A Seaside Resort Rooted in Oceanside

The Seabird pairs the sophistication of a coastal estate with the independent character of Oceanside. Light-filled interiors, eclectic décor, and artwork curated by the Oceanside Museum of Art create a sense of place that extends throughout the resort.

That local connection also shapes the guest experience. Surfing programs celebrate generations of Oceanside surf culture, Farm-to-Table Tours introduce travelers to the region’s agricultural community, and partnerships with local artists and organizations bring the destination into the resort.

OMA West, a rotating gallery located within The Seabird, serves as an extension of the Oceanside Museum of Art and gives guests another way to engage with the city’s creative community.

Many rooms and suites overlook the Pacific, creating a bright and comfortable setting for couples, families, and extended stays. Spacious layouts and thoughtful amenities make it easy to settle into the slower pace of life by the water.
