Yacht Club
The friendliest Yacht Club in the United States of America and the world invites you to join the friendliest boaters in the friendliest harbor. We're halfway between the greater Los Angeles Area and the greater San Diego Area. A convenient harbor can mean the difference between life and death, a boat on the rocks or not on the rocks, or a safe haven when the weather is bad or fuel is running low. Membership is in the under $500 range, but our hospitality and friendliness are world-class. Our clubhouse includes two levels of multipurpose rooms, a comfortable lounge and deck overlooking the harbor, and a dining galley. Every day of the year, the Pacific Ocean provides some of the best drama to be found in any theater. You, too, can enjoy the Yacht Club's panoramic view of Oceanside Harbor and the majestic mountains of Southern California from our gateway to the Pacific Rim.
Police
The Harbor is served by the Harbor Unit of the Oceanside Police Department. Sworn police officers and supervisors provide marine and land-based law enforcement services to residents, visitors and boaters 24 hours a day. Harbor Unit officers are trained in emergency medical procedures, CPR, dive rescue and salvage, boating rescues and fire fighting.
