Who discovered it? When was it settled? Why is fishing popular there?
The town of Ocean Beach was settled in 1888. Billy Carlson and Frank Higgins established streets in 1887. The area where they created streets was name "Ocean Beach". On July 2nd, 1966 the Ocean Beach Pier was officially opened. More than 7,000 people were present to such event, including California's governor, Edmund G. Brown who made the first cast from the pier.
