When you're planning your
vacation along the
Oregon Coast, don't miss Sand Lake Dunes! It's along the Three
Capes Scenic Route
just 6 miles or 12 minutes north of Pacific City. You can rent
a quad or a mini dune buggy from us and explore the Sand
Lake Dunes at your own pace. Enjoy a morning cruise along the trees or
pose for an afternoon picture along the breathtaking beach. We're family
friendly too! Our smallest quads have remotes and leashes to help parents
keep a safe pace. Family fun for everyone.
Our
ATV and Buggy Rentals:
We are just down the road from the Sand Lake Dunes and have quads and
mini buggys to take to with you to the riding area. We provide the use
of a trailer, helmets and goggles.
Dunes:
Sand Lake Dunes Recreation Area includes 1076 acres of the Siuslaw National
Forest. The riding dunes and beach are between Cape Lookout (north) and
Sand Lake Estuary (south). The Pacific Ocean is the beach-riding boundary
(west). Galloway Road and the Three Capes Scenic Route Road are borders
to the east.
Photo
opportunities:
The views are spectacular from the beach and way up high between the first
and second bowls. That's where you can see Cape Lookout, Cape Kiawanda
and Haystack Rock, all along the Pacific Ocean. The sunsets from these
views are marvelous. There is also a beautiful shoe tree that many riders
have contributed to. Swooping trails, donut trees, washboards and mogals.
There are wonderfully crafted sandrails that visit the dunes now and then.
Many Sand Lake Duners are climbing or jumping the dune crests, which would
be some cool photos. Look for pelicans and seagulls, standing together
in the shallow surf, fishing. Untouched Dunes are across the East end
of the riding park with the forest and mountains expanding beyond.
Nearby
Towns:
Pacific City and Tillamook are the nearest large towns. Sand Lake has
a quaint little store and gas station.

There are many camping accomodations and RV parks within a few minutes
drive of the dunes. Thousand Trails is situated within a very beautiful
strip of old growth forest along the Tierra Del Mar beach. Cape Kiwanda
RV Park and Resort is next to to the scenic Haystack Rock and Cape Kiwanda.
They're the campground with all those bunnys. Tomichi Village RV Park
