Enjoy an easy beach cruise, explore the historic pier area, or use it as a launching point for an extended ride to explore sights such as Mission San Luis Rey. We have several suggestions for a day of fun on two wheels.
Oceanside's picturesque location is reason enough to throw your beach cruiser on board and go exploring. If you just want to enjoy a casual ride along the strand, you can rent a Surry from Wheel Fun Rentals or fat tire scooter from Ride Oside!
