I tried to locate it by the pictures that were on here, but they were wrong. After a long search that spanned about 2 days, I was able to find it. I will help you out, if you want to find it. It is located right across the street from 1083 Sunset Cliff Blvd. You can't miss it. Me and my assistant were able to find it in the dark. It is the one covered in bird crap. You cannot mistake it. There is a lot of places to park and get a good look. I would suggest getting there well before sunset because the parking fills up with all the sunset gazers. The rock had quite a few birds on it and is known as a surf break that produces 3 different waves. I do not know what attracts the birds to that specific rock. Some tried to explain it to me, but it was way over my head. I know that it is not much, but it is the little things that matter. It is not a long stop, but definitely worth a visit. A visit here should probably be paired with a visit to Sunset Cliff Park and a sunset viewing. I am really glad that I was able to make it here.

I always recommend doing a quick walk through to see all the options available. They have over 35+ vendors and a great variety of food from pizza to BBQ to ramen to empanadas to Latin to sushi and seafood. I tried Wicked Maine Lobster and ordered a crab sandwich with fries. This was the perfect portion and the crab tasted fresh, and the fries were perfectly seasoned.  The market has plenty of seating inside and outside. We opted to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful San Diego weather! The market is located near the airport and you can see the plans overhead. It was a little loud for talking sometimes but you get used to the plane noise quickly.   I always enjoy visiting this spot when in San Diego!

We ended up at Bonita Cove, which had plenty of free spots, but it's a quarter-mile walk to the beach. If you don't snag a spot there, you're mostly left with street parking along Mission Blvd, which feels like a bit of a gamble. The area around Belmont Park was extremely crowded, so our group headed north to find some breathing room. That turned out to be the right move--we had plenty of space to set up and enjoy the beach without feeling packed in. The beach itself is clean, with trash cans spaced along the boardwalk. Alcohol and glass aren't allowed, which helps keep things orderly. Lifeguards were actively patrolling the shoreline, which added a nice sense of safety. There are tons of shops, bars, and places to grab food, and the boardwalk is perfect for people‑watching. It's got that lively, classic SoCal vibe.

I love watching the sunset from OB. It never fails to be absolutely gorgeous!…read more When the tide is out, you can go tide pooling to the left of the pier, and it is always so much fun to discover sea life in the crevasses of the rocks and in the little pools. (The pier is currently closed.) The beach itself is great as well, for sunbathing, swimming, or taking a walk. There are also plenty of places nearby to grab some food. On Wednesday evenings, come by for the OB Farmers Market! At times, the area can be a little rough, but in ten years of living here, I have never had an issue. Lots of free street parking and paid lots as well. Peace.

It was painted in September 2022 by Aqua One Art and is 17 feet tall and 120 feet wide. It depicts San Diego's own Anchor Man character, Ron Burgundy, standing in water that comes midway up his torso, while a group of dolphins are jumping and playing right next to him. You also see a small sail boat off in the distance and a pelican sitting on a small pier. Aqua is a self-proclaimed graffiti artist. So, of course the mural has his, tag in graffiti lettering. I think he is much more than a graffiti artist though. I like Aqua's style. He seems to learn toward sea life a lot. This mural is such an odd pairing and it works for me. I could actually see Ron Burgundy standing in an ocean in his perfect suit with dolphins around him. Since this mural overlooks a parking lot, parking here to get a closer look is very easy to do. I just pulled into the lot, parked and gazed at the piece. Anyway, as with most murals that I have visited and reviewed, this is not a long stop. I was there less than 5 minutes. So, you may want to consider planning out additional stops at many of the other attractions in the area, or making this stop part of a larger itinerary to maximize your time and trip.

There's a pretty big parking lot which fills up quickly on sunny days, so get there early. 5 stars!

San Diego County Craft Brewery Road Trip Week!…read more When the beer nerd friend I homebrew with (& fellow Yelp Elite) planned a week vacation down in San Diego with the wife & kids, he asked if I might want to take that same week off & go down there too. Hmmm, a whole week of drinking beer at craft breweries all over San Diego County? Oh Hell yeah! & over the course of that week, I surely did drink an ocean of beer. That was the plan, after all. Packing on pounds of body fat from all those carbs, however, was not the plan. So I got out & ran a few miles every single day. Fortunately, San Diego has no shortage of beautiful places for a little bit of outdoor exercise. Ocean Front Walk is a great example. It's a nice, wide, paved path that runs between the beach & mostly beachfront homes/ vacation rentals. It extends in a straight line, almost the whole way, from the Southernmost end of Mission Beach to Crystal Pier to the South end of Pacific Beach. Surf, sand & multi-million $ homes were engaging scenery while running. But Ocean Front Walk is, in parts, a tourist trap. So there's also the wildlife that shows up out here. Tourists plodding along, on foot or on beach cruiser bicycles, make running here a little more like trail running. A lot of times, I had to dodge to 1 side or another, or quickly speed up, in order to squeeze by or get past clumps of folks meandering about. It was like a moving obstacle course made up of humans. Altogether, though, it made for a more interesting run by breaking up the monotony of a long, constant, steady pace. I guess that's why I also enjoy trail running so much. I liked running Ocean Front Walk enough that I came out here for my daily run a couple times during that personal San Diego beer week. I'm sure when I'm back in SD, I'll be back out here running too.
