Oceanside Pier at sunset
Labor Day Pier Swim The modern version of Oceanside Pier was completed in 1987, some 99 years after the first structure jutting into the sea was erected on the spot in 1888. Through the late 1800s and early 1900s, storms sent the pier back to shore where the surviving planks and posts were gathered up for the next effort. By 1927 the fourth structure built extended 1900 feet into the Pacific Ocean as does today’s version. In the first half of the 20th Century, fishing barges,
the predecessors of today’s modern sportfishing fleet, were converted from old vessels and used along the California coast to take anglers deeper into the abundant fishery. There was a barge working from the Oceanside structure, but then, even from the pier, the big broomtail grouper and black seabass that used to haunt the relative shallows were common catches. Sometimes, the fish won. The Los Angeles Times reported in July 1930 that a Mr. C.A. Ped- dicord took his newly purchased heavy gear down to the pier, pinned on a big mackerel for bait and hooked a large
fish. Not being accustomed to the big game tackle, Peddicord buttoned down the drag on the reel, hoisted his leg over the rod butt for leverage and was subsequently hurled over the railing as the fish pulled hard, creating a fulcrum that flung the hapless angler into the sea. Rescuers got to him just before he drowned and neither the fish nor the gear was seen again. The pier was not only for fishing; it was
and is also a gathering place, a spot easy to find and meet up for a day at the beach. Leisurely walks in the afternoon for young couples woo- ing was also a popular use of the pier in its early days and now. As “bathing” in the ocean became popular beyond the ankle-deep dip- ping of the 1880s beach crowd, water sports like bodysurfing, board surfing, and open- water swimming grew in popularity. In 1929
