Oceanside Harbor Village is located on the south harbor. It has a small but very good selection of dining experiences from Italian, Mexican and classic American; all very good. There is also a boat rental business and is nearby to many hotels/resorts to the east and a fine public beach to the west. Very good way to spend a relaxing day.

I can never get enough of that beautiful Oceanside, Ca view...such a great creation of God, my Creator!️️️

Im not sure if the prices were high due to the location or Covid. Felt like the price and the quality didnt really match. The staff was so nice though. They went above and beyond to help. I think next time if we are craving surf and turf well just go to Joes Crab Shack.

Great little spot to eat or drink. They also have a few other shops that are fun to visit. Places are kept clean and staff is friendly every place weve been. Went on a whale watching trip that was informative and fun too. We come here pretty much annually. Love it here!

Took bike ride from inland to ocean and was hungry and thirsty when we arrived at harbor. Outdoor dining/ ating in effect and Blood Marys fulfilled the vegetable need. Also had order of two tacos which were excellent. Busy place even during Covid.

Beautiful settingMany choices for seafood restaurants on the pierIncredible sunsetsSandy beachesWalking or bike riding is easily accessible.No crowdsNo long linesPatio diningSea breeze

Staff was very friendly and there was safe social distancing! Lobster was awesome! Drinks were great as well.

Great experience kayaking with my wife in the bay. Was amazing to see the sea lions in the bay. Would definitely go back!

Great place to stay and camp. Has a store and clean restrooms. Boat launch. If you pay at 8pm you can stay til 8pm. Close to beach and harbor restaurants.Seals singing all night:)

Oceanside Harbor Village is the only happening place in town, although there are only TWO activities one can enjoy here: restaurants and the beach. My significant other and I had dinner and then we sat on a rock on the beach; as I was bouncing her on my knees as we were watching the moonlit waves crash on the sand, I said to her: hey, this is pretty romantic, to which she replied not really, its pretty windy and there is no one else around, which was true; so then I told her: well, I just moved here from Arizona, so to me this seems pretty nice compared to the dusty desert so thats about it--a few nice restaurants and the beach...

Very chill. Love the atmosphere here. Nice places to eat. They are follow COVID RULES And are very clean

Rolled up to Tonys Sports Bar & Grill for one of their legendary Bloody Marys at the half way point of a 35 mile bike ride. A great venue with a friendly staff and lots of fun energy. Maybe youll even meet Tony.!!!

Oceanside waterfront down the street from the main peer...where the slue runs out to the ocean.rocks waves seal and more. You want to walk the beach? Looking for that romantic spot. Here it is folks! Enjoy.

Fun place to walk around and stare at the boats. Not sure if many of the shops are open yet. It is Home to kens custom reels if you need to get a deep sea rig or get your rig fixed. Close enough to the beach to go for a stroll.

Nice place for walk. Enjoy the sand and listen to the waves. Weather was perfect

Best place to walk with familys or friends .OCEANSIDE has some things for everyone best place to live.

Ate at Oceanside Broiler. Great meal. Parmesan crusted red snapper and baby vegetables. Awesome. Waitress was really nice and very attentive. Manager was super as well. We will go back.

Great place to walk around and grab breakfast, lunch, or dinner with the marina as a backdrop.

Just stopped by The Broiler on a quick recommend by one of the locals for some calamari. Nice, quaint, people were nice, The Broiler makes some nice dishes, didnt feel overpriced. As for the harbor itself, lots of various activities, and the water looked amazingly clear for such a hot day. If you live inland, and are experiencing temps of 115F or similar, know that today was 119 back home, and the harbor was a cool 80 with a nice breeze.

Pretty cool little hang out with tourist trap restaurants and bars. Besides the skinny sidewalks and not so roomy passages to get to the shops and restaurants, the place is pretty cool to explore for an afternoon. If you have been to Huntington Beach or Laguna and expecting anything similar, you will be disappointed. If you want to find parking during the middle of week and go to the beach and hang out for lunch. This is the place.

There are unique shops and your normal clothing shops at reasonable prices. There are seafood restaurants.. Joes Crab shack is one of them. They also have a boat cruise to experience seeing dolphins and it was really cool. Kinda pricey at $44 for one adult for two hours...I suggest you take Dramamine before attending!

Beautiful place. The waves here are very big and great for surfing. The water is best in August. Lots of sea lions which are entertaining to watch. Cute gift shops and delicious restaurants. Public bathrooms also available and showers outside too.

Staff ok, food so so. Total pisstake that they have no restrooms. They said its Covid? So nobody needs restroom during Covid.

