This scenic coastal spot features a large rock with face-like features.
Face Rock State Park has a myriad of beautiful sea stacks that make for exceptional photography in the right lighting conditions. Face Rock itself is not all that interesting on its own, but the large number of beautiful sea stacks are simply terrific. Definitely worth a stop if you are near Bandon Beach,

A park located on the Oregon Coast with access to Coquille Point. From Coquille Point, access the beach or see Oregon Islands Wildlife Refuges, with seabirds, shorebirds, seals, and tide pool creatures.
If you have time for only one place to see the coastline in Bandon, please go to Coquille Point at the end of 11th Street right next to the Bandon Beach Motel. We have come to Bandon for 31 years and we spend most of out time at this location. Easy paved walk along the bluff...benches to sit on...a great place if mobility is an issue or you can walk down the steps (100+) to the beach and walk. I didn't know it was called Kronenberg Park !! Try to be there at sunset because some are extraordinary like this one last week.

Bandon State Park was a very peaceful place to spend a morning. The sea stacks of Devil's Kitchen were especially interesting from a photographic perspective, and I found myself truly enjoying wandering along the beach with my camera. If you are in the area, Bandon Beach State Park is definitely worth a visit.

Circles in the Sand creates walkable art on the beach in Bandon, Oregon. Public schedule is year round with the Summer Season being May through September (check website for dates and times). Labyrinth artist Denny Dyke creates his Dreamfield Labyrinth with a single path meandering through the entire pattern with no wrong turns or dead ends. There is no charge to attend an event and the path is kid and pet friendly.
A secret gem of an activity in the quaint little town of Bandon Oregon. An all volunteer team, under the direction of a fantastic man named Denny. They create a labyrinth to walk through (about a half mile) in the sand at low tide among the most beautiful setting on the southern Oregon Coast. Get there early to watch them create and explore the caves and tide pools around. If you want to volunteer to help rake, you can sign up on their website: sandypathbandon.com or on their FB page. It truly is amazing and a wonderful experience. We stayed in old town at the Bandon Inn. Get a top room for a better view and you won’t hear others above you. Another fantastic activity is crabbing off the pier. Rent everything from Tony’s Crab Shack. Then have them clean & cook the delicious crab and eat them right there feet away from catching them. It’s quite the experience.

Bandon is the only place on the Oregon coast that I prefer. The beach is great, as is the rock collecting. The wind was really not bad around the jetty.

First of all the playground is huge and kids love it. There are baseball diamonds, walkers, joggers and bikes. They also have a disc golf course. Amazing! No one will ever be bored here! Worthwhile to see!

The United State's largest wild animal petting park.
I lived near the famous San Diego Zoo and this is a great small zoo expereince. I've never seen hippos standing outside the water, and the emus were very friendly poking their beaks in the car.. One thrilling aspect was literally driving VERY SLOWLY through the buffalo heard and 2 bulls decided to clash heads together right in front of my heed!. Go early, we were the 4th car in line when it opened, and the animals are awake and lively. as we were leaving the drive through part, they were feeding a tiger raw meat as he stood up on his hind legs against the fence! Even the area you can walk around at the entrance, which is free is very enjoyable, with a petting zoo, and beautiful birds. We got an up close experience with a cheetah on a leash for my grandaughter, which is extra... The cafe was quite good and reasonably priced.
