Description

    Located just south of Winchester Bay, Umpqua ODNRA is home to the tallest sand dunes in the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. The area is easily accessed from Umpqua Beach #2 Parking sand access and Umpqua Beach #3 Day Use sand access (day use parking lots are open from 6am to 10pm.). Sand camp sites at Umpqua ODNRA are located directly on the sand. The skilled OHV rider will enjoy the challenge of riding the towering sand dunes and deep bowls. A ride to the top of a tall dune offers spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean. The beach is closed to OHV travel year round.
