Why Ocean Beach? 

Ocean Beach is a unique beach destination, and hasn’t changed much since the 70s.  We call it San Diego’s hippie neighborhood.  You’ll find eclectic shops for vintage band tees, incense, crystals, and trendy beachwear.  There are many bars and restaurants in the area to visit before or after your tour, and most of them are laid back in nature, so you’re free to enjoy with flipflops and sand in between your toes.  Ocean Beach is also known for its live music scene, and it’s the one place where you can enjoy reggae bands and local rock bands at either Winston’s or The Holding Company.  The beach is perfect for surfers and spectators, and the long pier makes for a great walk with views of the San Diego coastline.  OB is located at the end of the 8 Freeway, making it accessible for those staying in Downtown or La Jolla, and its proximity to Sunset Cliffs makes it a great stop for shopping or a meal before winding down to watch the sunset. 

Diverse beer tasting experiences

Learn about Southern California’s strong craft beer tradition through a rich variety of international and local beer samplings. From pale ale to darkly rich porters to big beer flavors of imperial style, our local partners carefully curate an eclectic sampling of suds for an authentically San Diego experience.
