South of Lakeside we found Horsfall Dunes Beach Access. The Oregon Dunes extend along a large portion of the coast. Huge piles of white sand can be seen from the highway in many places. They attract "dune buggy" ATV/OHV vehicles, horse-back riders, and hikers.
At Horsfall there are campgrounds, picnic areas, and lots of access to the dunes and beaches. A handicap accessible wooden ramp allows easy access to the top of the dunes, where you can look down on the ocean shoreline. Many off-road enthusiasts were seen zooming up and down the sandy slopes.
The dunes seem to end near here, where the Umpqua River reaches into the ocean.
