I was really surprised to find this hidden gem in Oceanside, of all places. It was passed 8p and they were closing at 9p. Park around City Hall and it's within 1-2 blocks. I was apprehensive at first thinking how this market would be ghetto. Sure there's a little ghetto-ness, but overall, it wasn't that bad. It reminded me of a regular street fair. There are tents and tents of various vendors and food selections. You do get the service people and also the rowdy teens, but the crowd was pretty tame for the most part. There were street performers and a stage for a band to play. The band sounded a little depressing with somber music. Definitely wasn't in the mood for that. We decided to hit up a food truck for dinner - Mad Maui BBQ (refer to review). I had heard about a Filipino tent that had a long line. We decided to look for it and found that it. It's called Zambales Filipino Food. We got to talking with one of the owners, Joe, for a while and he even offered us a bag of lumpia to try. We met the cook and the uncle - SUPER COOL. Unfortunately, we had eaten and wasn't able to try their food. Although, we did vow to come back again and visit. read more

From American food to Middle Eastern food, a Central American drink to a Thai style tea, or even some hot sauce or hummus, the Oceanside Sunset Market as it all! I've been coming to this Thursday night street fair on an almost consistent basis for about 4 years, and let me tell you it never gets old! As old stands go and new ones come in there is always something you'll see that gets your taste buds going! My personal favorite stands include the Surfside Sliders stand where they're serving up their twist on chicken and beef sliders with their own special cheese sauce. Theres a Ghanaian stand serving up authentic hot stews, goat, and chicken to get yourself a taste of eastern Africa. One more stand worth taking a look is the (grilled cheese stand), whipping up different takes on traditional grilled cheese, like a buffalo chicken grilled cheese, or a pulled pork grilled cheese! Overall there are too many good food stops here to even mention, and you have to see for yourself! If you're not looking for food, there is so much more than food here as it is an outdoor vending experience! Purchase freshly cut flowers, great gift options, or some toys for the kids. Be prepared to get there early or endure the long walk from a parking spot 4 blocks away,unless you're willing to pay for parking. Don't forget to bring cash as some of the vendors do not take card! read more

Love this place! every Thursday from 5-9pm. Live entertainment and delicious food! I will be back! What we ate: *Tri tip sandwich ($7) @ HUNTERS: the meat was dry even with the BBQ sauce, not worth it. Pass on this. *Beef tostino ($2) @ MANGO & TOSTINOS: shredded marinated beef on fried plantain topped with mango salsa, mozzarella, and spice mango sauce. LOVE THIS! So good we bought another! *dozen Mini donuts ($5) @ DANKY DONUTS: kinda pricey but really good. We got half powder sugar and half glazed. Made fresh in front of us. *bbq pork Thai burger ($5.50) @ the THAI BURGER COMPANY. Pretty good but personally I think the rice "buns" was a lil too thick. *Maine lobster roll ($12) @ WICKED MAINE LOBSTER. Just the right amount of mayo in a toasted buttered bun with plenty of lobster. YUMMY. I would totally get this again. *chaWatermelon ($6) @ EL GORDITO FELIZ. Really refreshing but the watermelon needed to be sweeter. *pork tamale ($3.50) @ THE TAMALE GUY. Eight flavors to choose from with your choice of red or green sauce. We chose pork with red sauce(spicier than green). Not only was it flavorful but the texture of the masa is on point. One of the best tamales I've had! *"the 5 south" ($9) @ WOW WOW WAFFLE. Bought it in a mason, pretty cool cause you can bring it back and get refills all year long for just $5. This was really good. I believe this lemonade has mango, pineapple and coconut in it?? We also ordered a small mango lemonade for the kiddo, she loved it! *Louisiana hot link ($5) @ LA GOURMET SAUSAGES. Didn't try it but the mister said it was decent. Nothing special. read more

Came here for the first time and was pleasantly surprised! It's not huge but bigger than you would expect, especially for a fair that happens every week. Got some Hawaiian chicken and Kalua was very delicious, also had some Filipino food that was mediocre. Topped it off with some macarons and cake that were pricey but also very good. Definitely a cool place to check out on a Thursday night! read more

