You're in San Diego - why not some Mexican food?! Ortega's is a great local joint with a big menu, good value, and right in the heart of OB's main strip.

Juicy no-frills burgers. Cool vibe. Lines get long in the summer (and especially at peak times). You can order ahead, pick up your food and bring it home/take it to the beach to avoid the lines. http://www.foodnetwork.com/restaurants/ca/ocean-beach/hodads-restaurant

Sunset Cliffs lives up to its name - what a beautiful place to watch sunsets while walking along the wide open Pacific (and admire the nice houses). You can walk down to the hidden "no surf" beach for some tide pools and sunbathing a little more off the beaten path.

Can you think of anything happier than a bunch of dogs running and swimming at the beach? Go to the end of the main OB beach (toward the river) to hang at the happiest place around.
