While some areas are restricted, the Oceano Dunes remain open to the public.

Pitt voted Democrat, same people who want to close our dunes, then proceeds to profit off our dunes. Go back to LA.

Who cares if the democrats want to close the dunes to rec vehicles. It’s the locals who want it close down. Sorry Bako dad.

No. A small, read that “tiny”, but loud mouthed group of “locals” want the dunes closed.


Some of them, having moved from wherever to the small strip of houses right on the dune line in Oceano, complain about others from wherever, using “their” dunes in front of their houses….where they moved to, after seeing the nice beach that you could drive on, and thought it would be a great place to live, until the reality of living on a nice beach to drive on exceeded their ability to decipher their desires, with others desire to enjoy themselves.


The issue of dust, particulate matter, silicate levels, and the climate change lie, was settled when the Coastal Commission and the anti-freedom club were found to be lying about it all along. Never mind that the entire Mesa is just another part of the ancient dunes, and got there by sand and dust blowing in the wind.


Nearly all of us actual locals (you know, those with ancestral roots going farther back in SLO county history, before there was a SLO county), have had zero problems with the beach or dunes.


We do have a problem, when newly arrived “locals” demand everyone else change their lives and lifestyles to accommodate them…
