Florence revolves around the dunes that sprawl throughout our coast. There are many weekend events in the early winter that focus on various activities in the dunes, including the Dune Buggy show, the Motocross Obstacle Course, the Modern Dune Buggy Race, and a Dune Mush. All of these events take place in the Oregon Dune National Recreation Area, which starts in Florence.
