Oceanside Municipal Airport (IATA: OCN, ICAO: KOKB), also known as Bob Maxwell Memorial Airfield, is a city-owned general aviation airport about three miles northeast of downtown Oceanside, California. Established in the 1920s, it sits near the San Luis Rey River and Camp Pendleton, with a single asphalt runway and no scheduled airline service. It supports flight training, private aircraft, skydiving, and helicopter operations.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors know to check NOTAMs for skydiving and Camp Pendleton military activity; the airport can have intense parachute and helicopter traffic, so monitor CTAF early and expect possible pattern disruptions.
🚖 Getting There
By car, take I-5 to SR-76 east, then turn onto Airport Road; the airport is a short drive from downtown Oceanside and the Oceanside Transit Center. Public transit does not serve the terminal directly, so plan on a taxi, rideshare, or hotel shuttle from the transit center or coast. On-site parking is limited, and there is no commercial airline check-in or baggage service.
