Picture a quaint beachfront community with a near-perfect climate, artists, surfers, and a historic pier that runs 1,942 feet in length. This is Oceanside, California. Oceanside's harbor offers a boat launch, kayaking, and Jet Skiing. With six miles of beachfront, you won't have a problem finding a place to catch some rays or read a book. If you tear yourself away from Rollerblading, biking, or building sand castles, you'll want to visit the San Luis Rey de Francia, a centuries-old mission. Also nearby are famous attractions like the San Diego Zoo, SeaWorld, and more--all in addition to first-class accommodations.
