The Dunes Center was a converted home located on quiet Guadalupe Street. A large sign out front gave the Center's hours.

Out back were examples of fossils and bones that were found in the Dunes.

The side gate was the entrance. Note that ADA access was around the back. A curved path just inside the yard provided access to signs and brochures that were available even if the Center were closed.

Immediately ahead, once inside the Center, was a long wooden table with a cloth runner down its center, surrounded by a dozen wooden chairs.

The flagstone fireplace was unlit but surrounded by photos and other means of conveying information about the Dunes.

The second floor was a large open loft filled with exhibits. This was the children's corner.

The other end was given over to archaeological exhibits of the early cinema days.

A case was filled with examples of bones and fossils found in the Dunes.

Examples of bones and and fossils found in the Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes area were on display in a case.
