Wind-sculpted sand dunes towering to 500 feet above sea level provide numerous recreational opportunities including off-highway vehicle use, hiking, photography, fishing, canoeing, horseback riding and camping. Visitors enjoy thick “tree islands”, open dunes, marsh-like deflation plains and beaches.

From Florence to Coos Bay, the Oregon Dunes NRA extends for 40 miles along the Oregon Coast. Formed by the ancient forces of wind, water and time, these dunes are like no others in the world. These are the largest expanse of coastal sand dunes in North America and they hold numerous opportunities for adventure and solitude.

The Dunes south of Winchester Bay are the most magnificent on the Oregon Coast. They are also the most dangerous for ATVers. Steep hills, quicksand, and shifting winds make the area treacherous for even the most experienced riders.

There's a sense of wonder and beauty found on our dunes. A few miles south of "third beach" the dunes stretch for miles - a vast wonderland of isolation and peace. A great playground for those adventurous enough to experience them.
