Florence

Florence occupies the north bank of the Siuslaw River near its meeting with the Pacific Ocean on Oregon’s central coast. Its riverfront Old Town preserves the feel of a working coastal settlement, while the 1936 Siuslaw River Bridge, designed by Oregon engineer Conde McCullough, carries US Route 101 across the water. South of town, the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area begins a 40-mile stretch of shifting sand, wetlands and coastal forest extending toward Coos Bay. The ocean, river and dunes give Florence a distinctly varied coastal setting. See how Florence fits into Oregon’s central coast by browsing webcams nearby.
