No snow? No problem! You don’t need winter weather to break out your board at Oregon’s famous coastal sand dunes. Sand Master Park in Florence — the world’s first sandboard park — boasts beginner to advanced slopes, bowls, a 40-foot ramp, and jumps centered on 40 acres of private sand dunes and surrounded by 200 acres of public dunes and forestland. The annual Sand Master Jam event is held the third full weekend of July. Individuals as well as groups are welcome to take a lesson from a world sandboard champion. The pro shop offers board rentals and all of the necessary gear, including sandboards, sand sleds, boogie boards and skim boards, surfboards, bicycles, sand sculpting, glass blowing and dune buggy rides!
