  • A guided walking tour of San Diego's Ocean Beach neighborhood. Ocean Beach is a really funky beach neighborhood in San Diego that is full of hippy culture, flower power, and antique shops! We'll tour the Ocean Beach Pier, Ocean Beach's Commercial District on Newport Avenue, and finally the beach itself.

    I am originally from OB. Even though I moved when I was 8 years old. It still feels like home when I go back.

    • @jennylee9278

      I left in 2010 and am still homesick. I lived in one of those little cottages by the pier.

    I lived a couple blocks from the OB pier 1988-1990. Moved there straight out of college in Oklahoma! Just spent a couple weeks there in April with my wife who had never been. I have been to a lot of beach "towns" and this is by far my favorite especially if you have a beach loving pooch. Friday $1 oysters overlooking the beach and pier. Awesome! The Pacific Shores had $1 well drinks all day and night!

    I lived in OB for 3 years and loved it. I wouldn't describe it as a hippie town but it does have that element to it. It's more of a mixed bag of every kind and every age group

    • @jennylee9278
      @jennylee9278 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I used to go to the yearly Geriatric Surfers pancake breakfast on the pier. You can't beat $2.00 Mimosas. It was probably for a good cause but if the champaign is $2,00 a cup I'd drink to Stalin's birthday.

    Thanks for another great walking tour, Chris. You are to be commended not only for bringing us these entertaining presentations, but also for your indomitable and unsinkable spirit under pressure. Your courage to not give up on your traveling passion, and supporting your growing family doing what you love to do, and are great at, even in these trying times, is truly praiseworthy. 👏🏻

    • @YellowProductions

      Aww. Thanks NothingMaster.. I think that's the first time I've heard my spirit referred to as "unsinkable" -- reminds me of the game battle ship! As always thanks for the positive note!

    I tell people OB is where the Dead Heads meet the New Age people. I lived there back in the late 80's/early 90's. It's where I lived when I had my Native Californian. 😉 I've lived many places and always call OB Home. I miss it so very much. Thanks for the tour! (And I can't get a decent carne asada burrito anywhere else!)

    My second home. The Bullfrog Burrito was to die for at the now present Mike's Taco Club location. The Little Chef had amazing gyros back in the day. The black-lighted Pac Shores is special too. And don't forget Patsy Cline playing on the jukebox at Tony's!!! Peace out.

    6:33 - When I was a kid in the 70s, I used to go that movie theatre all the time.
    8:30 - Yes indeed, OB today feels very similar to OB in the 70s.
    10:44 - I discovered comics in OB! (Though that was like 20 years before Galactic Comics existed.)
    15:34 - For people with mobility issues, or just anyone who wants to avoid the staircase, there's a stairs-free access to the pier if you hang a left right after the South Beach Bar.

    As a lifelong OBecean, I wanted to say thanks for the video highlighting our little town. You would have really impressed me if you had mentioned that the opening sequence of the movie Almost Famous, those images are various spots throughout Ocean Beach and the very first dialogue when Frances McDormand's character is holding hands with her son discussing to Kill a Mockingbird was filmed in front of what was once The Strand Theater. I didn't hear you mention the farmer's market that happens every Wednesday, if you did, my bad. If anyone does go into the tide pools then please remember to enjoy what you're seeing but don't take any of the creatures when you leave. One other trick about Hodad's, to avoid the lines, you can get your order to go and make your way down to the beach to enjoy your food.

    I have been to OB a few times, taking the bus from Oceanside where I lived for 2 years. How I wish I could find an affordable room for long-term stay there. I am based in the Philippines for now, setting up my ecohome next to our city's ecopark (might do an "OB theme" for it). I hope to be able to be back in San Diego for some R&R.

    • @YellowProductions

    I really like how Ocean Beach does not have any chain restaurants (besides the Starbucks) to help out the local businesses. Ocean Beach looks pretty nice! It's too bad that the pier was closed that day, but I'm sure the views from the end would be fantastic!

    • @YellowProductions
      @YellowProductions  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah.. apparently the pier is closed for awhile due to repairs.. ya know. City repairs ain't the fastest thing :)

    *_Ocean Beach lies on the Pacific Ocean at the estuary of the San Diego River, at the western terminus of Interstate 8. Located about 7 miles (11 km) northwest of Downtown San Diego, it sits south of Mission Bay and Mission Beach and directly north of Point Loma. The O.B. community planning area comprises about 1 square mile (742 acres), bounded on the north by the San Diego River, on the west by the Pacific Ocean, on the east by Froude St., Seaside St. and West Point Loma Boulevard, and on the south by Adair Street._*

    It would have been even better if you could tell us why a certain portion of that pier is fenced off and the public is forbidden to go beyond the point of the fence.

    • @YellowProductions
