Pacific Beach is a neighborhood of San Diego, bounded by La Jolla to the north, Mission Beach to the south,
Interstate 5 and Clairemont to the east, and the Pacific Ocean to the west.
While largely populated by surfers and college students, the population is becoming more professional and
affluent due to rising property and rental costs.
It has its own business association, pier,
shopping mall, festivals and character and charm which make it a city unto itself, though technically it is not.
"PB", as it is known as by local residents, is also home to one of San Diego's more popular nightlife, with dozens of bars, cafes, and eateries lining the main east-west street Garnet Avenue and Mission Boulevard, which runs north-south.
Pacific Beach was developed during the boom years of 1886-1888 by D. C. Reed, A. G. Gassen, Charles W. Pauley, R. A. Thomas, and O. S. Hubbell. It was Hubbell who "leared away the grainfields, pitched a tent, mapped out the lots, hired an auctioneer and started to work." To attract people, they built the Race Track and San Diego College of Letters, neither of which survive today. A railway also connected Pacific Beach with downtown San Diego, and was later extended to La Jolla.
The hip, relaxed community of Pacific Beach boasts 40,000 residents and 1,200 businesses.
