As Seen in Ocean Beach

Yes, I am STILL making my way through images from my visit to San Diego last year.

This post is about Ocean Beach. It’s a bit grungy, but still worth seeing and experiencing, especially since it’s one of the places in SD where you can see tide pools.

Palm trees line the main drag.

 

The Ocean Beach fishing pier is older than me!

The pier extends 1,971 feet out into the ocean. See those giant rocks? That’s where you’ll find the tide pools at low tide. If you’d like more info on the OB pier and tide pools, here’s a link.

I love kitschy souvenir shops.

There’s definitely a hippie vibe in OB.

Interesting mural for all seasons.

Hippies hate rules.

Sadly, I never actually went into a Belching Beaver.

If you’d like, you can see all the pics in a Google Photos album.

If you do visit San Diego, be sure to visit as many beaches as you can. They are all very different and have their own personality.

    1. The worst as far as street tacos eaten during that visit. 😉 Sorry that wasn’t very clear.

      I thought the seats were nifty, too. Thanks for visiting and commenting!

    1. Thanks, Lynne. As tide pools go, I’ve seen better in Northern CA, Oregon, and Washington. That said, though, I find all tide pools fascinating. It’s so fun to look at all the critters. 🙂
