Adventure Safely: Stay on Designated Routes
The Oregon Dunes are home to over 400 wildlife species, from the western snowy plover, a shorebird that lays eggs in open sand, to bald eagles and osprey, to the coastal marten, a carnivore in the weasel family. The unique habitat is also home to a wide variety of plant life, from sand verbena to shore pine.
It’s important to care for this special place and preserve it for future generations to enjoy. Pay attention to designated routes and riding area boundaries. Download or familiarize yourself with maps ahead of your trip. Don’t cut through vegetation or create your own trail.

Wade Eastin discovered an old dory boat in a garage in Pacific City and knew it was built by his grandfather. A decade later, Wade and the fishing vessel, Jane’s Diamond, are still out catching Oregon salmon and lingcod in familiar familial waters. Wade’s partnership with Oregon Fish Co. keeps his catch local and sustainable.

Baby Seal Pups
“Oregon and Washington typically see harbor seals born throughout spring and into late summer. These young animals use time on land to regulate body temperature and rest. However, if a young pup is onshore alone the mother may not return if humans are too close. Thus, wildlife experts suggest giving seal pups plenty of space by observing them from a distance, and while they are absolutely adorable, do not touch them. Any interference from humans that could cause early separation between newborn pup and mother could be detrimental to the pup’s ability to survive.
Marine mammals are protected under the Marine Mammal Protection Act. Under this federal law it is illegal to move, touch, harass, feed, or kill marine mammals including seal pups. Harbor seals live on land for nearly half their lives breeding, molting, resting, and raising their offspring. Molting occurs after pups are weaned and to retain warmth and energy molting seals often stay on land for extended periods of time. Human encroachment and domestic dog interactions are challenges for the health and well-being of both young and mature seals.
If you come across a seal pup, please contact the Marine Mammal Stranding Network by calling 1-866-767-6114. Local wildlife officials may post educational signs that encourage the public to keep a safe distance away from the animal while the situation is monitored by experts. Most of the time the animal is healthy and in need of a rest before it rejoins with its mother or re-enters the water. Last year the Seaside Aquarium responded to and placed signs on 21 harbor seal pups all of which successfully left the beach.”
