Costco to Host Book Signing for Ocean Beach Historical Society's Ocean Beach

Kathy Blavatt for the Ocean Beach Historical Society will be available to sign copies of pictorial history
 
SAN DIEGO - Sept. 8, 2014 - PRLog -- Ocean Beach, from local authors of the Ocean Beach Historical Society, boasts more than 200 vintage images and memories from the unique California beach town.

Ocean Beach, a neighborhood of San Diego, California, is known throughout the city, county, and beyond as a unique and quirky place with the feel of a small town, despite being a stone’s throw from the center of a major metropolis. Founded in 1887 in a coastal area known for its beautiful cliffs and rock formations, Ocean Beach went through growing pains in the early 1900s before establishing itself as a family-oriented, self-contained beach community by the mid-1930s. Full of mom-and-pop stores and very walkable, Ocean Beach is a favorite destination for thousands of tourists and San Diegans each year.

Highlights of Ocean Beach include:

·         Evolution of a California beach town

·         Cliffs, coves, caves & beaches

·         Fun facts & famous people

·         San Diego's first amusement park – Wonderland

·         Historic beach cottages

·         Impact of storms and high tides
