FLORENCE OREGON OFFERS MANY RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES

Enjoy the beauty of Florence, Oregon with the mountains, ocean, beaches and dunes just waiting for you. If you like to boat & fish you have your pick of more than 15 lakes. Siltcoos Lake offers fishing tournaments and Woahink is zoned as an airport landing site and it allows skiing and more. Coastal Lane County also offers 5+ campgrounds for your week-end getaway or full summer vacation. See the sun set on the sandy beaches, go for a horseback ride on the beach or follow the many trails with a guide. Scuba diving is awesome at the North Jetty, ride the waves or just take a quiet walk and pick up some agates or sea shells.

Play on the many trails on a 4-wheeler or sand rail at the staging areas at the South Jetty. In the right time of year you can even take your 4-wheel drive vehicle over the wall and drive down the beach, just don't get too close to the water and watch those sneaker waves!

If you enjoy the historical bay front you can park your car and take a walk to see all of the amazing stores and the treasures that they hold for all visitors. Sit in the Gazebo or walk down on the boat docks. Much more fun awaits your arrival to the fresh air of one of the most popular getaways on the pacific coast and in sunny, central, coastal Oregon.

Florence also offers a multitude of meeting places including the Three River's Casino which offers banquet rooms and meeting rooms, the Florence Event Center and even the Drifwood Shores Motel has meeting rooms. The Florence Public Library which was expanded in 2009, has meeting rooms also.

Downtown Florence has a Siuslaw Pioneer Museum and many historical buildings. There are restaurants serving nearly every type of food you can imagine from fresh caught seafood to specialty dishes and delicious pastries and desserts. Come to Florence on the central Oregon coast and find your new home and the life that is waiting for you here.
