From pioneer history to stunning Pacific views, shimmering sand dunes to sea lions and whales, the attractions in and around Florence, a town mid-way down the Oregon coast, are both natural and cultural. As the closest coastal stop for those coming from the Eugene area, Florence gets its fair share of valley visitors, but for those willing to stick around longer than just a short weekend the reward is a glimpse of the state's truly diverse beauty (dune buggy noise aside).
