SURF OCEANSIDE Referred to as “one of Southern California’s most consistent surf spots” by Matt Warshaw and William Finnegan in The Encyclopedia of Surfing. Oceanside is home to countless professional and leisure surfers and world renowned surf board shapers. With 3 miles of beautiful shoreline, everyone has their favorite spots to catch a wave. Always “a buzz” with activity, the Pier serves as a recreational meeting place for locals and visitors alike. Fishermen, surfers, and tourists, young and old, gather to walk the pier, play in the surf, or simply relax in the sand for an unforgettable sunset. Every year the pier draws over 1 million visitors to enjoy all it has to offer. The Pier Plaza offers a range of beach amenities that include everything from bike rentals and surf lessons to gourmet lattes and fresh squeezed lemonade. For a tasty treat don't miss Ruby's Diner located at the end of the Pier. Thinking about taking a surf lesson the next time you are in Oceanside? “One of my biggest tips for surfing is to relax” said Caleb Richter, surf coach at Surf Camps USA, “being comfortable in the water is an important part of surfing; standing up, the coordination and the timing of catching waves will all come with time.” Oceanside does not have a shortage of surfers. At any point during the day, at any time of year, you will surely spot a surfer in the water waiting for the next big wave.
