What does Oceanside have in common with Coronado, Mission Beach & Imperial Beach?

Walk-out beaches! No towering cliffs here. The northernmost coastal city in  San Diego County,  Oceanside has become a haven for those seeking a big yet less trod upon beach.

Home to popular Oceanside Pier & Oceanside Harbor Marina, this affordable stretch of coastline offers roomy walk out beaches, great surfing, fishing and vacationing options, all in a laid back atmosphere. A proliferation of new businesses, luxury high-rises, and eclectic eateries continues to change the “beach scene” and provides something for everyone.

Both City Beach “The Strand” and Harbor Beach offer lengthy paved sea-walks, pay parking adjacent to the sand, several playgrounds, picnic areas, BBQ grills, fire pits, volleyball areas, restrooms and showers. Look closely and you may spot an incognito celebrity soaking up the sun…
