“Among the semi-precious streets of north Pacific Beach, Tourmaline Surf Park is a diamond in the rough. The parking lot is always full in a busy rotation of visitors and locals sizing up the surf. The soft, sandy beach is inviting, but the waves are the main attraction here. I keep an eye on the sunbathers. Love the festive atmosphere, but I miss the cervezas…” Sandbag C. Gull
