Start your visit to the Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes Complex off on the right foot by visiting the Dunes Center in Guadalupe, the gateway to the Dunes Complex. We can provide visitor information, directions, local knowledge and expertise, guided walks, exhibits, and field guides. The Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes Complex, also known as the Oceano Dunes, is our area of focus and is comprised of 18 miles of coastline and is one of the most ecologically significant and largest intact coastal dune ecosystems on earth. A significant portion of the nearly 22,000 acres is under public management and open for recreation. Through education, we seek daily to encourage our visitors, young and old alike, to be good stewards of the environment. The Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes are a National Natural Landmark and this beautiful natural resource is a perfect place to visit and enjoy nature; our visitor center provides information and activities for all of our visitors. |
