About Bandon Beach
Bandon, on the southern Oregon coast, is famous for its dramatic beach studded with sea stacks — including the towering Face Rock — and for the world-renowned Bandon Dunes golf resort nearby. A charming Old Town and some of the most photogenic, rock-strewn shoreline in the state make it a scenic south-coast gem. The Pacific here is cold year-round — typically the upper 40s to upper 50s°F — so most visitors come for the scenery rather than swimming. Sneaker waves, cold water, and drifting logs are the real hazards, so check the safety flag above, never turn your back on the ocean, and keep well back from the surf line.
