Bandon-by-the-sea is a small, charming
coastal town. Its sights and shops are almost all within walking
distance of the renovated Old Town section, which makes it the
perfect place for strolling, shopping and dining while you're
on holiday. The Old Town area is just off Highway 101, and includes
a collection of art galleries, curio shops, restaurants, and the
local Chamber of Commerce. It's right next to the boat basin,
so it's easy to walk down to the basin for a breathtaking ocean
view.
Bandon is Oregon's unofficial Cranberry Capital, and has many
cranberry products and over 900 acres of cranberry bogs to back
up the claim. The Cranberry Festival, held in September, features
a parade, dances, a crafts fair, exhibits of cranberry dishes
and even a high school "Cranberry Bowl" football game.
The Beach Loop is a popular road tour. It winds along the coast
near many craggy sea stacks, including the Garden of the Gods,
Table Rock, Cat and Kittens Rock and Elephant Rock. The most impressive
of these is known as Face Rock. Local legend says that Face Rock
is the face of an Indian maiden that was frozen into stone by
an evil spirit. The Cat and Kittens Rock are her animals that
were thrown into the sea and turned to stone by the same evil
spirit.
Interesting shops in 19th century buildings, spectacular coastal
scenery, salmon and bottom fishing, windsurfing and just walking
along the ocean beach all make Bandon-by-the-sea your perfect
coastal vacation destination!
For scenery, location and beauty, Bandon is a treasure to visit.
