This year, on Tuesday, November 13, from 5:00pm-9:00pm, the OB Restaurant Walk invites culinary enthusiasts to enjoy more than 50 food samples from some of OB’s best restaurants and breweries as well as explore a few participating local businesses and boutiques. You will also enjoy live music, face painting, and a magician while walking the streets of Ocean Beach. This is a great way to explore and discover places in vibrant OB that you may have never seen and to visit the places you already know and love.
This event sells out, so don’t wait – buy your tickets today at OBRestaurantWalk.Eventbrite.com.
Tickets are also available at the OBMA office, Bancroft Pet Supplies, Sunshine Company, Lucy’s Tavern, and Dog Beach Dog Wash.
A ticket allows you to enjoy the vibrant and colorful atmosphere of Ocean Beach while sampling delicious and craft food along the way. There will be a free trolley with multiple stops to get from one part of the neighborhood to the next. Proceeds directly support the OB Food and Toy Drive, which provides assistance to over 100 local families and seniors in need during the holidays, as well as the beloved OB Holiday Parade.
Thank you to this year’s participating restaurants, breweries, and businesses!

Sponsor the Pier Pancake Breakfast
The Ocean Beach Town Council is seeking Table Sponsors for the Pier Pancake Breakfast.
To become a Table Sponsor and purchase 10 tickets to the OB Pier Pancake Breakfast, please click here and submit your payment via online.
This event and the Toy and Food Drive are not possible without the generous support of our community sponsors. This is an excellent opportunity to showcase your support for Ocean Beach and market your business or organization to over a 1,000 local attendees.
The cost to sponsor a table at the OB Pier Pancake Breakfast is $147.20.
Table Sponsors will receive ten (10) adult tickets to the Pancake Breakfast, two (2) individualized table flyers on their table. (To reduce waste and your costs, we are no longer requiring our Table Sponsors to supply 8 laminated placemats. You and your business will instead be on display with our acrylic sign-holders and we’ll take care of the printing – you just need to send us your logo.)
Please note that seating is not reserved and is rolling for the entire 4.5 hours of the Pier Pancake Breakfast – in other words you can expect to have 30 – 60 different attendees sitting at your 8-seat table throughout the morning.
Table sponsorships are available on a first come, first serve basis – based on payment received and there are only 38 sponsorships available, so please secure your sponsorship today. Visit pierpancakes.com and select “Sponsorship Pack” from the purchase menu.

Thank you for your continued support of Ocean Beach!

How STVRs affect Ocean Beach:
Vacationers replace stable, contributing community members.
Long-term residents – people who care about the community and their neighbors – are displaced. These are people who support and enhance their community by joining the Town Council, coaching Little League, sending their kids to the local schools, etc. Renters are evicted or priced out of the market – whether they rent houses, condos, or apartments. The OB Planning Board has estimated that Ocean Beach is losing 8 rental units per week to STVRs.
The character of the community is damaged.
• Schools close as families with children are evicted, priced out, or leave in frustration.
• Churches, clubs, and other social institutions flounder as the balance tips from stable,
long-term residents to short-term, transient visitors with no stake in the community.
• Local businesses struggle as their residential customer base is reduced.
• Companies discover that their employees can’t find affordable housing.
The housing crisis gets worse.
Hundreds of houses, condos, and even whole apartment buildings in Ocean Beach’s residential-zoned neighborhoods have illegally been turned into short-term vacation rentals. These are homes that are no longer available for people who want to live in and contribute to the community of Ocean Beach. Investors looking to profit by buying up homes in our neighborhoods can offer cash or better payment options. Prices rise and the number of available units drops. It’s harder for everyone – would-be renters and
homeowners alike – to find and afford a place to call home.
PLEASE ATTEND THE NEXT OB TOWN COUNCIL MEETING ON JUNE 27TH TO FIND OUT HOW TO SAVE THE COMMUNITY CHARACTER AND LOCAL RESIDENTS OF OCEAN BEACH!
]]>Come out to show your appreciation and support for San Diego’s public service officials. Tickets for this informal “Taste of OB” brunch will be available at the event for $10 for adults and $5 for kids.

Thank you to the many OB businesses that are donating food to this event!
]]>We have invited all city council and district attorney candidates to introduce themselves to our community, give us some details on their positions on community issues, and answer a few questions. It’s important to note that this event will not be a debate but a chance for our community to get to know these candidates and make an informed vote at the primary election. Responses to questions will be limited to 2 minutes for each candidate, but we strive to allow for a quality dialogue between candidates and our community. We also hold the expectation that community questions will be phrased to be applicable to all candidates.
Candidates Jordan Beane, Jennifer Campbell, Bryan Pease, Daniel “Danny” Smiechowski, Kevin Melton, and DA candidate Genevieve Jones-Wright have confirmed their participation; We have not received confirmation from Councilmember Lorie Zapf or DA Summer Stephan.
Additionally, we are pleased to announce that San Diego’s new Fire Chief, Kevin Ester, will also be joining us at this meeting to introduce himself to our community.
