Certified Farmers Market Highlights

Located in Newport Ave Shopping District and a block from the pier, the Ocean Beach Farmers Market features handcrafted, funky jewelry, candles, baby clothes, OB wear, and even NFL gear, take up most of the side lots. The outside perimeter will lead past fresh fruit and veggies, homemade baked goods, made to order crepes, East African food, kabobs, olives, nuts and dried fruit, smoked fish, fudge, and tamales. You will also find beautiful and reasonably priced flowers and some of the best hummus and dolma I have ever had.

The soundtrack for this experience at the Ocean Beach Farmers Market is a series of live local bands, endless chatter and bargaining, and children giggling on llama rides...yes, llama rides. The guy who does the spray paint "paintings" at the Cable end provides the rhythm section has he shakes his cans...and he definitely worth a stop.

While at the farmers market, visit the Ocean Beach Antique District a block east on Newport Avenue.
