Vacation With Your Dog at Dog Beach; Free Dog Sitting in Ocean Beach

THE AREA:

Ocean Beach is a CENTRALLY LOCATED community of San Diego. It's just south of the Mission Bay channel entrance. The public beach is about a mile long with a volleyball area near the north end. The PIER is located at the south end of the beach and is available for walking and FISHING. Numerous restaurants, surf shops, ANTIQUE SHOPS, and
other commercial establishments are available near the south end of the beach. The north end of the beach is primarialy residential. One unique feature of Ocean Beach is
DOG BEACH, a beach area at the north end. This is a dog run area where dogs are permitted off-leash at all hours of every day. OB is a TEN-MINUTE DRIVE to Mission Valley SHOPPING malls, SEA WORLD, Balboa Park, San Diego ZOO, Old Towne, DOWNTOWN San Diego, Seaport Village, Petco Park, Qualcomm Stadium, and the main AIRPORT. It's 20 minutes to the Tiajuana border and 30 minutes to Legoland, the Wild Animal Park and several casinos. It is one of the last ORIGINAL SOUTHERN CALIFORNA BEACH TOWNS.

Ocean Beach as a community is very dog-friendly.  There are even some outdoor dining establishments that allow your dog to lie at your feet while you dine.  And there are some dog-centric events such as the annual "weiner-dog" races on Dog Beach.  There's a Farmer's Market every Wednesday afternoon and lots of community events such as kite-flying in March, christmas parade, beach-blanket bingo,and sand castles after Thanksgiving, etc..