My sister who lives in Oceanside and i love the harbor. There is a restaurant we started going to because The Jolly Roger is closed now because of the CoVid virus. I guess it is part of the same restaurant group and so we went there. This was our second time there and we enjoy the views and the food! My sister enjoys a margarita, and i always get food that is very good! But the view is just GREAT!!!

A hidden gem in Oceanside. Great beach access, overnight RV parking, restaurants, shops, and places to walk and ride bikes. A fantastic place to enjoy the day

This is probably my favorite place in Oceanside! I love to go to the beach here, eat at Harbor Fish, shop at the stores, get ice cream after being on the beach. Something for everyone here! I love it!!

Parking can be a bit of a pain here but great spot to walk and relax. Definitely a must if you visit Oceanside.

Everything there is tasty!! Had chowder in a sourdough bread bowl!! Mmmm!! Fish n chips are great too!! Beer battered!! Daily specials!! Harbor side!! Beautiful view!!

An absolutely vibrant area with little trinket shops as well as some nice restaurants. I think its a good area for someone new to Oceanside to go to.

Nice place to sit and relax. I sometimes park there and just eat my lunch. You can see sea lions at night time.

Good place to walkabout and take in some marina scenery. Good places to eat. And the seal island is pretty cool.

Oceanside Harbor Village has its pros and cons. Sunsets are very beautiful, it’s a good place to do birthdays or get-togethers. They have a variety of different restaurants and shops. There’s also multiple places to take photos if you’re into that sort of thing. There are quite a few officers that patrol of the area. There is a police station over by the Jolly Rogers as well. There’s multiple places to go fishing, you have the little pier in the harbor, you have the two jetties, and then you have your option to do some deep-sea fishing on the charter boats. There used to be a lot of trash in the water, but the city put these basically floating dumpsters in the water which does an awesome job in getting rid of all the floating plastic. In the summertime it’s very very busy. Parking is hard to find, dining usually has a long wait, and you have to always keep your eye on your stuff, because people will take it in a heartbeat. In the wintertime it’s the exact opposite. There’s hardly a crowd, parking is very easy to find and dining is super quick. There are still leaves that will walk around, so always keep your eye on your stuff. For surfing, the harbor is a great place to practice. You have to be careful in the summertime as there are lots of stingrays around… Including jellyfish. Other than that it’s a great place to go for a sunset view or just to hang out.

Excellent..cant go wrong.Always the perfect place to take a nice peaceful walk.

Its got a real nice vibe! Back open now, which is awesome. Masks were quite prevalent. Social distancing with outdoor seating and masked servers was the rule at all restaurants and shops. Lunch at Stratford at the Harbor was 5 star also! Try the Mahi fish taco salad!! We were there on a Saturday and it was great.

Very relaxing place once you find available parking. Many great restaurants to choose from and enjoy that beautiful view while you eat.

Its right on the water Brian the owner and Coral our waitress was very attentive and friendly. My wife and I will look forward to going to the Stratford for breakfast and lunch every time we are in oceanside California. You wont be disappointed

I love walking through here and seeing all these little shops. It makes this harbor more unique and less of an everyday experience. Sometimes the walkways are a bit crowded but never enough to keep me from stopping by. Definitely a little tourist spot to check out.

There are several restaurants to choose from. We especially like Dominics. The harbor has a pleasant vibe with plenty of boating activity on weekends.

Friendly staff. Great food at reasonable prices. Wonderful view.

Loved our Friday night date at Oceanside Grill. Thank you Carly for being such a kind and generous server

I have been coming to Oceanside as long as I can remember. I didnt get to visit the harbor too often as a child though. I have been bringing my boys here to walk around, see the creatures in the harbor, and of course browse the shops and get the best icecream around. The harbor is always clean, albeit sandy, and plenty to see or buy. Some stores and restaurants seem to change regularly but I can always count on two places to get dinner and dessert. Fish and chips, and Nanas sweet shop. The two best reasons to make the trip to the harbor.

Great place to shop and eat. Very relaxed. Lots to do there as well, such as boat rentals and whale watching. Very close to a great family beach with great surfing. I miss it very much!

This place was awesome. Free parking. Close to our hotel. Wasnt crowded at all. Will definitely go again.

Quaint and festive with shops, restaurants, beach, boats and a lovely sunset.

Relaxing. good to get away and change the view. If your afraid of the (covid). than stay away! Cause hardly anyone wears that suffocating mask. More people die of the regular flu, and no one says a word about that. Enjoy your life, be smart, use common sense, keep clean and if your sick, take care of yourself and stay home.

Great place to people watch and watch seals play. Large number of restaurants

Free parking, easy walk to all things like restaurants of all kinds, ice cream, bars, beach is not typically crowded and very clean in this area and water is clear. One of our favorite CA beach areas!

