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.
