Sightseeing

Love strolling the pier for the great view and fresh salt air Local fisherman are friendly and cast right off the pier. Beach is awesome for surf, body boarding or just spreading out on the warm sand for some free vitamin D. Farmers market is Thursday mornings and the sunset market is on Thursday evenings. Nearby restaurants, bars and Kens favorite “Cigar Grotto” where you can purchase cigars and watch sports in the back or catch up on local happenings

Harbor village has it all in one spot & more parking & sand then the historic pier. Beach, sea lions in actual harbor, equipment rental like kayaks & boats, shopping, souvenirs, restaurants, bars, you name it! We love fish n chips it’s been there since I was a child & is always best you’ll ever have. Lighthouse has awesome oysters & Rockin Baja lobster has best happy hour after a day in the sun ☀️

Ken and I met while both living in Carlsbad Village 💕 Smaller beaches but larger restaurant bars and shopping area while still walking distance to the beaches. Farmers market is on Wednesdays.

Food scene

Toré is always coming up with more exciting food combinations and the pasta is freshest in Oceanside! Wine list is impressive & is perfect for a romantic table for two or a birthday party for 20, we’ve been there for both. This is only 1 of 3 restaurants. His father Dominic has another in Oceanside harbor village “Dominic’s” (awesome pizza & gelato with a view) and his brother Faro owns Fallbrook’s best and newest addition to the restaurant scene “127” (lots of local craft beers and our meal was excellent) these guys are doing what they know best and we highly recommend all 3
