Hungry after play?
Eat & Drink Near the Courts
Every worthwhile restaurant, bar and coffee shop within walking distance of the Ocean Beach volleyball courts — mapped, filtered, and sorted by how far you have to walk.
Three hours in the sand and you’re starving. Newport Avenue is a short walk inland, and it’s one of the better eating streets in San Diego.
Sorted by how far you have to carry your net. Fourteen of these are under ten minutes. Nothing on the list is much past twenty.
