Mobile IV Therapy in Ocean Beach, San Diego
Ocean Beach was Mussel Beach until 1887, when developers Billy Carlson and Albert Higgins renamed it, cut it into lots and built the Cliff House resort, a venture that faltered because downtown was so far away. On July 4, 1913, the Wonderland amusement park opened on the north waterfront with roller coasters, dance pavilions and a menagerie, only to close by 1916 after storms and the pull of Balboa Park’s exposition. In 1966 came the 1,971-foot pier, then the longest concrete pier in the world; today it is closed to the public and planned for replacement. OB earned its nickname as the Haight-Ashbury of San Diego, opened one of the first leash-free dog beaches in the country in 1972, and in 2001 organized to keep a chain coffee shop off Newport Avenue, now the Ocean Beach Antique District.
