For Oceanside&#8217;s Harbor Beach, the Riverside Drive Parking Lot is also free and offers hundreds of parking spots to choose from. Both are under a 10-minute walk to the beach sand. We recommend dropping off family at the sand with your beach gear, then parking and meeting up.

With the arts serving as such a significant part of Oceanside, many local businesses have embraced it by commissioning murals to be painted on the sides of their buildings.<\/p>\n<p>Each mural emanates its own unique personality and flair that coincides with its location. Ranging from beautiful ocean depictions to flying pigs, Oceanside&#8217;s murals transform otherwise ordinary buildings into public art. By taking a short drive through downtown Oceanside many murals can be spotted from the car, but to truly appreciate them, we recommend taking a self-guided mural walk using the map with their locations below. Thankfully many are clustered together so that you can easily park and walk from one mural to the next.
