Please stop by and say, “Hi!” I’m looking forward to serving your needs for insurance and financial services
Welcome to Ocean Beach!
When you reach the end of Interstate 8 and follow the sign that says “Sunset Cliffs Blvd.,” you will find the eclectic little beach town of Ocean Beach, or “OB”, as named by the locals. This laid-back community has the feel of a small town surrounded by a big city — or as “Obecians” like to say, “OB is an attitude, not an address.” Join the fun in Ocean Beach! Strolling down Newport Avenue (the heart of the business district), you’ll find everything from unique boutiques to killer surf shops — not to mention antique and gift stores. Take surf lessons or rent a bicycle from one of the local shops. Look down at the sidewalks and read the personal messages on the engraved tiles lining the street and you’ll read tales of a loving community. You’ll also find an amazing selection of dining options, taverns and bars. And if you’re a craft beer aficionado you’ll be in Hop Heaven with numerous tasting rooms and 2 breweries. You’ll also find an award winning winery if beer is not your thing. For a real taste of local flavor, visit the OB Farmers Market, voted “Best in the State” by Sunset Magazine. Held every Wednesday afternoon for 25 years, this weekly event transforms the street into a marketplace of fresh fruit, vegetables, fragrant flowers, handmade crafts, and delightful people watching. Whether searching for a local tavern or quiet café, you’ll find it in this beach town. In addition to the entertaining business district, OB boasts some of the best scenery in San Diego. Awarded “Best Place to Watch the Sunset” by the San Diego Reader, OB offers the exceptional beauty of Sunset Cliffs Natural Park and the longest concrete public fishing pier on the West Coast, where locals and visitors catch awe-inspiring views of the surf and sunset. Traveling with your four-legged friend? You’re in luck. Ocean Beach is also home to world famous Dog Beach, a leash-free paradise for your dog. From there, take your dog to a dog wash, then stay in one of our dog-friendly hotels. If you’re lucky enough to visit OB during the summer, you may find yourself in the midst of the annual OB Street Fair and Chili Cook-Off Festival on the fourth Saturday of June. This fun-for-all event features live music on numerous stages, arts and crafts, and lots of fun food. If you stick around for the fourth of July, you’ll catch the famous OB Fireworks. Best of all, you’ll see this small beach town in full bloom. If you wish to sample Ocean Beach before your travels, visit OceanBeachSanDiego.com, where you can preview our little town through a live beachside webcam and find information about where to stay and where to go during your stay.
