Ocean Beach, a small
beach community a few miles northwest of downtown
San Diego. Ocean beach is about as unpretentious as
San Diego beach living gets. It's one of the few
places left in San Diego (or the rest of the country
for that matter) where the shops are locally owned
and managed, and there isn't a Baby Gap and a
Pottery Barn on every corner. Come and enjoy the
laid back life that ocean beach has to offer. |
