Oceanside Beaches: Hit The Sand

May 2, 2012 12:11 pm

It’s all well and good to decide to spend a day at the beach, but unfortunately many of the best expanses of sand in the San Diego area are monopolized by massive crowds, boardwalk hucksters and a whole lot of noise. Luckily, Oceanside offers a a variety of places to enjoy a relaxing beach day without feeling like you're laying out in a sandy sardine can.

Surfers flock to the Jetties, also known as Harbor Beach, to catch decent waves in front of an appreciative crowd. There's plenty of parking as well as lifeguards, bathrooms, showers, and places to eat.

A few miles south, you’ll find secluded Buccaneer Beach, which is the most private beach in the area while still being easily accessible. It's the smallest beach in the area, but it offers plenty of fun activities either in the water or at the park across the street.

For a quieter beach that's family friendly, head straight to Breakwater Way. Located just south of Oceanside Harbor, Breakwater Way offers showers, restrooms, picnic tables and barbecue grills, as well as a volleyball court.

The boardwalk area by the foot of Mission Boulevard known as the Strand has a little more in the way of amenities, and is a great place for a morning jog before hopping in the water for relief from the heat.
