Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area

This was one of the coolest experiences! The sand dunes were gorgeous, you can rent ATVs and really explore everything. “Riding Dirty Rentals” was super close and cheap. You can’t get down to the beach on an atv but there are plenty of things to check out! I definitely have to plan a trip back.

OMG so fabulous! Went here for a day trip and did the 4.5 mile loop hike through the dunes and on the beach. Saw red legged frogs, heard chorus frogs (saw their tadpoles) and a bunch O’ banana slugs. The hike has some really nice dune sections, forest sections and of course the beach. Moderate hike, perfect for a family saunter.
