Ocean Park Motel, San Francisco

Ocean Park Motel, San Francisco by Todd Lappin

I live in San Francisco, and I've long admired the Ocean Park Motel, built in 1937. Located a block from Ocean Beach and the Pacific Ocean, the Ocean Park Motel remains wonderfully untouched by the passage of time.

Ocean Park Motel, San Francisco

About this place:

Still looking much as it did when it first opened in 1937, the Ocean Park Motel on 46th Avenue is said to be the first motel ever built in San Francisco. Today the motel remains architecturally intact, and it retains all of its Art Deco charm. It's also very clean, and just a block away from both the beach and the San Francisco Zoo.

    I live in San Francisco, and I've long admired the Ocean Park Motel, built in 1937. Located a block from Ocean Beach and the Pacific Ocean, the Ocean Park Motel remains wonderfully untouched by the passage of time. It's a clean, friendly place with plenty of historic character.

    During an October weekend in 2006, my wife treated me to a San Francisco beach weekend. So we piled into the car, drove 10 minutes west, and checked in to the Ocean Park. The weather was perfect, the beach beckoned, and the motel didn't disappoint.

    Simplest. Vacation. Ever!
