Fuel and Receipt

Gas up and get a receipt at the Mobil station at the corner of Sunset Cliffs Boulevard and West Point Loma Boulevard in Ocean Beach, California. It is less than 1 mile from the western end of I-8, and is very easy to find. It is a 24 hour station which produces valid gas receipts at the pump. This is only a few blocks from the Pacific Ocean, allowing you to get your sand & water samples pretty quickly.
