Readers weigh in on Ocean Beach favorites With the economy beginning to show hints of recovery, it is still as important as ever to get the most bang for your buck when it comes to your important purchases. With value at a premium, Ocean Beach merchants get it, and they are working harder than ever to meet and exceed the needs and wants of their customers. Local business owners work feverishly to keep the bar high when it comes to quality customer service, and they strive hard to serve up the finest selections of retail products and to provide the most honest, cost-effective services your hardearned money can buy. We asked readers to pick the “best of” in the retail and services industries around Ocean Beach and residents were happy to reward their favorite merchants with a big vote of confidence. And who would know better than the folks who stroll the streets of our sun-drenched business districts every day, or the neighbors who depend on essential or whimsical services just walking distance or a short bike ride away? For local merchants, it’s all about building customer loyalty. For customers, it’s all about trust and being treated right — and with respect. Here, in The Peninsula Beacon Readers Choice Awards 2012, you’ll find the results of balloting
that cover the gamut of retail and service businesses in Ocean Beach. The results paint a stellar canvas of services and a host of health and beauty options that contribute to well-being and a sense of self-betterment. From the compassionate, caring dentist you entrust with that excruciating tooth pain to the outlet where you can scoop up the hottest, sexiest new skirt or high-heeled shoes — even the business that tends to your personal errands and annoying little details of everyday life you simply don’t have time to get to with your busy schedule — readers weighed in on the best of the best in our vibrant slice of America’s Finest City. The awards spilling over the following pages recognize the people and places that make our unique beach community what it is. The nominees and winners were chosen by our loyal readership, which we value so highly. Take a look inside at this year’s Peninsula Beacon Readers Choice Awards — a true insider’s judgment of the merchants and service providers who are the backbone of this exceptional business community.

South Coast Surf Shop Do you know what a quad surfboard fin is? Neither do we. We also don’t know the difference between a tailpad and a knee leash. That’s all surfer talk, and we’re just lowly newspeople, kind of along for the ride. On the other hand, the crew at South Coast can answer those questions and they’d be happy to sell you those items too, now that you actually know what they are. South Coast Surf Shop 5023 Newport Ave., Ocean Beach (619) 223-7017
On first glance, Miss Match may seem a tad, well, mismatched. The 3,000-square-foot store holds every type of style, from Bohemian and preppy to girly or tough. Store owner Tally Bercovitz handpicks every item in the store. It’s evident by her selections that Tally keeps stylish, budget-conscious ladies of all generations in mind. Tally also has a team of fashionable females (and one cute pup named Buster) to help any customer find the perfect outfit for any occasion. Miss Match 4932 Newport Ave., Ocean Beach (619) 223-5500
AUTOMOTIVE PARTS & SUPPLIES
Auto Zone This tiny franchise is one of two businesses in a Cable Street strip mall, but it packs a wallop in terms of price, selection and convenience to the Ocean Beach community. Everything from after-market parts to decorative accessories is here, and there’s a friendly face behind the counter to give you change for the laundromat next door. Just ask. But be nice, OK?
