Collection: Cape Kiwanda, Oregon

Some flying sites are destinations. Cape Kiwanda becomes a habit.

Perched above the Pacific Ocean on Oregon’s rugged north coast, Cape Kiwanda is a place where pilots trade altitude for airtime. The lift is smooth, the scenery is world-class, and a quick evening session has a way of turning into one more run… and then another.

Known for its towering sand dune, steady ocean breeze, and iconic Haystack Rock, Cape Kiwanda has become a rite of passage for pilots discovering dune soaring, miniwings, parakites, and the simple joy of flying low and close to the terrain.

For pilots who understand that sometimes the best flying doesn’t require a mountain.
