Meet SOS: a grassroots movement taking action to restore and protect Oceanside’s beaches — before it’s too late.

We’re Not Just Watching the Sand Disappear — WE’RE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT

What We Stand For 

Our Mission:

To protect, restore, and sustain Oceanside’s beaches through emergency sand nourishment, long-term coastal resilience projects, and proactive policy advocacy.

Our Vision:

A thriving coastline where Oceanside’s beaches are wide, sandy, and resilient for generations to come.

Why We Started & Why We Won’t Stop

Save Oceanside Sand (SOS) was born out of a deep love for Oceanside’s coastline — and a shared frustration that no one was doing enough to save it.

As locals watched beloved surf spots vanish, family beach days disappear, and public access shrink, one thing became clear: waiting wasn’t working.

So, we organized. What began as a grassroots coalition of friends and family, and concerned residents is now a leading voice for shoreline restoration in Southern California.

We’re here to restore the sand, protect the coast, and make sure Oceanside stays a beach town — not a beach memory.

What We’ve Accomplished Together

By working with our Oceanside community and influencing our city leadership, we have achieved some remarkable milestones towards beach restoration. Your support is critical in advancing our goals of restored beaches and resilience for the entire O’side shoreline!
