THE OPPORTUNITY
MainStreet Oceanside has contracted with the City of
Oceanside to develop a pilot program with the goal of
enhancing the public use of the beach and the ocean. These
services and activities are to be conducted in a manner
that is sensitive to existing land uses, promotes public
safety and accessibility for all beach visitors, minimizes
adverse effects on water quality and preserves natural and
cultural resources.
The Oceanside beach and pier area plays host to over one
million visitors per year. The MainStreet Oceanside Beach
Services Program will offer a ground floor opportunity for
several carefully selected vendors.
The objective of a successful concessionaire will be to
provide high quality services or food products at
reasonable prices and to promote a safe, enjoyable and
high-quality recreational experience for all beach
visitors.
Proposals are being solicited in the following areas:
• Services
• Education/Training
• Food Products
• Communication
• Information
• Transportation
• Equipment Rental
• Banking
• Personal Property Storage
(basket check/lockers)
Retail products may be added to this list in subsequent
years, however we are not requesting proposals for retail
products in the first year of the program. Contact our
office to be placed on the waiting
list.
