The Oceanview Mine - The Last REAL Operating Gem Mine
In the World Renowned Pala Gem Mining District

Chief Mountain, Pala, San Diego County, California
Your one stop source for tours, specimens, jewelry, cutting rough, faceted stones



The city of Pala is no more than about 20-25 minutes from the Highway 79 exit following the Pala-Temecula Road and about 15 minutes from the Highway 76 exit off the Interstate 15. We suggest you stop in Pala and check your maps carefully since you are only literally minutes away from the Oceanview Mine. Do not allow others to guide you beyond these distances. The Oceanview Mine is nestled in nearby orange groves and not by Lake Henshaw. You will have a completely disappointing experience otherwise. Please use your maps.


New!!! We have changed our mine tour to a historical driving tour of the district so you get to see where history was made at all the famous mines in the Pala District. This is a driving tour in our buggy so no hard hats are required! We'll go up and down and around the mountain pointing out the mines to the west, south, east and north. We'll give you some facts about each mine and what was found there and of course you can ask questions to learn more.


IMPORTANT - For visitors using navigation systems to arrive at the mine. DO NOT PROGRAM in the mine location into your nav unit. There are many private roads from Temecula that you can NOT pass over. They are gated and locked and you will miss your dig starting time. We recommend programming in the city of Pala or the Pala Casino. Arrive there first and then use the VIP Map download information if you are a confirmed and registered guest.
