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.

Good Ol' MB

Blue skies, crisp air and light off-shores greeted the coastal community of Mission Beach on Sunday morning. I celebrated such glorious day with a pleasant session at the old spot: 3363 Ocean Front Walk. I introduced the new egg to the old faithful sandbars of Mission Beach.
The houses lined up on the boardwalk were glistening in the sun. Lots of memories surfaced from the days spent between Kingston Court and Kennebeck Court. It turned out to be a fun session in waist-high mushy peelers.
