We recommend long pants, long sleeve shirts, and close toed shoes, for your protection. If you have protective riding gear, you should bring it. We offer some protective riding gear (gloves, chest protectors) but cannot guarantee availability at the time of your rental.

It is encouraged, but not required. This may include body armor, a jersey, elbow pads, hip/tailbone pads, gloves, riding pants, knee pads, and/or boots.

Yes! Absolutely. A DOT approved Motorcycle helmet, with the chin strap fastened at all times, is required.

Yes! Goggles also included.

We have access directly from our rental office! No trailers or lengthy directions needed. Our access road takes about 3 minutes to reach the sand from our office.

Yes! However, it does take a little more time. We recommend a two hour rental if going to the beach (unless you want to hurry!)

We will offer you a map, show you designated riding areas during the safety orientation, and lead you to the sand and show you major landmarks. You are expected to come back on your own. It’s easy! Although we won’t be on the sand with you to watch you ride, we are just a few minutes away, in case you need our help. We are NOT a guide or tour service.

Yes! Part of the beauty of renting a quad is that the legal stuff is all taken care of!

We always recommend renting in the morning, before 12pm. In the afternoon, we tend to get busier. Also, the wind usually picks up in the afternoon. The only major change is wearing goggles for eye protection instead of sunglasses. We close at 6pm every day. For the last hourly rental, arrive at our office no later than 5pm each day.

Most renters rent for one hour. When riding to the beach, we recommend a two hour rental. We also offer half hour rentals for those who have time restraints!

Discounts are available for more than 4 hours of rental. Please call or email for details.

Only one person can sit on each of the quads we offer as rentals. Sorry – it’s state law!

No. Only one person per quad. Again, it’s state law. We DO offer side by side machines that carry 2-5 people. All passengers must be at least 4 years old AND safely fit in the seatbelt restraints. All passengers must wear an appropriately sized helmet also. The same rules apply on the sand that do on the highway; if your child requires a booster seat in your car, they must use the booster seat in the machine as well. All small children must have manager approval for riding, based on size and fit in the machine.

Quads: If under 16 years of age, state law requires a size and fit standard: Size and Fit Requirements Class I ATV (quad) A Class I ATV operator under the age of 16, must meet all the following minimum physical size requirements (Rider Fit) in relationship to the vehicle:

1. Brake Reach: With hands placed in the normal operating position and fingers straight out, the first joint (from the tip) of the middle finger will extend beyond the brake lever and clutch.

2. Leg Length: While sitting and with their feet on the pegs, the knee must be bent at least 45 degrees.

3. Grip Reach: While sitting upright on the quad with hands on the handle bars and not leaning forward, there must be a distinct angle between the upper arm and the forearm, and;

4. The operator must be able to turn the handle bars from lock to lock while maintaining grip on the handle bars and maintaining throttle and brake control. Disabled operators are allowed to use prosthetic devices or modified or adaptive equipment to achieve rider fit.

On average, an 8 year old child meets the size and fit requirements above and can ride a mini quad with parent approval. An average sized 11-12 year old typically meets the size and fit requirements for a full size quad. Of course, there are always exceptions and each person will fit a quad differently. Parent understanding and agreement with management is vital in the decision making of children riding machines.

Side by sides: 21 years of age with a valid driver’s license. For high performance machines, driver’s must be at least 30 years old with a valid driver’s license or receive manager approval on site.

Side by sides: at least 4 years old for all side by sides. Also, children must fit into a helmet appropriately and in the specified machine’s seat correctly.

Each machine has a slightly different seatbelt harness system. These are minimum requirements: we cannot guarantee your child will fit in a machine until we can properly assess the situation, in person and on site, with the machine available.

Goggles, helmets, safety training permit, safety orientation, and a lead out to the sand.

Per machine: Quads: $200. Side by side $300. A credit or debit card is required for all machine rentals.

If you want your permanent Ride ATV Oregon card, you can go to rideatvoregon.org and complete the online training. It takes about 2 hours. Be sure to PRINT your certificate and bring it with you at the time of your rental!

We offer a temporary, 30 day permit at the time of your rental. It is included with your rental, required to fill out (unless you already have your permanent card), and takes about 10 minutes.
