Oceanside Beach and Pier

Highlight (Segment) • Beach

The best of Oceanside, ride the harbor and then down into Carlsbad. Flat with some traffic bit you can take the whole road since it's a low speed cruising area.

Oceanside Blvd - ramp to Buccaneer Beach

Highlight • Beach

Paved ramp makes the beach here accessible by bike. Or rather what's left of it: greedy housing development pushed so close to the waterline that at high tide there's no beach left.
