Harbor Beach

Oceanside’s largest beach.

Big, beautiful, and close to the marina.

Between the picnic tables, fire pits, and volleyball courts, Harbor Beach has that quintessential SoCal beach vibe. It’s a short walk to the shops and eateries at Oceanside Harbor, or you can bring your fishing gear and fish off the jetty. Guarded by Towers 12, 14, and 16, Harbor Beach is open for all water activities all summer long.
