Best Shopping Malls, Outlet and Places in Ocean Beach Area

"It’s a rare phenomenon for such a sunny place, but it does happen, and it doesn’t have to be a vacation ruiner. Just visit somewhere like the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD). MCASD houses many different types of art, including paintings, sculptures, scrolls and 3D art installations that jut out from the walls and dangle from invisible strings."

"This museum has a few different exhibits rotating throughout the year and they make plenty of appearances on instagram. These exhibits have already left, but see the ones they have now here."

"One of the former navy buildings at Liberty Station has been adapted for this enticing food destination. Open seven days a week, 11:00 – 19:00, the Liberty Public Market is like an urban central market, showing off the best of the region’s wine, beer, fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, pastries, prepared foods, sauces and arts and crafts. It’s a place for people who are concerned about food provenance to do their food shop, but is also a must for on-the-spot dining, with a dash of pop-up eateries and stands."

"Kids can take their pick from empanadas, bao buns, tacos, or pizza followed by sweet crepes, cookies, and bubble waffles at Liberty Public Market, which also has an astroturf outdoor space with tons of seating. Kid-friendly restaurants Officine Buona Forchetta and Stone Brewing are just a short walk away."

"Tuna Dockside Market is a hidden gem - a pop up fish market on the pier between Seaport Village and the USS Midway, more or less, is a fishing pier where the local fishermen bring in their catch every Saturday morning from 8AM to 1PM. Everything here is fresh, there’s no fake prop fish or fresh frozen fish here. If you are on vacation it’s fun to see what the local waters have provided (and if you’re a local you would be wise to bring a cooler) and there’s always a stand there serving up ultra fresh fish tacos, typically two for $13."

"San Diego Itinerary Day three: Balboa Park and Point Loma Day three begins in Balboa Park, San Diego’s cultural epicenter and home to over 15 museums. Stroll around and take in the beautiful grounds, gardens, and Spanish architecture, and explore one of the museums if you’re inclined. My favorites are the Natural History Museum and the Museum of Man."

"This hike will take you through unique rock structures, and at the end, you can enjoy the sunset from the beach (a sometimes nude one). Don’t forget to check out the Mushroom House too while you’re there. More: Photo Guide to Hiking the Ho Chi Minh Trail"

"The Baked Bear offers gourmet, custom ice cream sandwiches in multiple locations across San Diego County. When the first location opened, there were lines out of the door and the concept has been a major hit ever since. The way it works is that you choose your delicious, decadent cookies (a flavor on top and a flavor on the bottom is even an option) and choose your ice cream."

"Pacific Beach/Carlsbad/Petco ParkWhat you're getting: Custom ice cream sandwich ($3.25-$4.25)Whether you build your own ice cream sandwich with cookies, brownies, or a donut, it’ll still ring in well under $5. Our pick is the cookie and brownie combo ($3.70), a delicious treat big enough to satisfy the sweet tooth of a bear under the influence of appetite-increasing herbs."

"If you’ve got a sweet tooth and like to Instagram your desserts, try Baked Bear!. They have the best ice cream sandwiches in town. These freshly baked cookies topped with delicious craft ice cream will leave you and your followers drooling."

"My favorite place in San Diego for cheese enchiladas and veggie burritos!. Been coming to Ortiz for over 10 years and they never fail to greet everyone wi..."

"Even though there’s almost always a line, it’s worth the wait. They offer unique flavors like candied pineapple and peach fritter, but the creme brûlée donut is easily the best, with an oozing custard filling and a perfectly brûléed top."

"On a normal day, the Donut Bar will have a line out the door, and it’s easy to see why. This is not your typical donut shop. Donut Bar is known for their unique display of donuts and a menu that changes constantly."

"I've been looking to try the donuts here for the longest time and Donut Bar did not disappoint!. Delicious donuts, great coffee, and great atmosphere..."
