that this type of beach town has! Food: Hodad's, Nico's, Pizza Port, OB Noodle, Lazy Hummingbird...it's endless!

    If you want a tat or peircing go to heffes! Very clean professional chill and friendly. They talk to you to keep you calm and always use new clean fresh needles straight from the package.

    I befriended a parrot native to the area. He was so good at mimicking my voice that I had him stand in for me on several business calls.

    If apartment hunting check for large trees in close proximity to your windows.. you will hear the loud parrots (most the year) having morning/evening hoopla's. Annoying!

    Every time you visit pick up one piece of trash that isn't yours (and everything that is). Keep our beaches clean!

    I love OB. People are friendly, plenty of bars and good food all by the beach. No place better in San Diego.

    It was beautiful at the beach today. Sunny and the water was actually warm. Tess (my dog) and I had a great afternoon together.

    Where the 8 meets the sand there is a place called Neverland. Stay a while. Stick your toes in the sand and say, at least for a day. Isn't life grand!

    Sit on the bench in the little park at the end of Del Mar Avenue:) Go to the end of Orchard Avenue and walk down the stairs to the walkway at the bottom of the cliffs!

    Ocean Beach's only weekly dance party. Ocean Boogie every Saturday at Nick's By The Pier featuring DJs Unite and Peril. You haven't really done OB till you come down and get your Boogie on...

    Be sure to overreact about the "scary" bums and "weird" hippies. Eat at Hodad's, then go immediately to your car and speed back up north the coast.

    Tons of kelp washed ashore. Ignore the potheads hanging out eating bananas.
