Oceanside Harbor is quietly tucked away from the unsuspecting individual. As visitors drive into the harbor and discover rows of docked sailboats, see people gliding by on top of paddleboards, and the array of restaurants and shops, they quickly realize that they have stumbled upon a true hidden gem. With miles of sidewalk rounding the harbor, the pups will have a lot to sniff out and explore. Pack a picnic and lay out with the doggie, or log some miles on an epic run!
