Oceanside--With  over 3.5 miles of white sandy beaches, Oceanside is the place for sunning, surfing, and sports.   Harbor beach alone offers more than 16  acres of clean level sand, and handicap “sand" wheel chairs are available for use at each lifeguard tower.

 

The Strand is the main road which runs along the beach front. There is some pay parking and also free parking at the top of the hill. 

 

Oceanside beaches are very special. A small town feel and relaxed atmosphere you usually won't experience in Los Angeles beaches makes you want to stay a while to enjoy the intimate, yet open feel of perfect spot on the California Coast. In addition to sand volleyball courts, you'll find over 50 fire rings available on a first come first serve basis.

 

If you breeze by Oceanside on the  San Diego 5 Freeway, you might not guess that such scenic beauty exists. Like so many coastal treasures, the freeway view offers few clues as to what is available beyond the exit ramps.  Many people have reported  passing through on their way to San Diego or Los Angeles, but never stopping to explore cities such as Oceanside and San Clemente.  Do it now. They are worth the time.
