Sand Beach Campground & Dunes
Take Galloway Road (at approximately MP 5) and you’ll find a place where ATV enthusiasts abound because of the sprawling dunes - so expansive they are known as the ``Other Dunes on the Oregon Coast.''
Sand Beach is divided into the East Dunes campground, the West Winds campground area and the Fisherman Day-Use area. In between these sections, there are numerous sandy trails meandering throughout the small, brownish pines. Over 100 campsites are here, although some are unofficial camping areas where people bed down in an open sandy area that’s cordoned off from the raging ATV’s. In this area, there are no reservations or designated spots, but the rest of the official campground requires reservations.
Facilities include tables, vault and flush toilets, fire rings and drinking water. Fees.
From Sand Beach northward, it's a sandy, grassy, dune-covered stretch of about 4 miles until the secretive cove at the bottom of Cape Lookout - and not much else. But after the first mile it's usually pure solitude as you leave the roaring ATV's far behind. It’s run by the Forest Service. 877-444-6777.
