Born and raised Oceanside native. The city has made so many tremendous improvements from what it used to be. Walking distance to the north is the harbor which is a must see. Harbor fish and chips is the best! The filming of The Animal Kingdom in Oceanside. That Star theater is haunted, a historical landmark. Welcome to Oceanside! I hope you enjoyed your experience, blessings to you both!😉☀️🏄♂️🏖️🏝️ It gets hot here high 80s and 90s.
@@JoeandNicsRoadTrip Joe, I see where TH-cam has tagged your music, I guess to give the copyright holder acknowledgement. Does that mean you get none of the revenue from the video?
Love this video, really cool content, I drive thru oceanside all the time but don't have time to visit it like you showed in this video so I really enjoyed it very cool ❤ NICE hotel room wow 😊
Great video! You really summed up California life and captured the SoCal vibe.... here we are ultra spoiled by the amazing weather, epic architecture, beach to mountains in an hour and the AMAZING food!
Oceanside has a beautiful beach and a beautiful pier. Back in the 60's it was a rough Marine Corps Military town. Today--lots of good eateries and shops. Nice review.
Live about 15 miles inland from Oceanside. It is a great area. So nice to visit the beach towns, mountains, desert, city. Always something new to discover. Thank you for your amazing videos. Educational.
Lived in San Diego and Temecula for over 40 years, been to Oceanside only a few times during the summer with my kids and love it there. Grew up in Mira Mesa back in the 80’s, as teenagers we would either hung out at La Jolla or Mission Bay Fiesta Island with lots of friends building bond fires and BBQ. San Diego is so expensive to live and too crowded with lots of traffics. Last year I moved to a rural town in Texas an hour and a half from Austin, I’m retire and just love the peacefulness and the cost of living is much cheaper here. Thank you for the video, enjoyed watching and kind of miss SoCal but happy to be in Texas.
Lived in Oceanside in the 70s just like Carlsbad it has gotten to expensive and the smaller beach houses got mowed down for the big corporate hotels. Glad I lived in those two towns when I did! 🌴🌊🌊
LOL! $250 a night. I am the frugal watcher. That is so much for a bed! I do enjoy your videos. Lots to see and do there. Nicole! That's her name. Hello, Nicole. I'm Patti. Nice to meet you. Funny how we become Wifey, or the old lady, or whatever. Keep the videos coming and if you come through Central Il again message me. I would love to show you guys our small town.
Hi Lord Spoda Nice video. It's an extravaganza: both by the nature and human civilization. Drone shot added to the ambiance of ocean side. The background music in drone shot is equally cool. Enjoyed the video. Thanks for the same.
Another great video Joe, what a great place, love the drone shots, it gives you a great view of the wider area. Got to agree, loved the Sunsine Brooks theatre I just live art-deco buildings. Oceanview is well placed between San-diego and LA. Hotel looked nice you book a great suite. The pier may be long, but a bit boring when compared to Santa-Monica's. I see it's close to Camp Pendleton. It looks a great place to live. Glad you and Nicole enjoyed your stay. 😊👍
Fabulous !! Thanks for all you do- and HELLO Nicole !! u'all are havin a good ol time aint ya?- sorry, trying out my southern accent- which I dont have !- being an aussie ! but I have odd accent, due to having lots of friends from other places. I look all the time for your latest and sometimes, I watch/re-watch your old vids, due to the fact that they are my 'go-to' for relaxation & learning. Thanks U 2.
This Video Was Everything Thanks For Taking Us Along Soo Different yet very relaxing You Always do Such a Amazing job with the Videos I watch them over and over again God Bless you both Tell Nicole hello
Just wanted to say how much I appreciate your content. I recently found your channel and it’s so relaxing to watch after I get home from work, especially now that I haven’t had time to do so many impromptu trips now that I’m starting my career and not in college anymore. I can’t wait to get to a point in my life where I can take time and wander around the country seeing even the most off the beaten path parts of this country. I was always doing little trips around the Northeast when I was in school still given that I’m not the type of person to go tailgating or sit around, I miss those days very much, but I know it’s only temporary! Cheers!
Wonderful video. Such a beautiful town, blue skies and palm tree-lined streets. So much beautiful architecture, the theatres and the church were gorgeous, so much history there. It was a shame you couldn't go inside the Post Office, maybe next time !! The Mission was beautiful, and the bells and the choir singing were gorgeous, I've always loved church bells. Thanks for the hotel room tour, it looks beautiful. Thank you so much for another wonderful video, I enjoy them so much. 😊
Lovely hotelroom with oceanview. Appreciate the content in your videos - and very interesting with the information of povertyline, income, age and so on. Thank you both for your work!
I just discovered your channel a couple of days ago. Love it! I live in San Diego and am enjoying this video on Oceanside. Nice area! Used to be much more affordable until a couple of years ago. Covid made everything more expensive.
Place has been crazy developed, I live about half an hour away and used to frequent the beaches there. I actually like taking the Amtrak from Oceanside to LA for concerts.
Thank you for showing me the posh side of Oceanside. I use to pick up my son's ice skating partner on the poor side of town a few years ago. Big difference.
I spend time there when my brother was a Marine and I was in College at LA Valley College. I love San Diego too, but nobody I know can afford to live there, alone. When I lived in California (Southern CA - College (80-81) and Northern CAl - Work (98-99), the rents were so high that everyone needed a roommate. LOL.
Hi from a balmy South London, UK where the current temperature is 41. What a fantastic place to visit, when I was in California, back in 1981, I only managed to visit Venice Beach in Los Angeles and a tour of San Francisco, unfortunately I was on a very tight budget so couldn't head south, but still enjoyed what I saw. Next time Nicole wants to party don't forget to invite the neighbours from over the pond!
