But for those who live and work in Pacific Beach, they know it\u2019s all about the fun & friendly lifestyle that makes this laidback beach community so much more. That\u2019s why we selected PB for our newest Downtown Works<\/a><\/strong> coworking location. Here is a list of reasons to love this incredible beach community as much as we do.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Once you make your way west of I-5 at Garnet Avenue or cross over the Ingraham Street Bridge, the sense of community is powerful. More than 1,500 small businesses support local residents and cater to the tourists who visit from all over the world. Established in the 1880s, the community grew exponentially after WWII. You\u2019ll still find smatterings of small beach bungalows on streets named after precious stones. PB\u2019s iconic Crystal Pier opened in 1924 and it\u2019s a great place to go fishing, watch a sunset and feel your stress just melt away.<\/p> Along with word-class beaches where fun-in-the-sun never ends, PB has miles of cycling, jogging, and rollerblading trails including the ever-popular Ocean Front Walk\/Ocean Boulevard Boardwalk<\/strong>. You\u2019ll find yourself competing with tourists especially on weekends, but it\u2019s all part of the beach scene that makes up the unique sights and sounds of PB. Of course, surfing and the surf culture is always at the top of the list for what makes PB special. Tourmaline Surfing Park<\/strong> on the north end of PB is an ideal spot to catch some waves before you head to work. You\u2019ll also find it\u2019s a great place for windsurfing and kiteboarding and in the winter months, tide pooling along the shore.<\/p> If walking trails and birdwatching are more your thing, Rose Creek<\/strong> is a well-kept secret in PB. It\u2019s a quiet and beautiful natural area that features wetlands and wide-open spaces that nature lovers adore. Rose Creek runs north and south and can be accessed off of Magnolia just south of Grand Avenue. There\u2019s also a variety of community parks and busy playgrounds like the one at Fanuel Street Park to enjoy with your family and friends. A little further inland is Kate Sessions Park<\/strong> up on Soledad Drive that offers breathtaking views overlooking the bay.<\/p> You\u2019ll find most restaurants, coffee shops, and businesses like Downtown Works are extremely pet friendly. Some even offer separate menus for your furry friends. For real socializing and exercising off leash, locals love Capehart Dog Park<\/strong> in the heart of PB.<\/p> Eating clean goes hand-in-hand with the physically fit, active and organic lifestyle here. Locals regularly support the Tuesday Farmers\u2019 Market on Bayard Street between Garnet and Grand Avenues where they can purchase a wide variety of locally grown fruits and vegetables along with meats, cheeses and all kinds of prepared items. They also enjoy local eateries that offer a farm-to-table experience like Our Green Affair<\/a><\/strong><\/span> at 980 Garnet, one of Downtown Works\u2019 favorites. Our Green Affair offers easy, affordable and authentically prepared fresh salads, bowls, soups, loaded potatoes and even desserts! It\u2019s easy to stay in bathing suit shape all year long with the variety of fitness\/health clubs, gyms and the Pacific Beach Recreation Center available for various classes and healthy activities.<\/p>7 Reasons to Embrace the Laidback PB Lifestyle<\/h1>
