If a Wednesday falls during your stay and you’re up for a short drive, the Ocean Beach farmers’ market (4 to 8pm) is a lively, well-loved local market in a neighboring beach community with its own distinct, laid-back character. It’s a good excuse to explore Ocean Beach a little beyond just the market itself — the surrounding streets have their own shops and restaurants worth a wander before or after. It’s further than the Pacific Beach option, so it works best as a deliberate outing rather than a quick stop, but it’s a genuinely pleasant way to spend an early evening if the timing lines up with your trip.