We went to the Market on my sister's birthday as she wanted to try something new. It was a pretty cool place. It definitely had a lot of food to choose from, but not as many crafts or produce to check out. We did find some really interesting driftwood art and a guy that takes amazing photos as well as makes darn cool frames. I really enjoy live music, so I was quite happy to listen to a little Jazz and a little Blues while walking around. My family wasn't feeling as adventurous as I was, so we decided on the Breakwater Brewing Company for dinner. Good choice and I'll write about that in a separate review. I would really like to come back and try the food for a later update to this review. For now, I think this is definitely worth checking out if you want to try something new especially if you live in Oceanside. read more

Had a total blast here with my wife & 9 year old son. Parked 4 blocks East of 101, but the walk wasn't bad. The Jamaiican Jerk chicken was a stand out. Phillipine food (BBQ pork bun and chicken + noodles) was good. Everyone's favorite was the Hawaiian shaved ice. Get the Hawaiian (Banana, Coconut, Pineapple) with a scoop of vanilla ice cream at the bottom - kick A!!! They have a "kids zone" near the main stage. My son enjoyed the sand art ($5-$9). Porta-potties are next to the main stage. Have fun! read more

Sunset Market - View down the main drag - Street Vendors Near Me - Oceanside, California

When the local organic community searches for produce they are looking for farmers markets. This is not one of them. It's barely a Market and more a street fair what with the type of vendors, type of variety and organization. Quite a few restaurants sell a limited menu and very few people are actually selling making it more fair than market. The location is great, but the crowds perusing for grub aren't your usual market variety. Personally I this it's the bars that keep things rowdy, but just the police presence lets you know this isn't your usual market. Unfortunately it's doesn't have the laid back vibe of a food truck meet up either so your stuck wondering what you bought, what you ate and why you came down here. Well simply put, for the sunset and there just happens to be some food you don't normally get when your down here other times. When you're from Oceanside you get used to and put up with a little of the ghetto-ness associated with the city and some areas. Realistically some people prefer it, but for a street fair, it's ok. With the later summer season I imagine it will get more busy, but I find more gems at farmers and real markets versus street fairs. read more

As a local, I always try to support the local businesses, but I never know what to try next. Sure, Yelp helps, but it doesn't always give me an idea, just what other people think about existing ideas. Regardless, if I'm looking to try a new restaurant, sample some local wares, get fresh fruits or veg that I'm not growing in my own garden, get a ring sized or polished, or, if I just want to get out for an evening, I know that the market is the place to be. There are always plenty of musicians, awesome foods, desserts, and great ideas for my home, or presents for my friends. During the summer, there are more businesses that take up more space, but there are four blocks that are solid no matter what time of the year, and I've always encountered pleasant vendors and quality products. I have yet to be disappointed. There is also a market on Thursday mornings. It's not as big, but you'll get more of the actual farmers, and less of the dinner going crowd. This market is just another reason why Oceanside rocks it, year in and year out, for the residents, and even for the tourists who come to play! Also, many of the stands will let you use a debit or credit card, but there are plenty of ATMs in the vicinity, so don't worry if you didn't come prepared with cash. read more

Husband and I have been taking everybody here! All our friends and family that visit us say this is awesome! And its year round! 5-9pm, with a live band every Thursdays! So much choices! Whatever you are craving for this is the go to spot on Thursdays! They have, lobster rolls, uni, mexican , jamaican, filipino, Chinese, japanese, polish, steak, grilled salmon, thai, hawaiian, indian, a variety of desserts! Ice cream, cupcakes, cake, hotdogs/sausages, and a lot more, and they also have other stuff like, clothes, trinkets, jewelry, flowers, cellphone repair, pet stuff , etc. It gets crowded during the summer, in winter its a hit or miss really. Parking is challenging sometimes, if you don't mind the walk then there's nothing to worry about, suggestion where to park is, civic center drive there's a lot of street parking, or the Oceanside transit center parking lot by seagaze dr and s cleveland street. I usually get there by 4-430pm, the stalls are sometimes ready or setting up, but its to avoid the crowd. The best Food I have tried are , the lobster roll ( OMG! Its so freakin good!, its so buttery, and they pack it with lobster, price varies) , the tritip sandwich from Hunter steak ( in laws loved it! , its so flavorful and smoky!) , Salmon stall ( everything is good!, although the servings are not good for the price i think) , the BBQ stand ( the fall of the bone ribs was really delicious!) , the california cheesecake in a cup (creamy, yummy and delightful!) This is a very organized Oceanside event, there is police presence in every corner to make sure it is safe, stalls are set up to ensure people walking, or ordering have enough space and Its overall a fun farmers market/street fair read more

