Since the first lots were sold in 1909, OB residents have enjoyed taking walks and riding bikes to the beach to meet friends for coffee or a bite to eat. Ocean Beach was home to San Diego’s first large amusement park, Wonderland. Wonderland included 40 attractions, one being the largest roller coaster on the West coast, a casino, dance pavilion, a huge café that seated 650, it even included a zoo. It drew thousands to the beach every week. The Ocean Beach Pier was dedicated on July 2, 1966. It extends nearly half a mile to where the water is nearly 20 feet deep. Today, OB still provides special events, like our Street Fair and Chili Cook-off, to attract many visitors from all over to our wonderful town. We are a community where so many love to be involved.
