Oceanside Beach & Pier - Oceanside, California, USA
From a rooftop at the foot of the Oceanside Pier, in northern San Diego County, California, this camera looks out across the Pacific, with surfers waiting for waves on both sides of the pier and the beach stretching away below.
The pier reaches about 1,954 feet (596 m) out to sea. The first one was built here in 1888, but storms kept destroying it, and today's wooden pier, built in 1987, is the sixth to stand on the spot.
Surfing is hugely popular here, and on clear days the islands of Santa Catalina and San Clemente can be seen far out on the horizon, before the sun sets straight over the ocean.
Did You Know? In April 2024 a fire broke out at the end of the pier and destroyed the old 1950s-style diner that stood there.
