Oceanside Pier

didn't go here

Too crowded, loud and pretty trashy.. both in people and in the area around. Unless you are looking for a party scene at a beach, you should head down south a few miles and get the beautiful, scenic, more relaxing, better quality food beach scene that makes Southern California surfer iconic beaches.

The bait shop on the pier is great- they helped us choose bait that would help my kids improve thei let chances of catching fish and even told us what spot to fish in - my kids caught four fish right off the pier and were so excited!!!

Walking after sundown and watching people fish off the pier was fun and very safe atmosphere.

If you park at a parking meter make sure you stay on top of your time, you will be ticketed. Numerous vehicles received tickets.

Go to Oceanside on Thursday evening for food festival and music - watch the sunset from the pier.
