Latest reviews on Oceanside's beaches

Moonlight beach
1 Jonathan Roman

We drove over an hour to this beach late in the day. An aggressive Sheriff’s Officer kicked us out stating the beach was closed even though all posted signs and their website stated the beach could be used until 2am. Not worth the experience.

Oceanside City beach
8 Lena Nordstrom

This idyllic beach boasts a pristine and unspoiled environment, with a refreshing lack of crowds - especially during the quieter months of the year, such as January. For those who work up an appetite while frolicking in the waves, there are various food vendors nearby, although if these don't tickle your fancy, there are plenty of restaurants in close proximity. Alternatively, why not try your hand at fishing from the pier and catch your own dinner?
