15 Best Things To Do in Oceanside, California

Picture of Oceanside, California

About Oceanside, California


Settled in the sunny side of Southern California, Oceanside lives up to its name, sitting by the ocean. With over six miles of beach-filled goodness, the city is perfect for people who love being close to the sea. In fact, the pier is as old as 1888, giving the visitors an insight into the regionโ€™s history.

Although the city isnโ€™t as modern as some others in San Diego County, itโ€™s popular for having preserved its original touch, including the town square and museums. In fact, the Oceanside Museum of Art has been here since 1997 and exhibits the works of local artists in different mediums.

A walk through the region will make anyone feel theyโ€™ve time-traveled to a different era.
