Ocean Beach Recreation Center

Ocean Beach should be a destination for anyone in the area whether you're native or from out of the area. One will find the typical laid back, beach vibe with an eclectic mix of people from surfers to tourists. Sunset is also a particularly special time to visit. Watching the sun disappear behind the Pacific Ocean is always a treat. I will be back for sure in the future.

Wonderful little beach community in San Diego! Lots of restaurants, bars and shopping. Tide pools near the pier and a dog beach at the other end! You can also have fires on the beach in their respective fire rings!

Fantastic place to walk, eat, or just people watch. Highly recommend stopping by for the weekly farmer's market (every Wednesday from 4p-8p). The park has quite the "free-love" gathering every Wednesday as well, it certainly makes the pharrell busy and fun to walk around.

This area is very laid back/chill. Has a hippie vibe to it. Tons of cool shops and interesting people. Beach is nice and has great waves. Mostly surfers around here. Nice places to eat. Overall a no frills type of place. Also a dog beach adjacent to human beach. Enough said!

Very busy, parking awful to find, and be careful they will give you a ticket!! Paid parking available. Some restaurants do not serve children after 6pm. Lifeguards are the best thing about this beach, truly attentive and busy. They will notify u of rip currents and will direct everyone away. Do not swim in the surfing club area!! .. Lots of people doing yoga. Take a shade umbrella.
