Serving OB, the Peninsula and San Diego Beaches
Local OB historian Pat James took these shots of the old Plunge or OB’s first salt water pool on February 28th.
Turns out Mother Nature wanted to re-establish the old pool herself. So, here ya go, all you OB history buffs – the salt water pool re-birth.
This gallery is meant to supplement Nate Hipple’s post on the old salt plunge.
