Old Town – Bandon is a delightful Oregon beach town. At the marina watch the boats go by, or have lunch at outdoor picnic tables. Explore the tide pools just west on the marina, where the Coquille River comes into the ocean. The town has everything you need for a fun stay, shops to buy kites to fly on the beach, ice cream, book and toy shops, a fish market, and coffee and hot chocolate when the weather is cold and gray. |

Coquille River Lighthouse – This lighthouse, constructed at the end of the 19th century, aided ships sailing up the Coquille River (the sand bar at the entrance to the river is tricky to navigate). The lighthouse is open daily May to October, and there are tours to the top of the lighthouse (wear closed-toed shoes). |
