I love the sand (and trails). But there is something to be said about not being confined to a certain path. The wide open feeling is so amazing not to mention how much of the beach we can ride over here, many people go there and food/water/gas/firewood is very easy to aquire. I go to Florence OR for that experience, and then there is the desolate desert dunes where there is nothing but a gas station/minimart I go to Christmas Valley sand dunes.

No paddles is quite the experience. Even though I run em, its totally cheating lol

Prolly everyone with access to dunes would ride them ... like 2 Smoke says, there's a special wide open feeling everyone should have a chance to experience ... glad you have that link in your sig ... visit them while you can
yea i saw that on blastard's sig so i thought i would support it to...but yea the wide open feeling of being able to just go 6th gear WOT and creating a huge rooster tail out of sand is amazing, i ussually ride winchester bay and sand lakes...
I haven't played on the dunes but I'm taking a trip to florence at the end of the summer. I hope the blasty is done by then. Sand lake is a lot closer to me so I will be taking more trips there after the florence trip for sure. Where's winchester bay and is it a good spot?
winchester is pretty close to florence but winchester is just north of florence i think if i am remembering that right...and winchester is amazing the dunes are huge!!i like sandlakes to though, its close and thay have some pretty good sand trails in the place.
Here's an old link to some Oregon dune info.

I'm about 30 min south of Sand Lake and a couple hours North of Florence. It's a little farther South to Winchester Bay and Box Car.
Sand Lake is pretty small but it's close to us and there's a good Mexican restaurant in Pacific City so it makes a great place to train the youngsters and still have a great time.
Florence is our favorite riding with lotsa trails & lotsa space.
Winchester Bay can have some big steep dunes and of course it is host to the annual "Dunefest"

yea we ride sand likes 2 times a year and winchester for dunefest. oregon dunes is the best place to ride in my opinion...and i think i know what mexican restaraunt your talking about, when were there we go to the pelican most of the time though or places in tillamook.
I make it up to coos bay every now and then.Last weekend went out to the north jetti(samoa dunes) out in eureka ca.Small but about the only place you can ride.They are really cracking down on riding in the area.Cant ride any where or even camp because of some protected coastal plant.
