The Oceanside Harbor just south of has much to offer such as recreational boating and sportfishing, camping with picnic & BBQ areas, fire rings & volleyball courts, Harbor Village with a collection of specialty shops & restaurants. About a mile from the Harbor is the Oceanside Pier if you’re in the mood for a nice long walk while taking advantage of photo opportunities along the way.
To get to the Oceanside Harbor just take the I-5 & exit Harbor Drive, head West (towards the water.)