I have been going to the Sunset Market for years now so I guess it's time to write a review. I'll be brief. This little street fair has been going on every Thursday evening since 2007, year round. There are vendors selling everything from clothing to jewelry to candles to skin care and more. To me, the two most compelling reasons to go are the food and the live music. Both are consistently good and there is always plenty of both. Parking can be a little bit of an issue if you don't come early. You may find yourself parking blocks away and walking to Tremont but it's no big deal, really. There are lots of vegan and gluten-free options available from a number of the food vendors. A surprising number, really. The Sunset Market/Street Fair is an Oceanside Tradition that I highly recommend attending. It is a happy place where you can take in the sights and smells and sounds of Thursday night as you make your way toward the weekend. read more

I enjoy the Sunset Market in Oceanside, especially when the weather is warm. There are great vendors (the food is my favorite), live music, sometimes pony rides and jumping castles for the kids. What is also great about the Sunset market when you're done exploring there, is that it is close to the beach, you could take a stroll on the beach or the pier! Go check it out! read more

Sooo much fun! There were so many incredible vendors and sooo many choices to choose from when it came to dinner and dessert! I wanted to eat them all! So glad I checked this out! Can't wait until next time! read more

A gastronomical adventure sums it up best. An evening farmer's market that looks and feels more like an exotic bohemian street fair from some far flung corner of the global rather than a gathering of local farmers selling rutabagas and turnips. Food, food, food, and more food. Did I mention that they got food? Everything from New Zealand meat pies to tri-tip sandwiches, and Thai burgers. I've been working my way through the list of food vendors with each visit and this last adventure my focus was the Thai burger stand. Sticky rice, Thai bbq pork, and some very amazing spices. The combination left my taste buds popping and wanting more. Even better is that the staff at the Thai burger stand are some of the friendliest folks that I've ever met. Of course the Sunset Market also has dozens of craft vendors and services, along with music stage acts and street performers all stretched out together over several blocks in downtown Oceanside. They have everything from specialty coffee and jewelry to iphone repair, face painting, and jumpie bunch houses for the kiddos. There is even a pony ride set up for the little kids. I can't wait to head back for another adventure. It's a great way to spend an evening. read more

I wasn't expecting much when I moved to Oceanside but the Thursday Sunset Market blew me away! I try to go when I don't have commitments on Thursday nights. Do come hungry - there's lots of food to choose from and most things are $10 or less. I'm more shocked that there's a section of cuisine from around the world since Oside; or North Country in general, isn't really diverse. There are other things for sale like sunglasses, shirts, soap, etc. read more

Sunset Market - Just like a postcard! - Street Vendors Near Me - Oceanside, California

This is the evening market which is more of a knick-knack selling than the farmer's market that's held in the morning hours. You'll find some limited produce on Tremont St and then hot foods mostly on the intersection of Tremont & Pier View Way, where there is usually a live band playing. If you come, prepare to walk a few blocks because the free parking lots get jammed almost right as the market area opens. Lots of families and dog owners walking around and a kudos to those owners because I've never seen one of 'em yet leave a sidewalk mess. The market has a nice look with the string of lights overhead in the market area, so it's a pretty festive place, especially in the summer time. There's also musicians playing on the side with an open case, and once in a while I'll hit them with a dollar if I'm feeling what they are playing. I like coming here most because there's a bread vendor who has awesome Miner's sourdough bread that doesn't taste like the bland stale stuff you find at the grocery store. Nice to smell the different foods cooking too, although some can be a little pricey for what you get. read more

What an awesome event! It was definitely bigger than what I expected. There is an endless amount of delicious food. The rows of food just kept going! There is just so much good stuff to choose from. It's nice that they even had a couple different live entertainers. It's great for the family. They even had a bounce house and face painting for the kids. Also, they are dog friendly. Support local businesses! read more

Sunset Market - Indian food! Samosa. Korma. Basmati rice. Oh so good! Best ever. - Street Vendors Near Me - Oceanside, California

