3363 Ocean Front Walk

3363 Ocean Front Walk is the physical link in the lives of four individuals who crossed paths at the Mission Beach residence of Charles R. Magel, retired philosophy professor and animal rights pioneer.

Many days were spent surfing at dawn in front of the house, sharing waves, skating on the boardwalk, watching the sky change colors at sunset, and sharing vegetarian meals with the Professor.

The House, a classic San Diego beach shack built in 1954, had a living room view of the Pacific and breaking waves. It was a life-changing crossroad for many who entered its threshold and came to know Charley, discover yoga, vegetarianism, and a life-long relationship with the ocean.

The 92 year-old professor passed away, the old house has been demolished, and another piece of Mission Beach history has disappeared. Fortunately, the memories will be safe as well as a long lasting friendship forged by those wonderful days at the beach.

Surfing at the House

Early morning in MB

Living on the beach is the ultimate surfer's dream… the opportunity to ride early in the morning and late in the evening (all year around) offered the best set up I could ever asked for... Mission Beach became a classic stage for countless sessions.
