26th Annual Woody Car Exhibit

Saturday & Sunday, 8:30 a.m. – 2:45 p.m

Where there is sand and surfing, you are likely to see Woody cars. In the 1960’s surfers found the roomy old Woody station wagons a convenient way to take their longboards to the ocean in search of the “perfect wave."

​

Watch for these incredible vehicles parading down from Ave. Del Mar and onto the pier both mornings. There will be a different set of 15 each day in a wide variety of colors and styles to see! 

Ocean Art Show

Saturday & Sunday, 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

You’ll find all sorts of ocean and beach related art – from landscapes and beachscapes; original oil and watercolor painting and giclees; photography, ceramics, stained glass and wild, crazy surfboard rug designs, jewelry, hand-crafted soaps, and all different kinds of artisan crafted pieces that make great gifts or additions to your own home!
