Ocean Beach, Coastal neighborhood in San Diego, United States
Ocean Beach spans one square mile along the Pacific Ocean, featuring a 1,971-foot concrete pier and numerous local businesses along Newport Avenue.
The area transformed from Kumeyaay fishing grounds to a planned resort development in 1887 when developers Carlson and Higgins established the Cliff House hotel.
The weekly farmers market on Newport Avenue brings together local artisans, food vendors, and musicians, creating a central gathering point for residents.
The neighborhood offers direct access to public transportation, with multiple bus routes connecting to downtown San Diego and surrounding areas.
The Ocean Beach Cottage district contains structures from 1887 to 1931, representing early California coastal architectural styles.
