The gentle ocean breeze, sounds of the surf crashing to the
shore, surfers, and bikini clad sun worshipers scattered along the white sand
beach make Oceanside, California a great beach destination.
Oceanside Beach |
A quintessential beach town along the California coast,
Oceanside has a lot to offer. The
classic wooden pier reminiscent of days gone by is a prominent landmark of this
friendly beach town. While there, make
sure you walk to the end of the pier to grab a bite to eat at Ruby’s Diner. The kids will love it and so will you.
Take a break from the beach and head inland to Mission San
Luis Rey, the largest of the California missions, or cruise the coast highway (Historic
Route 101) through downtown Oceanside.
Next, stop at Oceanside Harbor Village to shop, have dinner, or enjoy
the boats. We went to Harbor Village at
sunset and had some spectacular nautical views.
