About this place
Leave the crowds behind and walk beneath giant sand dunes in solitude at Fort Ord Dunes State Park in Monterey County, CA.
One of the best parts of Monterey is the beaches – but their popularity is also their weakness, so if you want seclusion head to the lesser-known Fort Ord Dunes for solitude and beautiful views of Monterey Bay and the Pacific Coast.
Historically, this location was chosen as the location for Fort Ord because of its defensibility. But fear not as access is easy, the views are expansive, and there is wildlife in abundance.
The beach is also a great place for trail running, hiking, and taking in another fantastic Pacific Ocean sunset.
Be forewarned that rip currents here can be severe so check with the local rangers on current conditions.