Although admittedly anecdotally based, my growing impression is that there are more foreigners who visit California than non-Californian Americans. A lot of prejudice of various kinds against it particularly among Easterners. Many have pledged never to go there. Vicarious viewing on occasion is OK, however.
Moved from Anaheim to Oceanside in 1991 when home prices in Oceanside were low compared to Orange County. We love it and yes the downtown is much different than in 91 but the vibe is still laid back. I walk The Strand a couple of times a week. Hope you had a chance to have a beer at Stone beer garden….very cool and ver6 local
Your SO Lucky, I live up in Wisconsin, all my life. Its about 20degrees right now, in January it hits -20 gets dark at 4:30 pm. We still have lots of snow but that will change later this month (hopefully!) I have never been to the warmer states so I Loved seeing this video, Thank You!
Your wife is lovely! I lived in Oceanside, on The Strand, in 1980. The city was gross, back then. Trash in the streets, especially downtown, lots of crime, intoxicated people all over the place. I don't think there was a public intoxication law back then. You couldn't go to a convenience store without getting propositioned - day or night- in or out of the store. I think it was U-Totem. Don't know if it's still there. That theater was definitely a porno place. I went there once just to check it out with my then husband. The apartment, on The Strand, was in an old structure from the 40's. We loved living right on the oceanfront. All those old building are now gone but it doesn't make me sad. Oceanside looks so beautiful now. Glad you guys had a nice time there.
Nice drone work, I really like the flight over the pier. Looks like you lucked out and missed the recent storm when you were in Oceanside, but I imagine it caught up with you at some point. (snow? in Huntington Beach?!) The Top Gun house is kind of cool, an interesting companion location to Kansas City BBQ in San Diego, which proudly advertises itself as the location of "the sleazy bar scene". The first taco you had looks like a quesabirria--yum yum!
We hope to get to explore the states like yall are someday. You see some amazing stuff. Those statues at the mission are awesome. Keep the video's coming. #swervycrew Ken and Vanessa
I use 2 live about an hour from San Diego & 5 miles from Huntington Beach. I bet that place was expensive W/D how awsum is that. Swimming is the best exercise & so refreshing too! U 2 cuties have fun & be safe.
Your comments about the trash really amuse me living in Bristol UK as your country seems generally much better in this respect. My wife every morning goes out early to clear dumped food waste butts and glass bottles etc before the schoolchildren come along. The average house price in our area is over £500000 and so very middle class. Like you I really despise the litter dumpers but I guess people who only think of themselves are prevalent in all countries ☹️ Working my way through your videos and they are a great insight into the US and the mindset of its people😍
I’d say anything that resembles a laid back beach town nowadays are on the central coast. Cayucos and cambria. Pismo, Avila, and Morro bay are insane nowadays. Montana de oro Park is a nice drive between them all once you’re up there.
We heard that Ruby's at the end of the pier had closed. That was one of our favorite places in Oceanside. The Maritime museum in San Diego is also a favorite place for us when we are in California. We always visit the military base also where my husband was in basic training for the Marine Corp.
Loved your video. Huby and I will visit in May 2024. I do not think that the Europeans discovered Oceanside. Native Americans were already there. Appreciate your hard work.
I live in and love O’side. The temps are much warmer than the 70s in the summer, not sure where you got that. Chill place and if you haven’t been lately you just don’t know. Hopefully it won’t get too bourgeois, we don’t need another Newport.
Wow $250. per night , when you gave a tour of your room my I figured even if it's and off season rate it would be around $500, per night. Not bad at all that was less than your hotel in Wilmington, N.C. Beautiful city.
Good evening Lord Spoda, and we are at the seaside! Nice pier, very Victorian type of thing that were made from cast iron in the UK but sadly not many left. City hall and library, this reminds me of North Africa and the Moorish style when I was in Tunisia back in 1970, very nicely done. Bet Sunshine Brooks theatre looks wonderful at night if the neon's are working, it has a full rib coming down and if they cascade it would be beautiful. The church next on the playlist, St Mary's Star of the sea is a classic design. If I ever get to that part of the world I'll nail a $100 dollar bill onto yours. The mission, no side pews, and pulpit to keep the punters focused and lots of icons. I do not follow any religion so each to their own but I like the architecture, and the sculptures are Grade A for artistic work. Worth a trip for the artwork. You pulled a rabbit out of the hat here as I had never heard of the place. Looks rather nice and I miss having a paddle in the sea. Be safe!
The only proper material for piers is wood. The Victorians were obsessed with cast iron with which they made many things for which it was inappropriate.
You know what SF, now that you point it out you’re right, that architecture is definitely Moorish influenced. Good catch. I don’t follow any religion either, the architecture is almost always interesting, though. 😀
Hey does he read comments? I think interviewing some residents in some of the small towns would be cool. I saw one where he went to a local winery and he spoke to the owner and he was happy to show him around. I understand it can be hard to find someone to interview or speak to about the town but when able to why not. Just a suggestion
Excellent video! Oceanside has a large Samoan population...in fact on July 6 Oceanside just celebrated its annual Samoan Cultural Celebration. California has the largest population of Pacific Islanders in the continental United States at 331,000 people. Only Hawaii has more Pacific Islanders at 381,000!
I rode my scooter from Carrollton to San Diego, up the coast to San Francisco, Nevada, Moab, pikes peak then home. 4100 Miles in 4 days. I loved the scenery in California but didn’t care for the high prices or the unfriendly people. My favorite part was riding Highway one along the cliffs but the gas was 7.50 a gallon

