Setting and  Attractions: 

Floras Lake is a premier windsurfing spot on the coast.  It’s also popular for kayaks and  kite flyers.  The lake is 25  square miles and at the lakeside Curry County operates a campground.  From the day-use area at Floras  Lake there are easy trails leading to the beach.  Walking access is to some areas  and parts of the beach are restricted for protection of snowy plover  habitat from March 15 to September 15.  

North and  South Beach Trails: 

The  north trail access to the beach heads straight out from a bridge next to  the boat ramp for a quarter mile to the beach.  It’s possible to continue walk  north along the beach for several miles.  The trail south along Floras Lake  takes you to South Beach which offers a short walk along the beach, ending  at the impressive headland cliffs.

Cape Blanco (Sixes) Airport Trail: 

From South Beach you  can connect with this trail leading to the Cape Blanco Airport along a  dirt road which is great for mountain bikes.  

Oregon Coast Trail (Blacklock Point):

At South Beach you can also connect with the Oregon Coast  Trail heading south to Blacklock Point (see Blacklock Point description)  along the bluffs with a diverse terrain and uphill stretches.
