MAKING MEMORIES IN 2023 - OCEANSIDE , Ca : “ It is said that Change is the Only Constant in Life, I came to California looking for love & even a wife; I landed in LA, lived in Valley Center, Fallbrook & Vista, I explored this new world while in love with a sista; I’ve traveled the deserts, the city and mountainside, But there’s no other beauty like that of Oceanside; I remember driving down Mission Ave and seeing the sea, I thought to myself, is this the next home for me? We looked for a place to rent, no place specific, Who would have guessed we’d live right on the Pacific; I got a new job, so in the daytime I’d teach, But in the evenings I’d enjoy long walks on the beach; I loved picnics on the beach, shoo’ing away the seagulls, After dinner I’d walk to watch a movie at Regal; Grabbin’ a brew at the Pub was always a fix, Then I’d take a long stroll down to tower 6; Coming from the islands, I enjoyed the sea here, Walking down to Ruby’s at the end of the Pier; This was my life for at least 3 years, Memories I’ll cherish and always keep near; “ • • Poem by : @kareempinkston 📍: Oceanside , Ca Memories of 2016 #kareempinkston

Walking along the pier, one immediately notices the laid-back yet vibrant atmosphere. Families gather to fish, couples stroll hand-in-hand, and surfers paddle out to catch waves that roll in near the shoreline. The salty breeze, the sound of gulls, and the rhythmic crash of the waves create an immersive experience that feels both calming and invigorating. The pier is particularly striking at sunset, when the sky is awash in warm tones of orange and pink, making it a prime spot for photographers and romantics alike. The surrounding Balboa Village and Fun Zone further enhance the pier’s appeal. Just a short walk away, you’ll find arcades, boat rentals, and ferry rides that connect to Balboa Island. The area buzzes with energy during the summer months, offering everything from street performers to local shops selling beach gear and handmade souvenirs. Despite the lively atmosphere, the pier itself retains a sense of calm, serving as a peaceful escape from the busier boardwalk.

Wow, it's cute but the charge was out of this world. A family of 4 cost us $100. This is not an upscale restaurant. It's good/ average food but wow. The entrance is on the left side. You can chose to sit outside, too. They serve burgers, salads, and shakes, and bottomless fries. Good portions but really quite average. Located at the end of the peer. They close at 8pm sharp. It's very small inside so if you have to eat outside consider bringing a sweatshirt in case it gets a little chilly outside since you're at the end of the pier. Service was friendly. I wouldn't recommend it as a must go. There was not much of an experience to be had. The establishment was surrounded by locals fishing so it feels crowded in the general area. A bit loud because of the amount of folks fishing. Its okay but not worth the fair cost.

Well... I'm not one to make a place seem bad but this may be the instance. It started with the drinks, no straws. Asked for straws and waited. Food came out and one of the orders was wrong. I asked for ranch and BBQ sauce did not get those until after the correct food came out. Asked for a refill and never received it. But the manager came out with 2 straws... Halfway through the chili fries I pulled out a string about 3-4 inches long and asked to speak to the manager. The waitress said...
