A beautiful sunset for dinner on the pier at Oceanside. |
The trip out west was beautiful especially at sunset. The sunsets on the West Coast last much longer than on the East Coast as the sun sets in the West. Dinner at the pier was unplanned and could not have been better. It was the perfect view of the ocean.
I was visiting my son and other relatives in Arizona when my son and I took a drive out to the San Diego area for a few days. It was a 5 hour drive. We stayed in Oceanside, CA. It is the 3rd largest city in San Diego County, CA.
I found the sand to be softer here on the West Coast vs. the East Coast beaches. The sand was made up of smaller grains and appeared to be whiter. The boardwalk was clean and long along the ocean - perfect for long walks and views of the sunsets.
Have you visited both the East and West Coast beaches yet?
Stay tuned for more pictures from the Southwest.
