Bandon, Oregon 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 wide variety shops and a collection of art galleries. 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, and exhibits of cranberry dishes.

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.

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 a perfect coastal vacation destination!