Agree with other reviewers that this should not be classified as a Farmer's Market. There were only four fresh flower/produce vendors, one bread stand, a humus and pita stand...truly not enough to be classified as FM. And I felt bad for those vendors as well, all stuck down at the end of Tremont where few people bothered to wander. The food selection on the other hand was outstanding! Lots of touristy booths, live music, all the makings of a street fair. Definitely could feast for hours there, but beware! A few dollars here and there on a whole bunch of yummy food can burn a hole in your pocket fast! Lots more food booths to try and revisit, so I'll definitely be back. read more

Sunset Market - Funnel Cake & Strawberries - Street Vendors Near Me - Oceanside, California

Lots of great vendors! Everyone was super nice. We came for the "haunted market" event and had a great time. There weren't very many other adults in costumes though. Still fun! It did get a little crowded after 6:00, but not so much that you couldn't move or see menus. I got full after my first dish, but there was so much I wanted to try. Looking forward to an ice cream sandwich or a strawberry kabob next time! I had the garlic noodles with chicken and veggies for $10. It was super filling, but pretty oily. Yummy, but oily. Probably where all the flavor is. Also! Saw Bitchin' Dip was there. $5 a tub which is better than the $6-7 I see if for at grocery stores. Looking forward to coming back! read more

If you're in Oceanside on Thursday nights, come check out the sunset market! Street vendors of handmade and other items, as well as fresh flowers, and food from just about every nation! I had the Lamb Gyro-- I thought it was a little pricey; $7 for a Gyro... but then was handed the HUGE Gyro-- it was sooo good! I would highly recommend it for anyone that likes Gyros! I also managed to score a set of 1600 thread count King Size sheets for $30. :) Check it out! (the daytime farmers market is awesome, too!) read more

The sunset market is great!! The atmosphere, the music and the food are perfect and is a different and amazing way to spend a sunny afternoon! The Hawaiian food is cheap and really good, the croissants as well! If you are hungry also the Phillipines stand has good stuff and really reach plates even if the only time I took it, it wasn't warm enough. If you come to Oceanside and luckily you are here on a Thursday you can't miss it read more

Other than the fact that this event, which takes place every Thursday (it starts during the morning hours, then continues on to the evening, sometimes with live music...it's like a Farmer's Market combined with a place for local artists and artisans to sell and showcase their wares, artwork, food, clothing, etc.) clogs up the already tiny and congested streets of downtown Oceanside, I really do love this event. Locals call it the "Thursday Market" interchangeably with "Sunset Market," but they've definitely got a little something for everyone here! Locally grown produce, homemade essential oils, raw honey, fresh bread, locally created art and other gift items...it's definitely a great place to walk around with family and check out some of the best locally created, grown, etc. items that Oceanside and the surrounding community has to offer. I have never been able to attend Thursday Market without leaving with several bags of locally produced and sold goodies! If you like supporting local businesses, having a few short square blocks to walk around and shop, and have access to freshly harvested and/or cooked, created, and packaged goods, then you'll definitely want to check out Sunset Market. It's located right by the library in Downtown Oceanside, and you'll never leave disappointed. A note on parking: they close off several streets every Thursday, so if you're disabled or otherwise cannot make it too far on your feel, you may want to scout the place out first prior to attending so you're able to enjoy the full experience. During the day, I park in the parking lot of the small church behind the Breakfast Club restaurant (I have a disabled placard, so they cannot tow my vehicle), and in the evenings, I sometimes get lucky with finding a disabled spot or a metered stall (disabled plates make parking at meters free), but I usually just park off of Tremont Street as close as I can to the actual perimeter of the Market, so I don't have to walk too far. This is a great way to spend a Thursday with the family or even as a casual date. Really laid back, and some of the best food and crafts that Oceanside's talented residents have to offer. Hope to see you there! read more

I saw the sign for the Sunset Market as I was leaving after my shift at the Oceanside Museum of Art and decided to check it out next week with my mom. We were amazed by the amount of booths that do business there for Thursday night at the Sunset Market and there was no shortage of interesting things to look at. It can be a little overwhelming, food-wise when coming here to eat. I wanted to the try the fish and chips but ended up with the barbeque pulled pork sandwich like my mom was having. The latter was not a great choice and was quite greasy but regardless, I would return to the Sunset Market again. My mom found her new favorite organic fruit stand there and the fellow was friendly and proud of his produce. read more

