On Saturday, July 1, the OB Pier Will Be Reopened

Ocean Beach Pier Reopens July 1, 20233

A message from the City of San Diego

We have great news to share! The Ocean Beach Pier is reopening to the public this weekend ahead of the 57th anniversary of the pier's grand opening on July 2, 1966, and just in time for the Fourth of July holiday!

On Saturday, July 1, the pier will be reopened following a six-month closure due to storm damage. It has been assessed and deemed safe for public access after City staff completed a few minor repairs.

Efforts to provide a long-term solution for the pier through a potential replacement are ongoing. For more information, please visit OBPierRenewal.com
