Windansea Beach
If you like to surf and know what you're doing, head to Windansea Beach, 2 miles south of downtown (take La Jolla Blvd south and turn west on Nautilus St). If you can brave the ire of the locals, you'll find that the surf's consistent peak (a powerful reef break not for beginners) works best at medium to low tide. You'll find a more civilized welcome immediately south at Big Rock, California's version of Hawaii's Pipeline.

Dog Beach
The real action in Ocean Beach, of course, lies on the sands. Just north of the half-mile-long Ocean Beach Pier is the headquarters for the beach scene, with volleyball courts and sunset barbecues. Further up you'll reach Dog Beach, where pooches can run unleashed around the marshy area. A few blocks south of the pier, you'll find Sunset Cliffs Park, a great spot to watch the sun dipping below the horizon.
