Oceanside Anchorage
✨ Hidden gem
Sitting 35 miles north of San Diego, Oceanside Anchorage puts you right off a stretch of Southern California coastline backed by a surf-happy beach town with a classic pier, decent restaurants, and easy access to Camp Pendleton's coastal scenery. The setting is open and breezy, typical of exposed Southern California anchorages, so expect some swell and plan your ground tackle accordingly. It's a solid overnight stop when you're working up or down the coast between LA and San Diego.
