Ocean Beach Center (Isla Canela)

Ocean Beach should be a destination for anyone in the area whether you're native or from out of the area. One will find the typical laid back, beach vibe with an eclectic mix of people from surfers to tourists. Sunset is also a particularly…

Fantastic place to walk, eat, or just people watch. Highly recommend stopping by for the weekly farmer's market (every Wednesday from 4p-8p). The park has quite the "free-love" gathering every Wednesday as well, it certainly makes the pharrell busy and fun to walk around.

Wonderful little beach community in San Diego! Lots of restaurants, bars and shopping. Tide pools near the pier and a dog beach at the other end! You can also have fires on the beach in their respective fire rings!

Very busy, parking awful to find, and be careful they will give you a ticket!! Paid parking available. Some restaurants do not serve children after 6pm. Lifeguards are the best thing about this beach, truly attentive and busy. They will…

Nice and friendly people enjoying everyday simple pleasures of life on and off the beach. Tons of shops and restaurants to visit and enjoy. Just remember to wear you masks, cops are very active and are willingly giving citations

This area is very laid back/chill. Has a hippie vibe to it. Tons of cool shops and interesting people. Beach is nice and has great waves. Mostly surfers around here. Nice places to eat. Overall a no frills type of place. Also a dog beach adjacent to human beach. Enough said!

So many childhood memories the last time I was there in 1982 right before my father died I returned a few days ago with my children 30 something years later and it's still the same as I remember beautiful sunset beautiful beach beautiful people

America truly is great! Public, lifeguarded beach access with free parking. Families, surfers, swimmers, snorkelers, beachcombers gather at the seashore. Fire pits ablaze at night. Ocean Beach is the place to be

Really nice beach with a beautiful sunset 🌅 There are a lot of shops and restaurants near by, great place to hangout with the family.…

It's an extremely crowded, industrial feeling beach. The sand was kinda gross and smelly but it was also cool visiting the local businesses and the pier. Wasn't the worst beach I've been to but definitely not the best.

First time to that beach, and I would highly recommend it. The views were fantastic, the people were fabulous to everyone no matter what kind of life you're living.

Awesome beach. Bonfire areas very cool spot. Dog beach is well worth it very friendly dogs and dog parents there and dog friendly place to stay right there that offers a dog washing station with dog shampoo and towels. 👍👍…

A super pretty beach with lots to do in the area. Fun for dog watching too. It was the first beach I visited in San Diego. Definitely would go there again when I'm in town.

Great community beach, always special people around here. The beach and pier are beautiful, and you can bring your doggy friend :)

I’m 100% biased that this is the best beach in San Diego. My family is from here, so I’ve been coming here for 46 years. Grab a beer, grab some tacos, and walk the pier. Check out the tidal pools. Sit in the warm sand and listen to the…

This is great recommend everyone to visit. Beautiful sunset. Had a great time with a new forever friend Ritchie.

Beautiful beach with awesome views. I mean, how do you not five-star a beach like this. The tide pools are really neat to walk/hike through.

Enough room to social distance. We had a great time. Nice shops near the beach

If you're looking for a easy time on the beach, this is the place to be. There's a bit of parking for beach goers, but fills up pretty quick, so show up…

This beach is 24 hours swimming and surfing, don’t pay attention to googles incorrect hours. Nice waves for swim, boogie and surf! Heavy on the debris and kelp but still fairly clean and maybe not as busy as the other major beaches.
