Ideally
situated on the Central Oregon Coast, Dunes City is located amongst
towering trees and sparkling lakes. Siltcoos and Woahink lakes provide a
myriad of recreational activities as well as numerous private shoreline
and vista properties for the quiet community of 1,330 residents.
Visitors fortunate enough to discover this area located six miles south
of Florence, Oregon are treated to such amenities as fishing, boating,
water sports, bird watching and mushroom hunting. Canoe and kayak
enthusiasts will uncover natural secrets along the recently developed
Siltcoos River Canoe Trail. A few minutes' drive will lead to ocean
beaches, sand dunes, nature trails, camping areas and prime locations
for crabbing and clamming. Dunes City is a rarity in that it has no city
tax base, no active police force, and no city operated water/sewer
systems. What it does have is one of the lowest crime rates in the
state, well-maintained roads and unparalleled scenic beauty. The unusual
formation of Dunes City in 1963 came about when 629 residents decided to
stand up against a Federal mandate.
