Description
This is a view from the top of the 500 foot Sand Dune at Cape Kiwanda, looking north. Part of Oregon's beautiful coastline.
Cape Kiwanda is part of the Three Capes Scenic Route (along with Cape Meares and Cape Lookout). Kiwanda is the smallest of the three, but it's one of the best places to experience spectacular wave action. Pacific City is the home of the Pacific Dory Fleet. South of Cape Kiwanda is the dory boat launching area. North of Cape Kiwanda to Tierra Del Mar is a stretch of beach popular with picnickers. Kiwanda provides great hang gliding and kite flying opportunities. And of course the 500 foot sand dune.

Looks like it was well worth the climb. Beautiful shot.

Thank you for visiting Tony....I think it took me about a half hour to climb. My feet were sinking in the nice warm sand....so taking a step didn't get me far. Soon it became a challenge. I wasn't going to let this Sand Dune defeat me.

Thank you Elizabeth...I had to climb a whopping big sand dune to get this shot. It was well worth it. SE
