visit oceanside collaboration

Discover three O’side inspired flavors from Handel’s celebrating the city’s unique and lively culture.

Handel’s Ice Cream and Visit Oceanside have teamed up to offer three delicious ice cream flavors inspired by the vibrant beach destination. The limited-edition partnership will launch June 1, 2024 at the Handel’s Oceanside location, just in time for the summer heat. This collaboration series includes unique flavor profiles fit for every customer’s taste, including richness found in the “All Out O’side,” fruity notes in “O’side O’riginal,” and nutty flavor of the “Think O’riginal.”

Indulging in one of these three delicious ice cream flavors is guilt-free since you’ll also give back to the community with each scoop! And, if you want to experience all three flavors at once, try the sampler option that includes the three Oceanside flavors, plus a bonus flavor of your choice.

Customers will not only enjoy a taste of Oceanside’s off-beat personality and classic vibe in every bite but will also support Oceanside’s coastal environment with each purchase. A percentage of sales will benefit a city project that aims to restore dunes to Oceanside’s coastline. Once prolific along the California coast, dunes are a proven best practice in natural sand retention. They also promote biodiversity and valuable habitat for a myriad of wildlife species.
