Hey all,
I'll be spending some time in Oceanside,CA this month and have a few things lined up to see, but was wondering what my iboats friends have to offer. I'll be there about 7 days. Maybe some things off that old beaten path me and my guidebook wouldn't think of and of course some good eating places.
Looking forward to your advice.
Bassy

The best hamburgers and fried zucchini, in the world, are at "A's Burgers" on Pacific Coast Highway in Dana Point.

"A's" is located. down the hill, just past the Doubletree Hotel.

I'll be there next week. Can't wait for that zucchini.

Take the Express from Dana to Catalina. Day trip is great.

Dinner at Las Brisas in Laguna Beach, killer view, try for a sunset reservation and a good table (mid-week should be OK). Mexican seafood, pretty good food, great location and decent prices if you don't go nuts . . .

Awesome, have fun!

Agree with QC. Great view. If you are a water lover, it doesn't get better.

Check out "A"'s for a "grease fix".

Sounds like a California thing. Do you get a pedicure while you eat?;)

Very funny. Actually the place is a dive. It's an old surfer haunt (Doheny Beach) from way back.

No, I don't like tofu and I didn't spend 48 years climbing the food chain to eat my fish raw. I can't stand sushi.

If you have some young-uns you may want to check out Legoland in Carlsbad.

I hear ya. I don't like tofu either. I like both wine and sushi but prefer to enjoy them both without any pretentiousness. That's my big turn off I guess. Just ribbin' ya about the pedicure.

Ah yes!! I knew I could count on you. Lots of things I didn't think of. We've got the San Diego things on the list, Coronado Hotel, USS Midway, and an air balloon ride in Del Mar with Mom and now some of the things you've mentioned. Thanks a lot. Looks like 60's and sunny at least until Wednesday. Looking forward to a week long trip of fun.
