Oceano dunes

Whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat or an adrenaline-pumping expedition, these best sand dunes along the California coast provide the perfect backdrop for both.

Oceano provides one of the only beaches in California where it is legal to drive. The Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area (SVRA) is open year-round. The area is popular with truck and dune buggy enthusiasts, as well as those looking to beat the heat, so reservations are recommended (particularly on holidays).

If the tide is right, drive out onto the beach and watch an incredible Pacific Ocean sunset

Looking for some sledding on your coastal California road trip? Head to Oceano Sand Dunes in Pismo Beach for ATVs and sledding on giant dunes.

One of the best ways to enjoy Oceano Dunes is on an ATV or a Sand Buggy. You can rent one and drive yourself or enjoy it all with someone else driving.

The best sand dunes in California include Oceano Dunes, Imperial Sand Dunes, and Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes Complex, each providing distinct experiences for visitors.
