Point Loma & Ocean Beach

Where the cliffs meet the city. Our corner of San Diego, from the host who lives it — the food, the sunsets, and how long it takes to get everywhere.

The Neighborhood

Laid-back, coastal, connected

You're staying in Point Loma Heights — a safe, residential pocket minutes from the iconic Sunset Cliffs and the free-spirited energy of Ocean Beach. Old Town and SeaWorld are practically next door, and the airport is ten minutes away.

It's the rare San Diego location that's both genuinely central and genuinely calm.

Eat & Drink

Where the locals actually eat

Burgers · Since 1969

Hodad's

The legendary Ocean Beach burger joint. The bacon cheeseburger is a San Diego rite of passage — expect a line, and know that it's worth it.

Vietnamese · Pho

OB Noodle House

The local favorite that turns people into pho believers. Deep whiskey list, big portions, always buzzing.

Fish Tacos · On the Pier

South Beach Bar & Grille

At the foot of the OB pier. The mahi-mahi fish tacos are routinely called the best in the city — order them with a sunset.

Food Hall · Liberty Station

Liberty Public Market

Thirty-plus vendors in the old Navy mess hall — ramen, lobster rolls, empanadas, craft beer. Something for every mood.

Seafood · Since 1963

Point Loma Seafoods

The freshest catch in town, eaten on a deck overlooking the fishing boats that brought it in. Get the smoked fish sandwich.

Coffee · Arts District

Moniker Coffee Co.

The neighborhood's best espresso, inside Liberty Station's arts district. Perfect start before a cliffside morning walk.

Things To Do

Days that end at the cliffs

Golden Hour

Sunset Cliffs Natural Park

Sixty-eight acres of dramatic ocean cliffs. Arrive thirty minutes before sunset; at low tide, walk down to the caves from Luscomb's Point.

History · Views

Cabrillo National Monument

The tip of the peninsula: the 1855 lighthouse, sweeping harbor views, and tide pools teeming with sea stars and anemones at low tide.

Classic SoCal

OB Pier & Newport Avenue

One of the longest piers on the West Coast, plus the antique shops, surf shops, and street life of Ocean Beach's main drag.

Bring the Pup

OB Dog Beach

One of America's first official off-leash dog beaches, at the river mouth. Your dog is welcome at the condo, after all.

Art · First Fridays

Liberty Station Arts District

A former Navy training base turned arts hub — galleries, studios, and First Friday art walks every month.

Wednesdays

OB Farmers Market

Newport Avenue closes for produce, street food, and live music. Peak Ocean Beach energy, every Wednesday afternoon.
