We love Oceanside because it is very lively and there is a lot to do as far as family time. There are free parking options that require a small walk but nothing too crazy. There are plenty of hotels overlooking the water and restaurants with great views. Our favorite part is the pier where our children love watching people fish. This is a must try city if you haven't been before.

Wonderful long pier full of characters. The fish were biting and the 30 odd fishermen were pulling in mackerel. The stores on the pier are all closed and there is little trash on the pier, but it does have a dirty feel. We only saw one musician and no homeless, but there were a lot of surfers trying to milk a ride out of a flat swell. I'd recommend a stroll on this but if history.

Such fun to walk the pier and people watch!!!! I haven't been to Oceanside in a couple of years and when we got to the end of the pier and I saw Ruby's at the end of the pier was closed down. I was so sad...we had alot of memories there. However Harbor Fish and Chips at the Marina quickly became my new favorite and I wasn't disappointed.

This place is so beautiful! There is something for everyone including a playground for the kids, a bike path/ road right next to the beach to walk, bike to drive by. There is also a fishing pier, a dock for boating and the sunsets is just gorgeous as well! We spend 6 days here with family and couldn’t literally walk anywhere right from the beach!

Shiloh Klingenberg | Sep 22, 2021
Andre Ogden | Sep 22, 2021

I have never seen anyone get ticketed for having their dog on the beach but I would assume that the ticket would be between $75 and $150. It really shouldn't be that much. I used to run along the beach with a police officer and his canine. When I lived in Oceanside a few years ago.