Went here for a surf lesson with Heather. Shes an old friend. Actually, she used to work for my grandma as our (my sister and i) babysitter and surf instructor.Now im grown and I help out when im in town. Love the water. I hadnt been in there in close to 10 years i think. It felt great. Perfect weather.So funny story seeing a photo of the harbor. The fiance works all day. He also wears black. Im the opposite. I like black but im more about colors. These random people commented and questioned who wears black in 80° weather?!Well, I dont know if the stranger knows, but some people work and they have a certain dress code and some people dress the way they feel the most comfortable but either way...Place is completely crowded. Parking is close to impossible and if you ever need surf lessons call up Heather Pines. Shes amazing! You will be on your board by the end of your lesson!

Pretty spot with a couple of good seafood and patio seating areas. Great views

Great views of harbor. Large portions... Get there early lines start at 12:30. You can split fish taco platter. Very good food but pricey..

The crew was courteous and friendly. Saw a big pod of dolphins but, unfortunately, no whales.

Great atmosphere, definitely an Oceanside hang out. Lots to do. Parking is a little tough but worth it!

I spent day at the beach. Came into town by Metro Link. Access to beach by foot at my age was a challenge. Lots of steps. Ramps are available but they are twice as long as the steps. The weather was awesome. The beach was clean. The water was refreshing. Lots of lifeguards. Lots of nice people. Bathrooms were under construction. Portables were available. I would recommend for the fit. I think I have at least two more visits in me.

We go here every year! Good vibes, good food. We enjoy bringing the family!

Beautiful, just arrived. Its night and cant wait to see what the day has to offer

Dont like the added surcharge some of the restaurants add on. Not enough staff to service patrons efficiently. Not policing social distancing correctly. Dont like being harrassed by mentally ill vagrants while leaving the facilities.

Had three pieces of fish and coleslaw cursing had two pieces and some salad it was delicious

Quaint little area. Went to Harbor fishfish and chips and then nice walk to the beach. Kids loved looking at boats and the birds kept them entertained. The food was great. Service was very friendly.

Its a beautiful little Harbor, with lots of small boutique stores, cafes and Booth vendors. The Harbour Beach is within walking distance, and is a very clean Beach. You can go whale watching from here during whale watching season. Can be a little crowded at weekends, and parking is limited

This was fun. Ice cream shop was delicious. The restaurant we went to and for some fish and chips (fries) was amazing.

This place is GORGEOUS we went here for thanksgiving dinner since my husband and I don’t have any family in the area, and it was so beautiful. They had little Christmas lights everywhere and we ate at this cute little restaurant that kind of smells like a church.... But their Thanksgiving dinner was great!

We went for a beautiful moonlit stroll. The shops were closing for the evening, but it was great to see them open. Social distancing is required as well as masks if you go inside of of the businesses. Well be heading back to the Harbor to grab dinner this week!

Hit up the candy shop and get some Chilli Mango Taffy and some Key Lime Taffy awesome Flavor Explosion!!

Great place to paddle board, kayak or just walk around. People are wearing masks, plenty of places to choose from to eat.

Something different for us the food was made fresh and the service was great and the scenery was really nice

I love coming to this beach! I will sometimes come to relax with a cup of coffee from down the street and a book on my hand. Other times this is the starting point to a good run to the pier. I have also gone kayaking, had bond fires, and of course some sun bathing and enjoyed the sea. By far this is one of my favorite beaches to go to when I need to get away and have some peace and quiet.

JUST BEAUTIFUL TO WALK AROUND AND SEE ALL THE BOATS AND ENJOY SOME FISH N CHIPS

Enjoy walking in the early AM. Listening to the seals. Its especially pretty at sun raise or sunset. Plenty of public bathrooms & picnic areas.

Great place to take a walk and enjoy the views dog friendly. Lots of places to eat and Shop

It was the lack people who refuse to wear masks. Sheer arrogance, and it really puts a damper on a good shopping & dining experience. I feel bad for the businesses who have worked so hard and are subject to so many rules. We are from San Jose.

My wife her brother and I had a great day fishing out of Oceanside today. The boat was not crowded 15 people. The ride to our fishing spot was a bit long. 1.5 hours. My wife brother who had never been ocesn fishing before caught a double on his 1st drop. We caught copper and red rock fish. I caught a Vermillion rockfishAll of us caught Ocean whitefish. The trip was a blastMy brother in law said it was his BEST birthday ever. There are two sports fishing landings here so there are No shortages of rides. Try it highly recommended.

Love Oceanside Harbor! Dominics was wonderful again! Crowded. Ice cream parlor was great.

Oceanside Harbor is great place to go relax and enjoy lunch or dinner. Go to the beach take in the beautiful ocean sunset. You can go to the various shops. Rent a paddle boat, kayaks. Get in a workout or just have fun with family and friends.

