The beach is located in the quirky beach town of Ocean Beach. There are many cute shops and restaurants nearby to explore. It is a more urban area with some grit so be aware that there are homeless people who hang out in the area in addition to artists, hippies, locals and vacationers. This beach has a pier that you can walk out on with nice views. It has a restaurant at the end. Many people like to fish off of the pier.

The Gaslamp Quarter is a lively downtown neighborhood, known for its nightlife. Clubs, dive bars and cocktail lounges draw a young crowd, while the Spreckels and Balboa theaters have diverse programs of music, comedy and drama. We recommend taking an Uber or Lyft there.

การเดินทาง

Beach parking is hard to come by

It is difficult to find parking at most beach spots. Show up early or plan extra time to find parking a bit further away from the beach and walk in.