Ocean side is dope AF
Only beaches on the entire socal coast that charges for parking at the beach and has meathead parking lot maids.

Thank God they got those military grunts under control. No one likes them.
My birth town. My mother was a Marine.
Great video--thanks for doing this place.
You bet!
This is a gem . Your videos kept and keep me daydreaming
Live about 15 miles inland from Oceanside. It is a great area. So nice to visit the beach towns, mountains, desert, city. Always something new to discover. Thank you for your amazing videos. Educational.
Nice room and view.
Just love this. Just like I am on a scenic trip. Think we were here in 1948. Came down coast of California.
No Hotels. We had travel trailer.
Cool place reminds me of Spain 🇪🇸. Thanks from England 🏴

Oceanside was home early 70s while married to my handsome marine. Lived on beach just steps from the ocean. My how it's changed lol.

I spent about 2 yrs in San Diego when in the Navy, many moons ago. I forgot how beautiful it is.
I love my town of Oceanside!!!
Thats a nice room. Fun video. Thanks you two. You guys rock!

I lived there in the 80s and 90s and it was nice as it is here.
This doesn't even look like the Oceanside I lived in
UP THERE among TYLER of TEXAS and LAYFAYETTE of LOUISIANA as the nicest towns i have seen so far in your videos.
Thank you for sharing your tour of Oceanside. It's a beautiful city.
Next time you visit, stay at the Seabird Resort, 2 doors down. Its absolutely gorgeous. At least see the lobby.
Hotel is right there..... How can you tell? They all look exactly alike!!!!!!

