The Florence Experience
Sand. Ocean. Lakes. River. Forests. There’s just too much to do in one day! Come explore one of the best beaches in Oregon and discover why Florence is known as Oregon’s Coastal Playground.
Craft your adventures from countless options. Play golf on a world-class links course, zip along the mystical towering dunes in a thrilling high-speed sand rail, glide downhill on a sandboard (similar to snowboarding but easier, warmer, dryer, and more fun), observe sea lions in their natural environment, kayak from a coastal lake to the beach and back, soar in a biplane, ride horses on the beach or in the forested mountains, build a sandcastle, fly a kite, comb a beach, visit a colorful tide pool burgeoning with life, or stroll uncrowded beaches at sunset.
Oh, and did we mention the quaint-but-not-commercial shopping, galleries, coffee shops, restaurants, and night spots?
Just don’t try to do it all in one day. That’s why we’re here—to give you that comfortable hideaway to rest and recharge for the next day’s memory-making adventures.
Bring the family, that special someone, your golf buddies, your bargain-crazed shopping friends, your poker group, your classic car or motorcycle group, your book club, a civic organization, a church group… or just come alone for a memorable retreat.
