Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area
6.3
I recommend arriving early, around 8 AM, to snag a good parking spot and beat the crowds. The sunrise over the dunes is stunning too!
Bring plenty of water and snacks because the place is huge and options inside are limited. You don’t want to end up super thirsty!
Imperial Sand Dunes
4.7
My advice is to wear sunglasses and a bandana. The sand can be super blinding and gets everywhere! I wish I had done this instead of wiping sand off my face all day
I think it's a good idea to rent your ATVs ahead of time. I waited too long, and by the time I went to find one, they were all booked out for the day. Save yourself the hassle.
I suggest bringing plenty of water and snacks. The heat can really sneak up on you, and buying food on-site can drain your wallet! I spent way too much at the snack stand.
I recommend visiting early in the morning, like 7 AM. The dunes are way less crowded, and the sunrise is stunning! Plus, you can beat the blazing sun later in the day.
