Ocean Beach strain

Description

Ocean Beach is a flavorful balanced hybrid (50% indica / 50% sativa) bred by Cookies in collaboration with Seed Junky Genetics. This strain captures the relaxed, breezy vibe of its namesake San Francisco beach with a sweet, tart fruit profile and a smooth, versatile high that blends uplifting euphoria with gentle body relaxation.

It’s known for its bright, social effects that promote talkativeness and creativity while delivering a calming undertone — making it ideal for daytime hangs, creative sessions, or easy evening chill. Buds are dense and resinous, often with vibrant green hues, hairy orange pistils, and a frosty trichome coating for strong bag appeal.
