Ocean Beach – South of Pacific and Mission Beach, this small beach town is a favorite among locals for its delightful mix of activities, including surfing, sunbathing on the warm sand and strolling among the many surf shops, eateries, eclectic bars and unique local boutiques. Pet lovers bring their furry friends to Dog Beach, wedged between the Mission Bay Harbor Channel and the jetty at the north end of Ocean Beach. Dogs are allowed to run leash-free to play with their canine friends in the sand and waves. Ocean Beach boasts a throwback vibe of vintage SoCal, coupled with friendly locals, great dining and microbrews, and a vibrant nightlife scene.
