Ocean Beach

Ocean Beach often referred to as OB, is one of San Diego’s best beach communities. This funky seaside town sits between the Pacific Ocean to the west and the more upscale enclave of Point Loma on the hill to the east. Although Ocean Beach sits on prime waterfront real estate, the neighborhood still exudes a small-town atmosphere, making it an ideal place to live. Where other beach communities have embraced commercialism, Ocean Beach remains fiercely independent and skeptical of wholesale change. You’re more likely to see a food co-op than a fast-food chain. The Ocean Beach community is so tight-knit that residents often refer to themselves as OBceans, pronounced “oh-BEE-shuns.”
