The coastal town of Oceanside rests about halfway between Anaheim and San Diego. Oceanside, which locals affectionately refer to as O’side, borders the Marine Corps Base Camp Pendelton to the north as well as Carlsbad and Legoland to the south. The ocean plays a large role in O’side life. Whale watching from a boat, fishing off the Oceanside Pier, and swimming at Harbor Beach are all O’side staples. Surfing is also a major draw, with the California Surf Museum located in town. Should you tire of the ocean, Anza-Borrego Desert State Park is less than a two-hour drive away.
Cultural amenities abound in O’side, with Mission San Luis Rey, Oceanside Museum of Art, and the Star Theatre all within city limits. Hikers take to the trails in Guajome Regional Park and bikers to the San Luis Rey River Trail. Golfers practice their swings at Oceanside and Arrowood Golf Courses. Sports fans cheer on the Padres and the Chargers while shoppers celebrate the options at El Camino North Shopping Center.
Access to I-5 and the Coaster commuter train make getting around from O’side a breeze.
