OFF CAMPUS — A blind nighttime stroll to the end of Saratoga Avenue in Ocean Beach finds the most ideal fire pit in San Diego. It’s just far enough from the staggering Newport mob to maintain a private fiesta vibe, yet close enough to gather a small crowd of eccentric OB street kids who might at any moment dance across the embers, break out in bonfire song or lay out a sleeping bag and pass the fuck out. Bring some logs to burn early; then, when the sun drops and the lifeguards pack up, break out the pallets to hurdle the sparks up to the stars. If you run out of things to burn, you’re just minutes from a packed bar. If you’re underage, go for a swim or grab a midnight taco. In either case, this cozy pit will soothe all Prop.-D nightmares and set the holiday spirit raging.
