Serving OB, the Peninsula and San Diego Beaches
OCEAN BEACH. It is difficult not to be amazed by Jim Grant’s lens and the scenes it captures. Here are some recent December views of our ocean from our little piece of land.
Whether it’s Peace Rock or the cliffs at Sunset Cliffs Park or the OB Pier, Jim Grant’s lens seem to hold the magic of nature that surrounds us, particularly when our star glides into the ends of the earth.
Here, then is a gallery of the views that Jim sends us.

Great photo work. Awesome old hippie town that loves to pose.
Beautiful photographs. I didn’t think it was possible, but they make me love OB even more. :)
That’s a great shot but I’d love to see a more hi-res version; watermark it if you wish but wow….that’s beautiful! Such colors!
FYI…. My entire family are professional photographers and I’ve grown up around the medium. This is great stuff. :D
We’ll work on that.
This is the first of your work I have seen, Jim Grant.
Keep it up! These are stunners.
