If you're feeling up for a beach day, head to the Oceanside Pier for some fun in the sun and sand.
Not only does the beach have incredible views, but there’s plenty to see and do here.
The pier measures 1,954 feet, making it the longest wooden pier on the west coast.
To give you a better perspective of how big that is, 1,954 feet is equivalent to about 1/3 mile long. We hope you brought your walking shoes!
With a salty breeze and magnificent ocean waves, the pier makes a great place to walk and see the Pacific Ocean from different lookout points along the way.
It’s also a popular fishing spot where you can spot fishermen catching a variety of seafood and fish, like halibut and mackerel.
When you reach the end of the boardwalk, there’s a nice surprise waiting.
If you’ve worked up an appetite, you can eat at Ruby’s Diner, a 1950s diner serving all of the American-style favorites - and it has the best view around!
There’s plenty of activities to do at the beach and the pier, like bike riding or taking a brisk walk up and down the coast and boardwalk.
It can be quite windy, so you might want to bring a light jacket along.
In the evenings, the sunsets are even more stunning as they illuminate the sky and accentuate the palm trees.
It might be worth it to stick around until the sun goes down to snag a picture of the amazing skyline.
