A must see and it's open 24/7 so you can visit anytime. Ruby's Diner is at the end of the pier and there is a bait shop where you can buy fishing tackles and even rent fishing poles. No license is required for fishing from the pier and the fishing is pretty good most of the time.

On the Northern tip of Oceanside beach, the harbor has restaurants, boat launch, pier, fishing & whale watching tours. You'll find about two miles of sidewalk to stroll, which will take you around the entire Harbor. You can rent kayaks and SUPs there also. The beach has shaded picnic area with bbq grills.

Food scene

Open year round every Thursday. In the morning the streets are blocked off for the farmer market and starting at sunset the night market begins with live music and a large variety of food stalls. Must not miss.

American Diner at the end of the Oceanside Pier. Getting there is half the fun and the view is never bad. Sadly Ruby was closed on 3/1/2021. It's a great space so I'm sure something else will open in its place. Stay tune!

Locally brewed craft beer and made from scratch food. A local favorite just a short walk from the house so you don't have to worry about driving if you inevitably like their beer too much.

If you don't have an Aldi store where you live then you must pay them a visit. Prices are shockingly low even when compared to Walmart. And since they are from Germany you can find some German & European items to indulge on the cheap. I hit this store first to stock up my fridge whenever I'm in town.

For the adventurous, you can try skydiving within a short 10 minutes drive. The view is unbeatable if you can stomach it. At least you can check it off your bucket list.

Witness nature wonder that only can be seen here!
