About this place
Added by Brian Heifferon
You'll feel like you're out of the hustle of the city taking in the sunset at OB. It's an easy meeting spot for friends, family, and large groups - you can take the N Judah all the way to the beach.
Yes, it's often cold in the city. So, what's the best way to warm up? Bring some blankets, a jacket or two, and come out to Ocean Beach to enjoy a bonfire, a sunset, and some quality time with friends. The fire pits are between Fulton and Lincoln. On a sunny day, get there early if you want to get an actual fire pit! Need to kill a little time waiting for the crew to show up, go for a surf or set up a volleyball net!

Fun bonfires
Fun place for bonfires as the beach is very big. Can get cold at night.

Great beach for bonfires
This beach is huge and has wide open sand stretches. Perfect for bonfires, surfing, and hanging out with friends.

Real cold the night I was at a bonfire, but that's what the fire and beers are for. GREAT time.

You can sometimes get the evening glass-off, so don't count OB out!

Dress warmly!! It can get pretty cold out there. Also, the Safeway right by the beach sells kindling and firewood.

There's a Safeway tucked in across the street from the beach at Fulton if you need any last minute supplies.
