Bruneau Dunes State Park, nestled in the heart of Idaho, United States, near the small town of Bruneau, is renowned for its remarkable landscape rather than a traditional beachfront. This unique park features the tallest single-structured sand dune in North America, with peaks rising about 470 feet above the surrounding desert floor. Unlike typical beaches, Bruneau Dunes State Park offers a blend of activities such as sandboarding, hiking, birdwatching, and stargazing. Given the park's inland dune environment, activities commonly associated with beaches like surfing or swimming are naturally absent. However, the park compensates with its stunning natural beauty and the serenity of its desert landscape. Bruneau Dunes State Park has few amenities, so plan your trip accordingly, although it does have bathroom access and a visitor center which provides educational exhibits and information about the park.
