The main recreation draw in the area is riding ATV’s on the dunes. There is a 40 mile long stretch of dunes in the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area from Florence to North Bend, Oregon. The highest dunes in the world are located, some of them over 500 feet tall.

For the visitor there are due buggy rides with tour guides and there are ATV rentals so you can take an individual ride on your own ATV.

For those of you who don’t want a wild ride on the sand dunes there is the 65 foot high Umpqua Lighthouse to visit. It has been showing ships and boats the way for over 100 years. It is still an operating beacon but you can get a tour and even see the lens.

And there is the beach, miles and miles of wide sandy beach with 12 access parking lots. So if its Ocean Beach that you want there is an abundant supply.

The Umpqua Lighthouse

If it is the ocean or sport fishing that tweaks your interest there are charter boats that will take care of all your desires. The fishing is good in this area both in the ocean and in the Umpqua River.

If you’re a camper there are lots of places to camp in the area and you can even just camp on the sand in specific places in the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. Be prepared for sand in your tent and everywhere else.
