Oceanside Community Wayfinding Plan - Update for 10-27-2024

We are excited to provide you with the Oceanside Community Wayfinding Plan. Our team has created an outline of our points of focus. 

Wayfinding Plan Review

An outline of our latest strategy meeting is posted below.


Oceanside 'Wayfinding Plan' Outline

--Create a Welcoming streetscape

--Consider streetscape clutter

--Make an inventory of existing signage


Projects in Wayfinding:


1) Gateway (we will be meeting shortly with County Staff to agree on final placement of the Oceanside entry signs and construction materials)

2) Directional signage--TBD future

3) Interpretive--Welcome kiosk, beach safety, indigenous story (located in both the lower and upper parking lots)

4) Interpretive panels--History and today, parking lot edge, looking out to the beach

    non intrusive of views, angels, exciting graphics and photos (the team will be looking to engage the talents of local designers to present to the County Staff for approval and fabrication) 

note: Signage along sidewalk ways can also tell a story and be part of a future interpretive program

OAP Short Beach Rebuild Project

July 31, 2025
CALLING ALL ROCKSTARS! Join the OAP Short Beach Rebuild Project Bucket Brigade Party 📅 Saturday, August 16 🕘 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM 📍 Short Beach, Oceanside We're rebuilding the beach access stairs, and we need YOU (yes, you with the strong arms and community spirit) to help us line the new stairs with beautiful beach rocks, the old-fashioned way: by hand! What’s happening? We’re forming a good ol’ bucket brigade (think human chain, not a workout class — though it may feel like one) to move rocks from the beach to the stair path. It’s hands-on, feel-good community work, and honestly, a little fun too. We need 30–40 volunteers! 👷 Bring: • Gloves (your hands will thank you) • Lunch (we’ll break for a beach picnic) • A 5-gallon bucket (Home Depot orange buckets = bonus points)  To volunteer (or ask questions), contact us: 📧 info@oceansideactionpartnership.org 📞 (503) 317-6150
