Oceanside Blvd - ramp to Buccaneer Beach

Highlight • Beach

Paved ramp makes the beach here accessible by bike. Or rather what's left of it: greedy housing development pushed so close to the waterline that at high tide there's no beach left.

Oceanside Beach and Pier

The best of Oceanside, ride the harbor and then down into Carlsbad. Flat with some traffic bit you can take the whole road since it's a low speed cruising area.
