Welcome to Florence, Oregon

Make Florence your coastal playground!

Here you’ll find an abundance of adventure—fun things to do and places to see on the Central Oregon Coast including uncrowded beaches, spectacular dunes, golf, fishing, horseback riding, ATV riding, sandboarding…and that’s just your first few days. Come, relive and share the youthful memories from family trips (remember that epic sandcastle you built?). Make new memories with friends and family—hiking, kite flying, picnicking, crabbing, whale watching, storm watching…so much to do you’re going to need award-winning lodging and dining options. You’ll easily find ALL THAT right here in the middle of the Oregon Coast.
