Ocean Beach Park is a mile-long public beach located within the San Diego neighborhood of the same name, which exudes a bohemian atmosphere and is home to a wide variety of delightful boutiques, taquerias, and brewpubs. The lovely beachfront stretch, which is broken up by a number of rock jetties, is home to San Diego's only 24-hour dog beach, which lets four-legged friends run and play off leash with their owners throughout the year. Park visitors can enjoy excellent angling conditions at the Ocean Beach Municipal Pier, located along the beach's southern end. The beach is packed with surfers and sunbathers throughout the summer months, with lifeguards staffed on duty during peak times. Other amenities include a beach volleyball court area, a restaurant, and a bait shop.
