How to get here
At the pier
We’re at the foot of the Oceanside Pier on its north side (Pier Plaza North), down on the sand level right by The Strand. Look for our 20-ft shipping container.
The Junior Seau Pier Amphitheater is just south of us, on the other side of the pier walkway, and the Community Center is just to the north. Coming from Pier View Way or Pacific St up top, take the stairs down on the north side of the pier walkway.

Head toward the ocean on Mission Ave to the pier, then take the stairs down to The Strand. The red dotted line on the map shows the way.