As an Oceanside native, I've been coming to the Sunset Market for years. I feel it has become more and more popular so parking can sometimes be difficult. I've abandoned trying to park in the nearby neighborhoods as it's nearly impossible now but I usually have good luck at the Civic Center Parking Structure. The market offers up a wide variety of vendors. Everything from discounted name brand clothes to one of a kind artwork. It's really a great way to support your local businesses. If you're a foodie like myself, there's a ton of great food options! On my last visit, I enjoyed a delicious lobster roll and fresh beignets for desert. There are also a few vegan options as well. What I appreciate most is the diversity of the food selection. There are a few tables located in the middle of the market as well as near the stage area but they tend to fill up quickly. Otherwise, just find an open spot on the curb and you can people/dog watch while you eat. :) TIP: Although a lot of vendors do accept cards now, I would come prepared with some cash just in case. Whether you're on a date or spending time with the family or friends, the Sunset Market is an awesome way to spend your Thursday night. With a fun and friendly atmosphere, you can enjoy a delicious meal while listening to some live music. For you dog owners out there, it's also a great place to walk your pup. If you want to see what Oceanside is all about, make your way to the Sunset Market. read more

Ok, street people selling swap meet stuff. Some music here and there Some aggressive homeless, getting high at the liquor store. Cuss at you if don't give them money. The stuff they smoke is weird smell for pot. Cops don't hassle them , Good place to party for 20 something's. Lots of bars and drugs nearby read more

Love this place! If I could I would come here every Thursday! They have amazing food HANDS DOWN!! Some a little on the pricey side but totally worth it, depends on who you go to haha. My favorites are: -Authentic Thai Food -Thai Burger Company -Can't remember last one but its Hawaiian Plan on driving around an extra 15-30 mins looking for parking... Also its better to bring CASH incase! Go earlier if you can. :-) it can get crowded fast. read more

First, two things to remember... bring cash and this super awesome street fair kicks off on Thursday nights only. One more thing... you will have to come back multiple times to even sample 25% of their offerings. If you are in the area, this is a must go to. A great escape from your work week grind. Bands playing popular music. On your first visit, you will get sensory overload due to the very wide variety of grinds. If you come with more than yourself then I suggest sharing so you can sample more varieties of food. I made that mistake on my first visit. I gorged myself on some Belgian fries and a decadent buffalo chicken grilled cheese sandwich...done no room for dessert which this fair takes to another level. This fair satisfies even the pickiest of eaters including vegan and your gluten free friends. If you want a fair taste of the Oceanside community and do what the locals do then this is not something you want to miss. read more

Love going here on a Thursday. Seems like such a nice break from the hectic work week and gets you ready for the weekend. Great food choices. We've been here at least a dozen times, since moving from Rancho Bernardo to Oceanside last November, and there is just so much to choose from no matter what food mood you are in. The grilled cheese and tots place is one of my favs. The buffalo chicken grilled cheese is to die for! Do not pass that up if that's your thing. Tots are great as well. Our favorite place to visit, one in which we almost always purchase something, is Leroy's. The cake there is out of this world moist. The key lime cake is a must, if you are a key lime fan (which I am), and the others are also very good. The chocolate cake is milk chocolate and is very tasty. And OMG if you get a chance to try the Oreo, white chocolate and milk chocolate cookies, DO IT! I'm not even a fan of white chocolate, and I think I'm now addicted to them! After the market you can also pop down to the beach, just two blocks away, for a relaxing walk. Very pet and family friendly, with live music and tons of vendors, making it a great way to spend a Thursday evening. read more

I've never had a lobster roll that I've actually liked until I found this place so close to home. I can walk to the street fair and get an amazing lobster roll or two....they're very generous with the amount of lobster meat and they're great until today when I paid an extra $ 5 and got less than usual. What a SCAM !!!! DO NOT NOT PAY EXTRA.... But regardless this place is legit. Sooooo good but tonight they got cheap on me ... hopefully this doesn't happen again...pictures attached read more

I personally think this is a great touch to the awesome city of Oceanside. To have a great area to go and walk around on Thursday nights is one of the coolest things, cause as great as the farmers markets are and as great they are mostly the farmers and just a few small consumer stands with some small food stands. The street faires are great, but those are only every couple times a year and needs to happen at least once a quarter! This brings the best of both worlds every week! I love coming and walking around, but there's got to be a bit of a better flow to this. People walking certain ways or at least lines bending certain ways cause it's tough to walk through with your friends when you've got 10+ strollers, dogs, and little kids all coming at you or running around. read more

