I love being so close to the beach! There are so many opportunites associated with the beach, from water sports like surfing lessons and paddle boarding and beach side restaurants. I spend a lot of my time especially on Garnet Avenue, the main street in Pacific Beach. I go to school very close by, so after school I go to Garnet to study, do homework, workout, and spend time with friends. I feel very lucky to live in such a nice place.
I love living so close to the bay, I run there mostly every morning. The location is really convenient, close to the 5 and the 8. It has a reputation for being a really big party town but there is also a large number of people up and being active in the early hours of the morning with me so it's not just all partiers. It's one of my favorite places I have lived so far!
I absolutely love PB. I've been born and raised here, and this is a really special place. The beaches are great, everything is close enough to skateboard/bike/etc. around town and you'll often see people out and about enjoying the amazing weather. There's always something to do, day or night, whatever crowd you're looking for. My only complaint is the tourism which has continuously increased over the years, but of course that comes with living in a beautiful, beach-oriented area.
