Oceanside City Beach Access, known locally as "The Strand," offers excellent access for both paddlers and anglers with a 1,942-foot wooden pier ideal for fishing and a wide sandy beach suitable for kayaking and paddleboarding.

The area features ample amenities including lifeguards year-round, multiple bathrooms and showers, small parks with picnic tables and barbecues along the boardwalk, and a nearby boat ramp at Oceanside Harbor for launching your own watercraft.

Parking is available in a mix of free residential streets, metered spots, and self-pay lots, though spaces are time-limited so check signage carefully.
