Ocean Beach
is located right along the Pacific Ocean, near the Santa Barbara Channel, just a few miles northwest of downtown San Diego. As a small community, Ocean Beach offers visitors and residents a quieter, less crowded place to enjoy the scenic beauty of the area, yet near all the conveniences of the big city. The town of Ocean Beach has its own unique style with shopping and dining opportunities, plus outdoor recreation like swimming, sailing, boating, fishing, and beachcombing. There are many parks and reservoirs in the region with hiking, biking and horseback riding, and San Diego County is home to over 90 beautiful golf courses. It’s also right next door to the entire city of San Diego’s world-class restaurants, boutiques, malls, historical sites and other attractions, such as the San Diego Zoo, Legoland and the San Diego Wild Animal Park. The Birch Aquarium is an educational and fun place to visit for both children and adults, and Balboa Park, in San Diego, has the largest concentration of museums east of the Mississippi. Just north of Ocean Beach is Mission Bay, with its colorful boardwalk and roller coaster, beach volleyball and surfing.

Ocean Beach Weather & Climate
|
|
|
|
Extreme Southern California, in the San Diego area, enjoys a beautiful, mild climate year round. January is generally the coldest and wettest month of the year, and August is usually the warmest month. In actuality, however, there is very little variation throughout the year in temperature in the coastal region, except when easterly winds off the desert pushes the temperature up a few degrees. The dry season runs May through September with very little measurable precipitation during this time. October is a transitional month, and is usually dry but can have variable weather. Fog and low clouds along the coast are common, but usually burn off by noon. A marked feature of the climate in this region is the wide variation within a short distance due to the topography of the area. Visitors can enjoy a coastal climate, mountains and desert all within a day's drive of each other.
