Check this map before heading to shipwreck
Thursday, February 14, 2008 | 1 comment(s)
U.S. Bureau of Land Management staff has put up signs and rerouted traffic somewhat on Coos Bay's North Spit to ease congestion to the mystery shipwreck.
The Foredune Road is now one-way traffic starting at the first gate, past the shipwreck, south to the second gate. Travel on the re-route road will remain open to two-way traffic. One-way and detour signs are posted on the roads to help guide traffic.
• People should not try to drive there without 4-wheel drive. All vehicles are required to have an appropriate red or orange flag attached to the vehicle.
• ATVs heading south down the beach from the Horsfall Beach parking area must stop and turn around just south of the New Carissa shipwreck, at the Federal Aviation Administration tower.
• You do not need an ATV permit when you are on BLM sand roads on the North Spit (aka the South Dike Road or the Foredune Road). You do need an ATV permit if you are riding an ATV or driving a vehicle in the Horsfall area. No matter where you drive on the sand, you need the appropriate vehicle flag.
