South Jetty Dog Ponds

Address: Sand Dunes Rd, Florence, OR 97439

Beach access and walking trails make this an appealing coastal stop, though wind and blowing sand are common. Low tide brings calmer conditions, and sticking to the path near the restrooms helps avoid a scramble over rocks. Leashes are required throughout, and visitors have noted occasional issues with trash and limited parking lot upkeep. No waste bags, water, or benches are provided, so come prepared.
