Hippie Surf Van with Stickers
In the 1960s, Ocean Beach (known as OB by locals) became the Haight-Ashbury of San Diego. There is still a strong hippie vibe on the beach in OB, with an old VW van -- once operational -- but remains as a monument covered in stickers and graffiti.
It is located in a parking lot on the north side of Newport Avenue between Bacon and Abbott Streets near the famous Hodad's Burgers.
