I was in Bandon for 11 days on business in May. Almost every evening I would drive to this state park just to see the sunset. It has some picnic tables, plenty of parking and you can walk down a path to the beach.

The south coast has some of the most spectacular ocean views and beaches in Oregon. This site has trails and beach access. It is a good place to get a feel for Bandon. Great view and easy to get to.

We were staying a mile away at the Windermere (which is a great oceanfront hotel that is pet-friendly) and decided to drive to this scenic viewpoint as a starting point -- because we didn't want to miss the low tide viewing. Easy walkway down to the beach that drops you near the rocks where you can see lots of starfish,... More

Parking is good and the beach access is perfect! Great opportunity for some exercise. Also a safe place to park if you want to take a longer walk.

Every time I visit Bandon, I fall in love with the Oregon coast. This particular area is so beautiful and invigorating to me. It 's a great place to relax and forget your problems. It's such a peaceful place to connect with our Creator. I definitely felt His presence there. It's the perfect place to do some soul seraching about... More

Hit this one up at low tide so you can enjoy poking around the tidepools, formations, and sea caves. A little more crowded than some of the more tucked away beaches, but worth the trip nonetheless. Requires quite a bit of stair climbing, so not the best beach for those that require access or are unsteady on their feet.

Plenty of parking, nice place to sit and watch a sunset. A nice drive through town will get you there.

Yes this really does look like a face without using much imagination. It also is a nice spot to stop and have lunch.

Nice paved walk along the bluff with panorama ocean views.....best spot for viewing on Beach Loop Drive. Don't miss this place and also the Coquille Point scenic viewpoint just a few minutes away.
