Im going to OB to become a beach bum.. Where is a good spot to sleep without getting hassled by the law out there?

I moved away in 2004. I've been back once since then. Of course, every morning I went to the 7-11 on Cable (?), and then headed over to the beach to sit on the rocks by the main lifegaurd tower. Sweet.

Native here. Nice vid. I couldn't agree more "

48 next month and I wonder if I'll ever get back to OB. I've got a long term traveling income. Anybody want to rent me a cheap place in OB?

well my adopted hometown...but just like they say, it's so chill, it's just it:)

i found o.b. by accident about a year and a half ago and i've never left or wanted to...i've not been homesick for my old home at all.

best place in the world.

p.s. i live just by the pier. i go out there in the morning with my coffee...what a great back porch.

Dude, I smoked all those guys out. It funny though, all the street kids usually rotate out of there eventually. But there are a few guys who have been there for many years... Gotta love OB. Best place in SD!
