There are so many reasons to visit Oceanside, it’s harder to find reasons NOT to visit. So, we found some. Don’t visit Oceanside if you hate fun. Don’t visit if you enjoy terrible food. And definitely don’t visit if you don’t like beautiful weather year-round, a stunning 3-mile coastline, the largest wooden pier on the west coast, a quaint New England-style harbor, world-class surf, and every kind of dining from street eats to Michelin stars.
