If you read my most recent post (Ocean Beach Fishing Pier — The longest, second longest, and fourth longest pier on the West Coast), you might remember that we have five piers in San Diego County.
The Ocean Beach Fishing Pier is the longest at 1,971 feet. Not too far behind it, at 1,942 feet (or 1,954 feet, depending on who you believe), is the Oceanside Pier. It was built in 1888 at what is now Wisconsin Avenue but was destroyed by storms in the winter of 1890. It was rebuilt in 1893 in its current location at Pier View Way. However, the current pier, the sixth Oceanside Pier, was built in 1987. Mother and Father Nature keep destroying in with their winter storms.
Since I recently was in Oceanside doing a home inspection nearby, I took some time out afterwards to explore the Oceanside beach and pier.
I came home with some pictures that I really like, and since my wise old grandmother taught me to share, I’m sharing!
I always find beach-front homes fascinating, to see how individual people express their beach lifestyle.
The architecture includes small beach cottages built long ago to large two-story homes with interesting architecture.
I stayed long enough to get some sunset pictures.
