One of my favorite beaches mostly because of the atmosphere, I often consider Ocean Beach to be heaven on Earth. That particular beach, one of many that is situated on the coast line and accentuated by palms, it spans as far as the eye can see in either direction. It has fine sand that is unadulterated by rock or sharp seashells. It just sinks between the toes as you walk, and, to make the moment perfect, there is a pier where watching the sun as it sets is totally unobstructed by buildings or mountains.
Even though the beaches close for the night and there is no camping overnight on public beaches, laying on the sand and watching the stars is a favorite pasttime of mine. I often dream what it would be like if each of those faraway spheres were alternate realities in which I was living a life totally independent of the one that I am now enjoying. I often fall asleep in the warm sand with those thoughts on my mind.
Nearby, there is a boardwalk in which shops and residences are strategically alternated. During the day, pedestrians, cyclists, rollerbladers, and surfers/swimmers take full advantage of the concrete walkway that is home to amusement parks, restaurants, stores and businesses. That is why I think it is one of the best beaches in the area.
