Oceanside Beach Fun

Oceanside beach weather is sunny and warm nearly most of the year, making it a popular vacation destination. Starting at the north end of town near the harbor and running south to the Buena Vista Lagoon, there is a whole lotta beach. It's a very popular place for surfing and body boarding, and around 15 competitions are held here every year.
Harbor Beach is on the peninsula strip located outside of the harbor. Here you'll find restrooms, a snack bar, fire rings and volleyball nets.
Breakwater Way is just south of that and also has restrooms and volleyball. At Pier View North, just north of the Oceanside Pier, there is the Oceanside Beach Community Center. They offer fun activities for anyone all year round.
On the other side of the pier is Pier View South, which is a much more crowded beach and where all the action is, such as surfing competitions. There is a pay parking lot. The pier is within walking distance to restaurants, downtown and surf shops. The strand is a mile long promenade along the beach, lined with palm trees.
Tyson Street Beach has a park and playground in addition to restrooms. Wisconsin Street Beach also has restrooms, but high tide can make this beach quite narrow.
Oceanside Boulevard Beach has no restrooms, and you park on the street. It is lined with oceanview houses. Then there's the very small Buccaneer Beach, which has free parking and restrooms and a snack bar across the street at a park with a playground.
Lastly, there's South Oceanside, a beach which features tide pools, a snack bar, restrooms and a playground.
