Ocean Beach Antique District
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ocean Beach, San Diego Antique District, located just west of downtown, is in the heart of this beach town marked by a large concentration of antiques and collectibles shops.
The antique district is located in a two-block stretch on Newport Avenue on the main street in Ocean Beach. The shops are within walking distance to the beach and the O.B. pier -- at the foot of Newport Avenue -- the second-longest pier on the California coast. Ocean Beach has been a destination for antiques since the 1980s but recognized by the city of San Diego as an official district in the late 1990s.
The district has been called an "Antique Row" by San Diego Magazine, as well as being listed as a "Favorite Resource" in Rachel Ashwell's book, Shabby Chic Treasure Hunting & Decorating Guide.[1]
