If you're looking for a place that has it all, look no further than Oceanside. This coastal city in California is home to gorgeous beaches, top-rated restaurants, and plenty of things to do. Whether you're looking to spend your days surfing and sunbathing or checking out the local attractions, Oceanside is the perfect place to call home. Don't forget to enjoy a sunset stroll on the pier - it's a must-do in this coastal city.
I lived in nearby San Marcos for 6 months and visited Oceanside on several occasions as it was the nearest beach town.
Oceanside has a really nice beach with a beautiful wooden pier. At the very end of the pier, there was a Ruby's Diner with terrific oreo shakes, burgers, and wonderful views of the ocean. Sadly, it seems to have closed down permanently. I would still recommend the pier itself.
Other than that I often felt a little unsafe in Oceanside, with strange people moving around in town. And apart from the beach, I did not find anything enjoyable to do there.
Stop by the beach and pier if you are driving past, but for a proper visit, I would recommend La Jolla or San Diego instead.
