Help Keep Ocean Beach Beautiful

See something in OB that needs fixing? Here's how to report it to the City of San Diego in about two minutes.

We care deeply about our beach town.

Ocean Beach isn't just a place we write about — it's home. Newport Avenue, Dog Beach, the tide pools, Sunset Cliffs and the people who make OB, OB. We want it clean, safe and beautiful for locals and visitors alike.

If you notice anything that needs to be taken care of, please report it to the City through the free Get It Done app or website. The City can't fix what it doesn't know about.
