Timeline
16:20
Walk down to Ocean Beach City Beach to find a spot on the sand. The beach is large and open, so you will have plenty of room to settle in and watch the sky change color as the sun dips toward the WSW.
17:20
Head inland to Hodads Restaurant for dinner. This place is very popular, especially on weekends, so be prepared for a line that can stretch to the street corner. Their signature surfing burger is a local icon.
18:05
Finish the evening at Ocean Beach Brewery. It is just a short walk from the restaurant and offers a relaxed spot to wind down after a full meal.
Local tip
Hodads is a local favorite but gets busy. If you arrive right at sunset, you might beat the worst of the dinner rush, or embrace the lively queue as part of the experience.
Check before you go
- Hodads Restaurant is open daily from 11:00 to 22:00.
- Ocean Beach Brewery does not list specific hours, so check the route or call ahead to confirm it is open late.
