Pacific Street Linear Park, the one-mile stretch of broad sand beach located near the Oceanside Pier, is by far the most popular. There is a nice boardwalk and one-way street at beach level.
The Oceanside Pier has many activities and a great nightlife with an open-air stadium and a movie complex within walking distance. The California Surf Museum is located just up street from pier. Parking near the pier is often difficult on weekends.
A bit further south is Tyson Street Park, with Buccaneer Beach near Morse Street in South Oceanside.

Beach Information
Special Comments:
The Oceanside city beaches all share a nearly four-mile contiguous stretch of sand with many small stairway and driveway accesses.
Four blocks inland, South Coast Highway (101) parallels the beach for its length and features a wide variety of restaurants and shops. There are also several good restaurants around Oceanside Harbor.
Showers and restrooms are available at all main beach accesses, including Pacific Street Linear Park, Tyson Street Park and Buccaneer Beach Park.
