Welcome to Ocean Beach!When you reach the end of Interstate 8 and follow the sign that

says “Sunset Cliffs Blvd.,” you will find the eclectic little beach townof Ocean Beach, or “OB,” as named by the locals. This laid-backcommunity has the feel of a small town surrounded by a big city— or as “Obecians” like to say, “OB is an attitude, not an address.”Join in the fun at Ocean Beach!

Strolling down Newport Avenue (the heart of the business dis-trict), you’ll find everything from unique boutiques to killer surfshops — not to mention the largest antique district in SanDiego. Take surf lessons or rent a bicycle from one of the localshops. Look down at the sidewalks and read the personal mes-sages on the engraved tiles lining the street and you’ll read talesof a loving community.

For a real taste of local flavor, visit the OB Farmers Market,voted “Best in the State” by Sunset Magazine. Held every Wednesdayafternoon for more than 20 years, this weekly event transforms thestreet into a marketplace of fresh fruit, vege tables, fragrant flowers,handmade crafts, and delightful people watching. Whether search-ing for a local tavern or quiet café, you’ll find it in this beach town.

In addition to the entertaining business district, OB boasts someof the best scenery in San Diego. Awarded “Best Place to Watchthe Sunset” by the San Diego Reader, OB offers the exceptionalbeauty of Sunset Cliffs National Park and the longest concretepublic fishing pier on the West Coast, where locals and visitorscatch awe-inspiring views of the surf and sunset.

Traveling with your four-legged friend? You’re in luck. OceanBeach is also home to world famous Dog Beach, a leash-freeparadise for your dog. From there, take your dog to a dog wash,then stay in one of our dog-friendly hotels.

If you’re lucky enough to visit OB during the summer, you mayfind yourself in the midst of the annual OB Street Fair and ChiliCook-Off Festival on the fourth Saturday of June. This fun-for-all event features live music on numerous stages, arts and crafts,and lots of fun food. If you stick around for the fourth of July, you’llcatch the famous OB Fireworks.

Enjoy the friendliest city:At every turn, San Diego finds ways to live up to its name —

America’s Finest City — and nowhere in our seaside metropo-lis is that more true than in its bustling coastal communities.

With something for everyone, from art aficionados and wine en-thusiasts to club goers and history buffs, visitors can find it all. As San Diegans are well aware, our city’s neighborhoods havedistinct characters all their own. Ocean Beach is a world awayfrom La Jolla, which is a world away from Hillcrest. For thoselooking for a vibrant-yet-homey feel, head on over to Little Italy.This colorful neighborhood offers some of San Diego’s best Italianfood and friendliest Italian people, with lively events almost everymonth of the year. Visitors are almost guaranteed to find some kindof celebration here, be it the Sicilian Festival, the Gesso Ital-iano (Italian chalk art festival) or the Taste of Little Italy. For a lit-tle maritime history and great boutique shopping, visitors can’t gowrong at the Embarcadero. Get your exercise walking throughmuseums such as the Star of India ship and the USS Midwayand shopping at Seaport Village. A plethora of outdoor public artdraws residents and tourists alike, while the convention center is amajor hub for everything from industry conventions to the world-fa-mous Comic-Con. Nearby, there’s Balboa Park. Known as the“Smithsonian of the West” for its expansive assortment of muse-ums and cultural institutions, this gem offers something for every-one at places like the Old Globe Theatre, the Museum of Man,the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center and the celebrated SanDiego Zoo. The cultural celebration doesn’t end there. There isalso Old Town San Diego — the birthplace of California. OldTown is a colorful world of fun and entertainment, steeped in his-tory as the California cradle where the first Europeans settled. Thefinest in professional theater, artisans, galleries and shops are withineasy walking distance, with free live entertainment, mariachis,dancers, period-attire docents providing tours and more than 150shops, award-winning restaurants, 17 museums and historicalsites — all just a short walk from the San Diego Trolley TransitCenter. A stone’s throw from here is Liberty Station, another vi-brant and ever-growing community that was once the NavalTraining Center (NTC) — the heart of recruit training for the en-tire U.S. Navy. Today, Liberty Station is a civilianized communityof mixed uses, including a diverse and well-planned retail and com-mercial district, a promenade that now serves as a mecca for thecity’s arts and cultural interests, an educational district, a residen-tial district, a hotel district, an office district and a park/open spacearea along the boat channel. The NTC Promenade includes a se-ries of historic buildings being renovated for the display of arts,science, culture and technology. It houses theater groups, dancecompanies, museums, galleries and classes of many kinds.

Liberty Station: Then and NowIn 1915, Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Franklin D. Roosevelt first

surveyed San Diego as a possible site for the next Naval Training Sta-tion. Construction didn’t begin until 1921 and by 1923 the first recruitsarrived and a rich San Diego military history had begun.

During the war years of 1941-1945, the Naval Training Station con-tinued to grow to accommodate the need for sailors. With San Diegobeing home to more than a sixth of the Navy’s fleet, the Naval TrainingCenter has played a key strategic role throughout the last century.

Much of the richness of San Diego history can be found in the manyarchitectural influences on the former base. Liberty Station is an archi-tectural masterpiece of the Spanish Colonial Revival style. LincolnRogers and Point Loma native Frank W. Stevenson were commissionedby the Navy to create a distinctive style for the San Diego training base.Together they would create what would become the heart of the NavalTraining Center. Heavily influenced by Bertram G. Goodhue’s design forthe building of the 1917 California Exposition in Balboa Park, more than50 original buildings are restored today to preserve the magnificent workof a group of talented architects.
