Experience Oceanside, California, Like Charity Lawson on ‘The Bachelorette’
Come on, Barbie, let’s fall in love!
Oceanside, California, is one of the most idyllic beach towns in the United States and is known for its gorgeous harbor, marina, pier, and shops. The city has something for everyone, from stunning sandy beaches to world-class cuisine. Its close proximity to San Diego makes Oceanside the perfect escape from big city life while still being close enough to experience all Southern California has to offer.
Charity Lawson and the men of Season 20 of “The Bachelorette” traveled to Oceanside, and here’s how you can experience the beautiful country just like they did on “The Bachelorette.”
Where to Stay
If you’re looking for the perfect place to stay in Oceanside, look no further than the Mission Pacific Hotel. There’s a reason this hotel has been voted the number one hotel in San Diego! The oceanfront property is the dream destination to fall in love just like Charity and the men of her season. You will be swept off your feet by the breathtaking ocean views, custom furniture, luxurious spa, and more. The Mission Pacific Hotel is also home to world-class dining, including Michelin Star restaurant Valle, where you can try Chef Roberto Alcocer’s exquisite Baja cuisine. And just when you think this hotel can’t get any better, check out the hotel’s Rooftop Bar for the best sunset views in San Diego. There, you can enjoy cocktails, live music, and dancing under the stars. Have you booked your stay yet?!
One-on-One Date: Falling in Love Is a Home Run
For her first one-on-one date of the week, Charity took Brayden for a romantic helicopter ride down to Oceanside from Los Angeles. The two got to soak up the ocean views while cozying up to each other in the chopper for Charity’s first helicopter ride. Charity and Brayden got to see dolphins from above, and Brayden said, “I feel like I’m on cloud nine because I’m in cloud nine!” Later in the day, the two enjoyed a romantic evening having Petco Park all to themselves, and they even got custom baseball jerseys that they were spotted kissing in on the Kiss Cam! Ocean views and baseball are the perfect date night in Oceanside; will you accept this rose for you and your boo to enjoy a date night like this one?
Group Date: Malibu Barbie Out, Oceanside Barbie In!
While in Oceanside, Charity invited her men to participate in a Barbie Beach Concert, where they got to show off their singing skills beachside. Charity rocked a stunning hot pink shorts suit and introduced the guys to JoJo and Jordan, who hosted the date. The men were tasked with writing a song to the tune of “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” with their own creative lyrics. Take your talents to Oceanside and sing your favorite song while blasting it on the beach.
One-on-One Date: Let Your Inner Child Play
For her second one-on-one date of the week, Charity took Warwick to Belmont Park for an evening of playing games, eating ice cream, and riding roller coasters. The two held hands and walked through the carnival games. They even scooped their own ice cream at the park’s ice cream shop! This date is ideal for any couple that wants to let their inner child have some fun. It’s also a great first date idea, so if you live in the area and want to get to know your date, take them down to Belmont Park to have a first date like Charity and Warwick’s!
