Oceanside pier and beach walk taking the Sprinter from San Marcos - 2016

Beginning of September 2016 - Tied up in Marina Mazatlán, Mexico

The "Sprinter Station" in San Marcos.

We are currently house sitting in San Marcos CA. We just had to get to the ocean again so decided to take the transit systems' "Sprinter", inland cousin to the "Coaster".

This station is by "Palomar College".

It cost me $1.00 each way because I am old.

Debbie is a youngin so it was more for her ($2).

About all the parking at the beach is metered so we saved on that also.

A walk to the beach and you can see the picnic tables

where we had our picnic lunch; the Oceanside Pier is in the background.

Looking south and at the stairs we took to get down to the beach.

There is a bait shop that rents rods etc on the pier.

No fishing license required to fish off the pier.

This sail boat is coming out from Oceanside Harbor which is not always the easiest harbor to get in and out of. I have sailed there and know for a fact 😬

And then we took the "Sprinter" home - good fun and exercise!
