FARMER'S MARKETS
Best Farmer's Markets in San Diego!
Awesome farmers market with anything you can think of!! It's in the morning so plan accordingly 😌
Hillcrest Farmers Market
Always a good time at the OB farmers market! Be sure to get some fresh honey and try some of the food vendors. Afterwards is a drum circle in Ventrans Park and a Silet Disco on the beach at the end of Newport.
Ocean Beach Farmers Market
Always fresh selection of local fruit, vegetables, meat & seafood, baked goods, cheese, coffee, and tea!

WALKING TRAILS
Walking Trails with a view, because why wouldn't you in San Diego!
Gorgeous hike, beautiful beach and views. Very short and easy, definitely more scenic than anything.
Torrey Pines Beach Trail Loop, California
Really cool place to hike with several different routes for you to take from easy to strenuous! There's also a campground here, definitely worth checking out!
Mission Trails Regional Park
Pretty cool bike path that takes you from dog beach in Ocean Beach around to Mission Bay! It's clean and has a view of the river as you walk along it. Be mindful of bikers etc
Ocean Beach Bike Path | San Diego
BEACHES
It's ok. The beach is small and usually crowded. It's hard to find parking and the pier parking lot is sketchy. Dog Beach is recommended over this one.
Ocean Beach San Diego CA | Where the Sun Sets on San Diego
Love this beach. It's clean and beautiful. It seems to go on for miles. The water feels slightly warmer here but watch out for sharks, jellyfish, and sting ray!
