The Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes is an ecosystem along the Central California coast, both in San Luis Obispo County and in extreme northwestern Santa Barbara County. The Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes Preserve accounts for 18 miles along the San Luis Obispo County coast, and includes a variety of dune habitats, as well as several endangered and threatened species. A portion of the southern extent was formerly used for oil exploration and development, and is undergoing restoration.

The Dunes Center is an agency developed to promote the conservation of this ecosystem through education, research and cooperative stewardship. It receives funding from both private and public sources.
