Florence, Oregon – Forests, Lakes and Rivers, Oh My!

Florence sits at the mouth of the Siuslaw River on the central Oregon coast midway between Newport and Coos Bay.  The area offers an amazing array of outdoor recreation opportunities. There are sparkling lakes, a river, evergreen forests, the Pacific Ocean and sand dunes. Just north of town 40 miles of wind-sculpted dunes are part of the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. This region offers everything from dune buggy tours, kayaking the river or ocean, riding horses on the beach, bird watching to hiking.

Old town Florence is located immediately east of Highway 101 and the historic Siuslaw River Bridge. Here visitors can find various shops including art galleries, restaurants, antiques, gifts, ice cream and other specialty foods.
