The Ocean Beach pier is one of my favorite, favorite places in all of San Diego. Why? Check out these photos!

The beach near the foot of the OB pier is a favorite place in San Diego for tourists and locals alike.

Loads of surfers are out on the Pacific Ocean on this perfect late summer day. The water is warm and the waves have nice form.

This guy caught one, and is riding it in toward the shore, just south of the pier. That low wall you see on the right belonged to the long-defunct saltwater Plunge.

Pick a wave any wave! The OB vibe is laid-back and life-loving!

Two surfers share a wave side-by-side. They went completely under the pier and came out the other side!

These fishermen at the t-shaped end of the pier are trying to catch bass, bonito, mackerel, or just about anything that bites!

When you stand at the very end of the Ocean Beach pier, you feel like you're far out on the ocean. I love it!

He's got a nicely sized bonito! Everyone likes catching this active fish closely related to tuna. It puts up a good fight!

  1. I miss fishing off the piers in North Carolina. We fished one in Florida too. The kids had fun and my youngest around 2 had a kid rod in Florida and dropped his line and it has 2 hooks and he brought up 2 fish. None of the rest of us caught anything.
