Judge Rules In Favor To Protect Motorized Recreation At Oceano Dunes - Sand Sports Super Show Last week, Friends of Oceano Dunes scored a huge victory for OHV recreation at Oceano Dunes SVRA and the judge ruled in their favor.

A WIN for Friends of Oceano Dunes

Today was a HUGE victory for the OHV Community, the users of the Oceano Dunes SVRA, local businesses, and those who have been bullied by the Coastal Commission. Thank you to our amazing legal team for taking on the CCC and winning.

The OHV ban will NOT go into effect, and Pier Avenue beach access will NOT be closed!

This is a massive win, but we are just getting started! We have many other lawsuits in court to expand access, reclaim what has been wrongfully taken and to return Oceano Dunes to its glory. Our legal team is working away on our upcoming Quiet Title lawsuit to establish our Implied Dedication permanent use of Oceano Dunes for OHV & Camping Recreation and to return the acreage that has been illegitimately taken.

Please celebrate with us today, but continue to support our expensive legal fight!

With great sadness I have to announce Ken Oyer past away last night. He was a great off road enthusiast and helped at so many events, CORVA and was a great guy.

Oceano Dunes camping will reopen on April 26. We are happy to see that Parks is finally listening to the users, to get families back on the beach. Friends proposed this exact solution to reopen camping at Oceano Dunes back on April 12.

Weeks of unnecessary camping cancellations could have been avoided if Park Management would have followed our proposed plan and allowed us to help. Everyone, have fun out there camping with your families again! Please remember to follow the Park rules, creek crossing guidelines & keep our Park clean. Be safe & enjoy!

Helping at Frank Raines this weekend

So far the plan is to put up some more fencing, so a trail can be opened, and taking down temporary fencing.
Also cleanup possibly creek, trails, camp.
People can bring tools they think might help like wheelbarrows, shovels, hammers, gloves, wire cutters, post hole digger, small chainsaw, etc

Don’t forget Saturday 5:30 Mexican Potluck and Friends of Frank Raines Meeting.
Can't come for the weekend, then come for Saturday.
