Beaches to buggy @ Oregon Coast?

MDK - 3-2-2012 at 09:34 PM

We visit the Oregon Coast every year for a family reunion kind of thing on my wife’s side, and this year I will have a buggy to bring with me, unfortunately I have been overruled having it at Seaside. Looks like they will be going back to pacific city again. My question is can I buggy those beaches? Any suggestions in that area?

Is it Pacific City, Wa? Pacific Beach?

no Pacific City OR. Sorry Jeff I didnt know there was a Pacific City in WA. I will get in touch if I can ever make it up that way. Anyone have any information on Pacific City OR. beach? or Neskowin OR?
thanks in advance for any info!

Haystack Rock at Pacific City is right in front of a great beach. You can go south of there to get away from the wind shadow or just north at the point.

MDK, I was hiking in that area this past year. There is a large ORV area just North of Pacific City. Sand lake Recreation area. It provides access to the beach There is a lot of open area North. You would have to compete with the ORV folks however. Lots of Dunes to play on. Not sure of the conditions South.

In those orv areas you might need a permit and a flag on a pole.

wont a kite on a string take the place of a flag on a pole :) just kiddin. I will look into it thanks! I have been to Haystack, so its okay to buggy there? I wont get kicked off ? probably go south of Haystack, north is a lot of people. what are the dates for Fall SOBB? I will be in Pacific City 1st week of Sept, if its around the same time maybe i will take the 2 hour drive up to Sunset.

Typically anywhere from about 20 to 30 or so. And some evening entertainment as well at buggy camp.

Group photo from last year gives you some idea of the number in attendance.

Crazy, at 32 I could actually be the youngest one in attendance this year lmao. Does everybody pretty much pass out at 8 or so? :roll: :P

The ORV area near Pacific City (Sand Lake), does require a 8 foot pole and triangle flag mounted on your vehicle. I would not reccomend riding there. More often then not sand lake ressembles "Road Warrior"!
Most of the quad, and bike riders out there do not understand our need to tack, right of way, etc. not saying that they are rude, they just don't see us out there enough.

Lincoln City beaches tend to be narrow and crowded.
There's a couple of places in Newport.

u2u me for more on Newport.
