Like most of us, hard-working Americans chances are you measure the passing of time with the holidays that give you free time, rest, and relaxation you so desperately need. Starting the year out with New Year’s Day and ending it with Christmas (not everyone gets New Year’s Eve off!) we move steadily forward, planning how to celebrate, how to relax, and whether or not this next holiday will be the one you choose to use as part of your annual family vacation, especially during the summer months! And because 2022 has given us the bonus of an extra 3-day weekend with the 4th of July falling on a Monday, many travelers are making their way to Oceanside to celebrate in all the right all-American ways, starting by choosing the Brick Hotel to shelter them during their patriotic festivities! This guide to all you can expect from an Oceanside 4th of July celebration comes just in time to reserve your favorite holiday hideaway, so read fast and click book now soon or you may have to wait another year to experience paradise on Independence Day!
Watch the Sunrise Over the Sea
Our forefathers sacrificed everything so we could enjoy the simple beauty of a sunrise over the sea in freedom and peace and if you have never witnessed what is surely Mother Nature’s most spectacular display, your Oceanside getaway is the perfect time to do so. Head to the nearest beach in the pre-dawn hours and find your spot in the sand, watching the sky turn from inky black to dusky gray, and as the first traces of pink start to appear, the peace you find from this simple activity will serve as confirmation that there is no better place on earth to live and love. The sounds of the waves crashing against the sandy shores, the feel of sand between your toes, and the scent of the ocean tickling your nose is the best way we can think of to start celebrating the most beautiful country in the world! And when the sky turns blue and the sun is a bright golden orb in the center, no one will judge you for returning to your comfortable quarters in our Sandcastle Condominiums and climbing between silky soft sheets for a couple more hours of sweet oblivion!
Picnic in the Park
A picnic in the park is always a good idea and when you take the party to Buccaneer Park you can finish off your meal with a swim in the ocean that is just across the street! Buccaneer Beach and Buccaneer Park offer our favorite way to celebrate our nation’s birthday and we think it will be something that you will love as well. Let the kids play on the playground as you grill your burgers and hot dogs on the provided barbecues and spread out your Independence Day feast on picnic tables under the shade of the pavilions. Also offering basketball courts and an idyllic landscape, once the meal has been finished and all have been cleared away, you can finish your celebration with a dip in the sea. Buccaneer Beach is a small beach bordered by homes and large boulders and is the smallest beach that offers a manned lifeguard station!
Fireworks for the Win
The past couple of years proved that we could still celebrate the holiday, even without fireworks, but we are so happy that life is returning to normal and the fireworks displays are on once again. Here in Oceanside, we are celebrating on the 3rd of July which is also the 134th birthday of our coastal town and the show is guaranteed to be epic! Held at SoCal Soccer Complex at El Corazon, the gates will open at 5 so bring your chairs, your coolers, and your appetite for fun, but leave your pets and alcohol behind for this family-friendly event! Food vendors will be on hand to feed the hungry, live entertainment will keep you entertained until the big display begins, and a family fun zone offers inflatables for the kiddos! When the night skies turn that inky black all attention will be directed at the colorful explosions that take place overhead, making us all happy to be an American. And if you haven’t got your fill of fireworks at the end of this show, Lake Murray in San Diego (just 40 miles south of Oceanside) is offering their own Fourth of July celebration ON the Fourth of July, featuring live music, more great food, and all the fun you can handle!
