Winchester Bay is home to some of the most epic sand dunes on the West Coast, and there’s no better way to experience them than behind the wheel of a side-by-side or ATV. Whether you’re an experienced rider who lives for throttle therapy or a first-timer ready to try something bold, the Oregon Dunes welcome all levels. The terrain is wide open and ever-changing—rolling hills, steep climbs, sweeping views, and adrenaline-pumping descents that make every ride unforgettable. Don’t own a rig? No problem. Local rental companies have you covered with well-maintained machines, safety gear, and friendly tips to get you riding with confidence. Rentals are available by the hour or for the whole day, so you can cruise at your own pace. It’s not just about the rush—it’s about the freedom. The wind in your helmet, the roar of your engine, and the sheer thrill of exploring miles of open sand with the Pacific Ocean as your backdrop. It’s the kind of ride that turns into a core memory. www.DiscoverWinchesterBay.com/SandGuide Looking for a campsite or cabin with direct dunes access?
