One of the best ways to experience Oceanside Harbor up close and personal is to go on a Harbor cruise. Or even better, going out of the Harbor and exploring the coastline. Here, I would like to present to you a list of all possible Oceanside harbor cruises. As you are about to see, Oceanside Harbor cruises have a little bit of something for everyone. Just have a look!
I have previously written and listed all of the possible whale watching tours and all San Diego Sportfishing Party boats offered in San Diego County in two other posts. Please click on the links above for any additional information concerning whale watching or fishing tours in Oceanside.

There are many cruises to choose from so let’s see what Oceanside Harbor has to offer, shall we?
First off, Oceanside Harbor is 38 miles north of Downtown San Diego and is the only harbor in North County San Diego. I could not find any dinner cruises available here, but there are several sailing charters and a variety of “special cruises” available.
As I mentioned before in the beginning, I have listed all of the whale watching and fishing tours from Oceanside Harbor in two previous posts, so click on the above links if you would like to fish or see whales.
Okay, let us now have a look at what Oceanside Harbor has to offer!

I have always had a deep-seated passion for the Ocean Environment which ultimately led me to receive a degree in Marine Biology. Living in the San Diego area for over 30 years, I have extensively explored the 70 miles of San Diego’s coastline, and I am here to share! Please use my website to your advantage and have a look around at all the wonders that the beaches of San Diego can offer you!

Hi Colleen,
Lovely post and great shots of the harbours and boats.
I've always been fascinated by boats and boating and I'd really like to take one of these trips but reading this kind of content just makes me want to get on board my own boat and take her out.
These oceanside cruises are wonderful though, especially as it's all about being next to the ocean itself and all the wonderful and diverse wildlife out there.
Thanks for this illuminating post. Great info.
Robert.
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment Robert! I found that I was feeling the same way while writing this post. It is so freeing being on the Ocean waters with no one else around. You are fortunate to have a boat! Enjoy the next time you take her out!!
Great information for sightseeing on any upcoming trips to San Diego.
Thank you for stopping by Denise! I hope you can make it down here sometime in the future!
How i wish i could visit San Diego.
I love the beach and i love whale watching too. I lived in an archipelagic country , surrounded by vast waters- the reason why i loved being on the beach.
I like the idea of taking my family to a boat ride with Santa C., and i'm sure they will love it.
Exploring the beaches and ocean of San Diego will be added to my bucket list.
Thank you for this article.
Thank you so much, Joyce, for taking the time to comment. Doesn't that Santa Cruise sound like so much fun? I enjoy sharing all of this information, so please check back anytime. I sure hope you are able to visit San Diego someday!