Nice place to visit. Cant wait to go back

Nice place to walk around. Have a seat, walk or just roll in the grass.

Lovely place to stroll, people watch and dine at about 10 restaurants - for all preferences and price ranges. Its fun to check out all of the boat names (like Seas the Day or Pour Me.)The beach is closeby for a walk there, too. Plenty of free parking both in lots and street - maybe limited to a couple of hours. Closer to the beach, there is paid parking for day use.

Fish and chips, shopping, fresh air. Excellent place for sealife water excursions too.

Best fish around been going their for 40 years

Nice place to stay and enjoy! Wish it was a little warmer!

Beautiful, fun area! Plenty of things to do and see.

Enjoyed walking the harbor. Very clean

Awesome! Great place to go and walk around enjoy the view and walk on the beach, only a hope skip and a jump!

Wonderful! We love Oceanside? The Oceanside Broiler is our favorite restaurant

O-side harbor is a great change speed from the busy pier or main strip.

Although the Harbor Village is small, it is large with Life! Take small kids and enjoy the harbor and the shops. Spend the day at the beach and eat the Fish N Chips! Then end with the ice cream.

Their happy hour (11-6) is fantastic! You have to try the calamari.

Fun and there are some good boats that will take people out fishing. It is a great place to get a freezer full of fresh fish for the cost of one trip to the grocery!

A great little shopping and eating area. Its busy so if youre trying to avoid crowds pick earlier in the morning or later in the day.

Our favorite weekend getaway for camping and not to expensive..

Kind of run down. Definately good spot to cone into after the Sun and surf.

Best fish and chips around here. Lots of cool shops

Its a nice walk around the harbor. It was quite crowded on Saturday, unfortunately we saw too many without masks. There are a number of restaurants and shops. We picked up some icecream which was great.

Nice place to walk around. Parking is very expensive. Not good for jogging as place is small

Beautiful harbor. Very clean place. Cute little gift shops around the harbor. I would recommend to go to the gift shops. They have really cool and unique stuffs. I bet you, you won’t be able to stop yourself from buying anything. There a lot of eatery’s as well. If you like sea food then you have lot of good options to go. Clean, beautiful, small walk around the harbor. Oceanside beach is just a walk away from the harbor. So you can park your car at harbor or beach and can move around by walking. Which is quite convenient. There are enough places to free park your car. Good gateway for small vacation.

Went fishing out of helgrens on the Oceanside 95. Great capt and deck hands were great with the gaffs and the tangles. The bluefin were biting too

Rob and I just got back from Oceanside, California and I gotta say I was a little disappointed. But that could just be because Im from Oceanside and havent been home since I moved here to Arizona, 2 1/2 years ago, and couldnt believe what I was seeing. It used to be the perfect mix of home town and city life. But now,....forget about it! The harbor though is great, always has been, just now its packed full of people and a few of the cool shops closed down and for a small little area there sure are alot of bars/restaurants that took their place. Wasnt the same feel at all when I would just go and hang out, but still had a nice time. Theres clean bathrooms, a cute little gift store thats called, the Harbor Gift Shop, looks like a tiny little barn, a mom and pop ice cream shop family owned and operated, with lots of different flavors and they sell the older candies there too! Theres another shop that sells clothes and hats, then bar, restaurant, bar, bar. bar, restaurant bar, restaurant ....umm ...........BarHahaAt the end is a lighthouse. But dont be fooled its not a real one, and theres only enough room inside for two people and the clerk. Thats it. Seriously. No more room. Haha but I love it,..they have pretty cool things in there. Theres also a, um, what are they called.....? Ya know, those carts that sit in the walkway at the malls,....? Kă - ok something....or Ko,.....KIOSK!!! HA! HA!! Thats also a neat place to check out. Oh and a cafe at the very very end. I think its a cafe. Ive only got coffee there so I cant tell ya if they sell food too. I think they do. And if your wanting some really good sea food, then ya gotta go to Joes Crab Shack,......mmmmm ....so good. Not like how it is in places that dont have fish swimming right outside their establishment, {like here in Arizona. Joe tried, but the dang lizards kept chasing away the catch of the day! Snake! Haha--just kidding}Oh and theres kayaking. Not my cup of tea, but if its yours, have at it. Its the large bodies under the glassy top that makes me NOT want to be in something that looks like a gravy bowl. Dinner is served! HahaNo thanks!The parking isnt that bad, someone is always leaving so the wait for a spot to park isnt that long, and if you do, by chance, have to park a little distance away, the walk is nice.

Very nice place to walk around eat bar hop just a prices are way too high

Its the feel, the look and the smell of a real coastal town.. Loved it

A real-time clean place. Thanks Oceanside

Lot 12 is by far the best spot in the house!
