The Oceanside Harbor is a lovely and relaxing place to visit!  You'll find about two miles of sidewalk to stroll, which will take you around the entire Harbor. There are benches and picnic tables to do a little people, boat, and sea bird watching.  You'll enjoy grabbing a bite to eat or drink at one of the many beautiful Harbor dining options. Park for free along the road or in one of the many lots (mix of free and pay lots, check map below).  Enjoy the expansively beautiful adjacent Oceanside Harbor Beach!
