Southern California Day Trips

Oceanside Beach California

Oceanside California has a wide sandy beach and is home to the longest wooden pier on the west coast. For many years a sign along coast highway advertised Oceanside with the famous words "Tan your hide in Oceanside" Today the city is replacing older buildings with high rise condos and upscale housing. Downtown is being revitalized with new shopping and restaurants.The best place to spend the day is at the 3.5 mile long beach or strolling on the pier. Oceanside Harbor offers day and half day fishing trips, boat excursions plus shopping and dining. Located in between San Diego and Orange County, Oceanside is one of best places to escape the hustle and bustle of the crowded cities of Southern California.
