San Diego is often ranked as one of the most beautiful cities in America, with good reason. Lush hills, sprawling canyons, and lovely beaches make it a gorgeous tapestry of nature and culture, especially with old Spanish-style architecture dotted throughout and many old neighborhoods where the houses have a whimsical, funky character. Most who visit this wonderful city go to Sea World, The San Diego Zoo, and Mission Beach, which are all world-class attractions, yet visitors often overlook one of the best parts of San Diego where you can truly get a feel for that laid-back, hippie and surfer vibe that Southern California has been known for throughout the years. If you want the essence of this city Ocean Beach in San Diego is where to find it.
My name is William Suphan, and I spent the best part of my childhood in San Diego. My favorite place to go was always Ocean Beach. This was the late 70s when the hippie culture was still in full swing, and I adored it. In my adult life, I try to visit at least once every year, and I’ve seen so many changes over the decades. I want to share the best parts of it with you so you can experience the magic of Ocean Beach for yourself!
