About Us

For 10 years, the Visit Oceanside team has been promoting our beloved hometown and all its quirky awesomeness to leisure and group travelers. We love O’side! And we’re proud that we influence about one-third of the $271 million that visitors spend in Oceanside each year, supporting nearly 3,000 O’side jobs. We operate the California Welcome Center, a one-stop shop for visitors’ travel, ticketing, and souvenir needs, and facilitate the Oceanside Tourism Council that partners with tourism-related businesses on issues impacting tourism and visitor spending, like group travel, public policy, education, and marketing. We’re all about creating a visitor-friendly community here in O’side and helping the world get to know our city as a premiere Southern California beach destination.
