Bandon is a town that puts its own unique spin on what it means to be on the Oregon Coast. With a storied past, the people of Bandon have built a place worth experiencing in its fullness.
At the heart of Oregon’s Southern Coast, Bandon is a town with a drive to do it better. Their early history is shaped by a fire that destroyed much of town. Now, everything seems a bit more exemplary in Bandon — the beaches feel more beachy, the historic district more charming, the local agriculture more iconic. Bandon’s large swaths of cranberry fields net the city the proud title of “Cranberry Capital of Oregon.” Bandon Dunes Golf Resort is world-famous and widely regarded as home to some of the best links golf courses in the country. It’s almost as if the heartbeat of Bandon yearns for a truer expression of anything they do. Explore the town, take it all in, and decide for yourself.
