San Diego, California: Ocean Beach Antique District; things to do

Ocean Beach Antique District  

4800-4900 blocks of Newport Ave., (619) 233-9020. 

A large concentration of shops in this two-block area specializes in American antiques, glassware, jewelry, and collectibles.  Parking is plentiful and free, yet it is very difficult to find a space because this area is also close to the beach.

Newport Avenue Antique Center  

4864 Newport Ave., (619) 222-8686.  More than 100 dealers are part of this large cooperative.  A coffee bar in the back provides rest and refreshment, and an adjacent customer parking area here is almost worth its weight in antiques. 
4926 Newport Ave., (619) 223-6170.  Open daily.  The area’s longest-lived antiques shop, this spot specializes in jewelry.

  1. I like the free parking spots, even if it's quite a challenge to find one.

  2. Sounds like a fun window shopping place. Unfortunately, as a downsized empty nester, I only permit myself to buy refrigerator magnets on our travels.

    1. My downsizing motto is something in, something out--preferably two somethings!
