Oceanside, CA

Luna at the Oceanside Harbor

Luna and Cocoa at the Pier

Mission San Luis Rey

Oceanside Harbor


With the holidays fast approaching Luna and Cocoa have been busy with preparing for Santa’s arrival. New outfits, haircuts and manicures have been taken care of but they squeezed in a trip to Oceanside before all this pampering.
Oceanside is a small community 35 miles north of San Diego, is home to Camp Pendelton, has a delightful harbor, and the longest wooden pier on the West Coast, spanning 1,942 ft. There is a diner at the end of the pier, and one can fish or watch surfers catching a wave. About four miles east of the pier is Mission San Luis Rey, the largest of the missions in California chain and home to the oldest Pepper Tree in California.
Access to Oceanside is easy and varied with the availability of Interstate 5, the Coaster Commuter train that runs along the coast for some enjoyable views of the Pacific or one can even fly into Oceanside Airport.