@@JoeandNicsRoadTrip Yep, not sure if it will reopen.
This reminds of Tom Waits song: Diamonds On My Windshield.
"Oceanside, it ends the ride, with Sacramento coming up". 🤗🤗
Oceanside sure has come a long way in 25 years
⛵ As a yacht owner berthed at the Oceanside Harbor Yacht Club....I wouldn't exactly call it a suburb of San Diego 😝!!!!
👍Thanks. A uniquely designed city hall, that one ; almost belongs in a Sahara caravanserai-town-scene of a 1930s Foreign Legion movie. 👍
I’ve been to Oceanside but it was 30 or so years ago. Sure looks different
Was raised in Tustin. Many miles North of your location. Travel up PCH. Dana Point, Laguna,Corona,Newport and Huntington. Be prepared for traffic....😎
Loved your video. Huby and I will visit in May 2024. I do not think that the Europeans discovered Oceanside. Native Americans were already there. Appreciate your hard work.
I spent a week in Carlsbad in 1990 whe doing a west coast fly drive from the uk and it was amazing ❤
You have inspired me to visit the USA in 2023 with the wife, thank you!
I live in and love O’side. The temps are much warmer than the 70s in the summer, not sure where you got that. Chill place and if you haven’t been lately you just don’t know. Hopefully it won’t get too bourgeois, we don’t need another Newport.
I'm here for the thumbnail.
Back in the 60s and 70s, Oceanside was a sleepy little town where Marines went to party and cause trouble.
Wow $250. per night , when you gave a tour of your room my I figured even if it's and off season rate it would be around $500, per night. Not bad at all that was less than your hotel in Wilmington, N.C. Beautiful city.
Yeah, not bad at all. We paid more for the hotel in Yuma, and it wasn't on a beach!
Good evening Lord Spoda,
and we are at the seaside! Nice pier, very Victorian type of thing that were made from cast iron in the UK but sadly not many left. City hall and library, this reminds me of North Africa and the Moorish style when I was in Tunisia back in 1970, very nicely done. Bet Sunshine Brooks theatre looks wonderful at night if the neon's are working, it has a full rib coming down and if they cascade it would be beautiful. The church next on the playlist, St Mary's Star of the sea is a classic design. If I ever get to that part of the world I'll nail a $100 dollar bill onto yours. The mission, no side pews, and pulpit to keep the punters focused and lots of icons. I do not follow any religion so each to their own but I like the architecture, and the sculptures are Grade A for artistic work. Worth a trip for the artwork.
You pulled a rabbit out of the hat here as I had never heard of the place. Looks rather nice and I miss having a paddle in the sea. Be safe!
The only proper material for piers is wood. The Victorians were obsessed with cast iron with which they made many things for which it was inappropriate.
You know what SF, now that you point it out you’re right, that architecture is definitely Moorish influenced. Good catch. I don’t follow any religion either, the architecture is almost always interesting, though. 😀
California, been having some cold and rainy weather this year. You may have to come back in the Summer time.
I'm up north with a bunch of rain. Miramar is Top Gun. I was in VFA-113 sent a few jets and Pilots to learn there. Was a good time. Awe No Cats
You're right, I just realized I saw no cats there. Just dogs!

My brother lived here while in the Marine Corp. Then moved to fallbrook.
Dayum....she totally dissed you in front of Zoltar. LOL
I’ve been here 30 years and got kicked out of every bar at least ONCE. Most are all gone now though. Oceanside is a fancy pants town now!
One of my favorite destinations is the Cocoa Beach Pier Tiki Bar
Thank you.
Why don't you have a membership to get exclusive updates and travel. I'd join. I feel so good when I travel with you two.
jesus, there has been a lot of developement since i lived there in the 70's. the road along the beach used to just have some houses.
Oceanside has totally gentrified. Less then 10 years ago it was the one of the worst beach towns in Southern CA. Now it's really nice.
Is it super expensive, too?
@Willie Beamish One of the cheapest least affluent beach towns in SoCal which makes it very charming.
La Jolla is the most expensive place in San Diego county with many homes above 10 million dollars and it's more beautiful than Oceanside.
If I could live anywhere other than Texas, it would be Oceanside.
Thumbs up.
I rode my scooter from Carrollton to San Diego, up the coast to San Francisco, Nevada, Moab, pikes peak then home. 4100 Miles in 4 days. I loved the scenery in California but didn’t care for the high prices or the unfriendly people. My favorite part was riding Highway one along the cliffs but the gas was 7.50 a gallon

I had no idea you would come to my area, Head north and check out San Clemente.
