Monday at Ocean Beach



A photo shoot the other week took me back to Ocean Beach (or “OB” as the locals call it) for the first time in years. When it comes to San Diego beaches, this one probably has the most personality and is the least touristy of the bunch.



You can probably understand why NBC San Diego calls the OB Pier “iconic but beleaguered.”



The face carved into the rock below was probably made when the sculptor attempted to figure out when the Pier replacement project was going to actually begin.



Yes, graffiti abounds…



and the signage spray painted on the beach wall is completely ignored…



yet it is still one of the most quirky and beloved spots in our city.



Artistic touches of branding abound…



and you all know I love a good light fixture!



Shall I take my mother to her local namesake watering hole when she visits next month? What a photo opp that would be.



Not sure what’s inside but this place wins points with me just based on the entry:



Even advertisements are given the local “artistic” touch in OB:



And finally, it’s the perfect place to “dance like nobody is watching.”

There's always fun pics to be had in OB, for one reason or another.
