For a unique experience, members of the California Four-Wheel Drive Club, Inc., will conduct free dune tours from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. The tours will offer visitors a great opportunity to see beautiful vistas, rolling dunes, lush coastal plant communities and abundant wildlife, all difficult to reach on foot. The tours will provide a new and unforgettable experience for visitors who have never had the opportunity to see the world that is found behind the coastal strand at Oceano Dunes. Visitor parking for the tours will be at the Grand Avenue day use parking lot, located at the foot of Grand Avenue in the nearby city of Grover Beach. In addition to four-wheel drive tours and Clam Festival activities, this popular area offers several opportunities for recreational enjoyment, including surf fishing, surfing, beach walking or bird watching, to name just a few.
Nearby communities offer a variety of restaurants and accommodations for the weekend visitor.
