I like the beaches and Pier in Oceanside, CA. I like to be out past the breakers year-round when my abilities permit.

Swimming After Sunset
The sun set as I was swimming out on the south side of the pier. I didn't get in until late because the place was crowded and parking was short. Smooth, flat water with 2-3 foot waves for the surfers. Water temp 69-71 degrees. Clear sky.
I ran into a mild current when I got out to the end of the pier; it was running north to south. It was neat to swim in with the sky darkening; you start to think scary things. But nothing uneventful occurred; I had a great, relaxing swim of 32 minutes. There were still plenty of people on the beach even after sunset.