Great vegan options and vibes here! Thursday's are only fun because this exists. Well they used to be but some of move onto better jobs that require us to stay late ONLY on Thursdays to miss our beloved sunset market. Definitely check out this place, it's very hard to not enjoy! read more

Absolutely fun and entertaining to walk about with live music while you enjoy eating. Very packed. Plenty of options for food and desserts. From, turkey legs, gyros, street tacos, Korean bbq, Hawaiian bbq, Filipino food, Vietnamese food, hotdogs, bratswurst, philly cheese fries, stuffed hash browns, grilled cheese, lobster and crab rolls, crepes, cheesecake in a cup, hummus, expensive beef jerky, lemonades, virgin mojitos, and cotton candy to name a "few". Definitely an enjoyable stroll on Thursday nights in North County. read more

I really enjoyed checking the sunset market out. It was full of people fast but it was worth it. There was a great variety of vendors with a great diversity. My mother went for empanadas while I went for Salvadoran food. I ended up with an enormous quesadilla, the masa was just delicious. It was so filling but be warned, their salsa is SPICY! A burn that is relentless. Fantastic for those looking for some real spice. read more

It's ok, and just that .. It's nice to see the City of Oceanside be consistent with this Market each and every Thursday night, BUT without a doubt this event brings out ALL of Oceanside's "less than desirables". Take that for what it's worth.. Lots of Dogs.. Lots of People.. & Lots of up to No good going on. If your into people watching, pull up a chair & If your into quality before quantity run for the hills! But.... Because I'm certain helps the downtown local businesses I will give it 2.5 Stars. read more

I don't usually get to come to this popular tourist attraction but when I do it's always a good time. The sunset market is held every Thursday from 5pm-9pm in good ole downtown Oceanside. They have hundreds of different vendors. My favorite booth is the one where the lady sells orchids that she grows herself. She's very knowledgable and will school you on how to raise an orchid. They are pretty pricey but I can't resist a beautiful locally grown flower. There's a bunch of different food booths as well...bring cash just in case it'll make life easier here. I tend to go to the Jamaican food booth the most I'm a sucker for jerk chicken. They also have a thai food booth I've been wanting to try-home of the ramen burger! Next time. If you have a sweet tooth, danky donuts is the place to go! It's definitely a place to take the kids, a loved one or if you just want to explore solo. There's live bands here too and other attractions that will keep you busy. Have fun! read more

We visited this street market last night for the first time. It is very popular so arrive early. The later it got the busier it got. We tried 4 vendors. 1st vendor was the Wicked Maine Lobster ( we need to research the names of the vendors ). For $15 a sandwich it was quite pricey but it was worth it! I have never liked lobster but my husband was enjoying the sandwich so much he asked me to give it a try. I took one bite and was in heaven. It was lightly dressed with mayo ( I don't generally like mayo either) and it tasted like sweet crab. My husband saw another customer ask for a lobster roll warmed up with just melted butter then put on the bread which we also want to try. Both of us wanted another one but we were determined to try more booths 2nd vendor was a Vietnamese booth that served coconut pancakes ( they where also serving all sorts of dinner items). These were dollar sized and cooked I'm an aebleskiver pan. They were crisp on the outside and chewy and sweet in the middle with a light coconut taste. They were 4 for $1 and we eventually split $4 worth between 3 of us and still wanted more 3rd vendor was a different Vietnamese booth that served "burgers" between sticky rice buns. The burgers are Bbq pork, satay, tofu and a couple I'm forgetting. We had the BBQ Pork and it was pretty good. It was a seasoned ground pork patty with a light sweet sauce on top sandwiched between sticky rice pattys. It was a little on the messy side but tasted so good my 4 year old took it over and gobbled it up. At $6 a piece it was a great deal 4th vendor was the booth selling corn dogs and hot dogs. Nothing special except they are definitely there for the kiddos that don't want to try anything new. My son begged for a hot dog with ketchup so we got him one. He liked it. T was $3.50. The vendors were very nice and it looked like a family affair because they had a kid helping hand the hot dog to the customers. Lots of different types of vendors including Hawaiian candles, purses, cheese, desserts and more. It's a one block walk from the Oceanside pier and they were set up for a surf competition so was super fun to wander to the beach and eat our goodies while watching the surfers practice read more
