Ocean Beach Pier


The Ocean Beach Pier is an important landmark for San Diego's Ocean Beach neighborhood. It juts far into the ocean from the end of Newport Avenue, Ocean Beach's main drag for restaurants, shopping, and strolling.

On the pier itself is open year round for strolling, fishing, and sight seeing. The shops, open only in the summer, include a small restaurant shack serving concession stand type delights, such as nachos, soda, even funnel cake.

Surfers abound beneath the pier, riding the waves of Ocean Beach. The waves crash on the Ocean Beach shores, where surfers and hippies enjoy a day at the beach or an evening bonfire.

The Ocean Beach Pier is a great addition to an afternoon in Ocean Beach, to be combined with the other surrounding sights and sounds.
