The Strand is a popular spot for all kinds of outdoor activities including walking, running, and biking. This long stretch will be busy so save it for a morning or midday stroll. Oceanside Pier continues to be a local favorite to watch the sunset from. This 1,942 foot long pier jets out over the water providing you with the ideal position to see the sun set. It is also a great spot for whale watching that is great for a visit in February. Additional areas in town for a romantic view also include Double Peak Park and Buddy Todd Park.

There is not a day that goes by when we do not wish for more lucky visitors to get to see the beauty of Oceanside. You will find that our greater San Diego community is always inviting and filled with fun along its beaches. If you are looking for the best lodging in Oceanside, consider booking a stay with us here at The Brick Hotel. We are a historic hotel with exquisite rooms that has onsite restaurants and lounges. We also offer a variety of vacation rentals, providing you with several options for your stay. There is no better day to book than Book Direct Day coming up on February 5th. This is a great day that showcases the benefits of booking direct with property owners rather than using third-party sites. Take a look at the many benefits of booking direct for your vacation rental or room:
Direct Communication with Our Team
Booking has never been easier, no matter what your destination. Technology has made it easy to simply do a quick online search, and many third-party services will pop up, showing you all the options available. Sure, these services are easy to use and can get you a rental booked in no time. However, you will find that booking through third-party services won’t include the many benefits of booking direct. The first benefit is the direct communication with your lodging supplier. When you book one of our hotel rooms or vacation rentals, you will have direct contact with our team. We are on standby to ensure your booking is done correctly and to answer any questions you have. This availability continues to the end of your vacation. When you stay at our hotel, it will be easy to contact the front desk. When it comes to our vacation rentals, just contact our service line and we will be happy to assist you. The option for direct communication is impossible when booked through a third-party service, which is just a middleman. Cut them out and use our direct booking for ease and efficiency.
The Option to Be Flexible
When you do not book directly, you will find it to be difficult to make any changes to your reservation. Third-party services are not always able to make amendments to your stay. This means you can be locked into your reservation even if changes to your vacation plans have been made. By booking directly with our portal, you can quickly make adjustments to your reservation. You can even contact our support team for assistance. Flexibility is an important aspect of any vacation, and third-party services are unable to support that.
Avoid Unnecessary Fees with Your Rental
You may wonder how third-party services are able to provide you with a service that showcases all the options of Oceanside. This is an expensive service that will need to be paid by someone, and that is unfortunately paid by the clients who book with them. You will find that a possible booking with a third-party service will have added fees to cover the cost of service. While you may be saving a few minutes, you will find that the cost of your vacation has just gone up. Our prices are always consistent in our portal and you will be shown all costs associated with your trip. Booking with our direct portal will save on your overall cost to Oceanside.
May Miss Our Favorite Properties
Everyone has a favorite and that continues for vacation rentals. You will find that third-party services often are unable to showcase some of the most popular rentals. This is due to the fact that the homeowner does not need additional advertisement for the property. The only exposure popular properties need is another booking that is sure to happen on its own. Our portal will showcase all of our properties so you will not miss out on your possible new favorite in Oceanside.
Options for Amenities
Third-party services do not work for our team and will not have knowledge on the different accommodations each unit can provide. Trust a knowledgeable individual such as someone on our team to assist you with accommodations for your booking. Our team can let you know if any accommodations that you may require can be provided. If they unit or property is unable to do so we will help you find the one that can.

Last-minute vacations can be difficult to figure out, especially when you are heading somewhere difficult to reach. Instead, come join us here at the beach by making your way to Oceanside. Our Southern California community is part of the greater San Diego region and will welcome you with open arms. You will find the perfect relaxation vibes. Take a look at what planning a last-minute Oceanside vacation can look like for you:
Beach Time All the Time
You simply cannot go to Southern California and not spend time at the beach. When you vacation to Oceanside, you will not be far at all from the beach. One of the many great things about Southern California is that the sun is always shining, and the weather does not change drastically between the seasons. That means you can always hit the beach no matter what time of year you are visiting. Our city is appropriately named, as it is located right on the shore, allowing you to get to the beach whenever.
Perhaps the most popular beach to spend your time at is Oceanside City Beach. Many locals and visitors all report that it is a very clean beach from the sandy beach to the clear water. Oceanside City Beach can get busy on the weekends, but parking is more available than you would expect. Lifeguards are on duty and always attentive. You simply cannot beat the sunset views as the sun drifts off behind the horizon.
Another great beach to visit is Oceanside Harbor Beach. You will be located right by the harbor allowing you to take in views of ships leaving and arriving throughout the day. There are plenty of shaded picnic areas and public restrooms.
Regardless of what beach you end up at you can always walk the shoreline for a romantic walk, head on over to the pier, or check out the local restaurants scattered about. Life is always best enjoyed when you are relaxing on a sandy beach here in Oceanside.
Check out Oceanside Pier
The Oceanside Pier is always easy to spot, so making your way to it should be a breeze. Regardless of what time of year you visit Oceanside, a stop by Oceanside Pier is sure to be a treat. This historic pier was originally built in 1888 (and has been rebuilt several times since then due to sea damages) and offers an iconic photo backdrop. Head out to the end of the pier to find one of the best fishing areas in the city. Local shops in the area will help you get all the fishing gear you need for a successful day of angling.
If you prefer to just watch, you will find the pier to be the best spot in the area for whale watching. Our ocean waters are known to be the home of dolphins and seals, but they spend most of their time below the water. Luckily, humpback whale and blue whales prefer to reach the surface to spout out water that is easily to see from the pier. This free activity will be a great way for your children to develop long lasting memories of your trip.
You can also check out the amphitheater located at the foot of the pier where some incredible concerts have taken place. Many of the citywide celebrations such as Cinco de Mayo and Juneteenth also take place at the amphitheater, putting it to use all year round!
Book a Room at The Brick Hotel
Perhaps the one stressful part of planning any last-minute trip somewhere is lodging. Luckily we have you covered on that front by making it easier than ever to find a room at The Brick Hotel. Our local hotel is found in a historic brick building that adds character and convenience with it being close to many of these Oceanside activities. We offer a variety of Oceanside rentals filled with unique amenities found nowhere else. In addition to the rooms, you will find the onsite restaurants to be a delight. Head upstairs to the rooftop, where you can find our popular Cococabana Rooftop Bar. The drinks are paired perfectly with the sunset views.
