Where is this beauty of a beach?

Is it Tenerife?

Is it Majorca?

Is it Sicily?
No, well, I think you know it by now, as I put it in the title and in the captions……it’s in Oceanside, California, which is just 45 minutes north or so of downtown San Diego. Â Oh, this beach is so stunning and one of my latest joys and discoveries. Â You can live by a place, but not even visit it or know of it’s beauty, until one day you stumble upon a part of it, and instantly think, wow, this is so beautiful, how could I never have visited this place before, or even known how beautiful? Â So, now, I go back to this beautiful beach as often as I can. Â Here are more pictures.
Beautiful park by Paradise on the Beach (that’s just my name for it) – it’s actually called Tyson’s Park – I believe.

A bit of color by the beach

Take a walk along the Pier

Especially on a day that’s perfect, and the sky is clear

Okay, the sky may not be that clear, but the day was perfect.

Here’s a view from the Pier

Back to the beautiful Pier

More of the beach

Guess what? Â There’s a restaurant on the Pier, and it was fun eating there, it almost felt like being on a cruise!


Okay, so I had to take a picture inside Ruby’s where we enjoyed lunch, but this one didn’t come out great, I wanted to show the view through the window

Back to the outside world and lovely Oceanside Pier again! Â Here’s someone else enjoying the view from the Pier.

Here’s more people enjoying the view from the Pier

What a beauty of a beach!

What nice waves you have!

What nice trees you have!

Chandi loved visiting Oceanside

I know these people loved the beach


I think anyone visiting would love this place

Life’s more fun with a visit to the beach. Â I hope the beach is within reach for you

No matter which angle you view it from, Oceanside Beach should be within your reach

Shade or no shade, tents or not

This beach sparkles

Where is Oceanside again?

It’s part of sunny San Diego, just 5 or 10 minutes away from Carlsbad, and 40 or 45 minutes north of downtown San Diego.


Oh, it’s so Oceanside!

By the way, Happy Labor Day!


So lovely photos. I am now on road trip in Finland’s Lapland which is far beyond the Arctic Circle in the North. My connections are not the best here, so I am not writing “long story”.
Thank you, Matti! I can’t wait to see your pictures of Lapland. I’m not on here that much anymore, so please feel free to email me and let me know when you have posted. Enjoy your trip, and take lots of pictures. Take care.
