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,

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.

Guided horseback beach rides for beginners ages 6 and up. Rides are 90% beach and go out at 10, 12, 2, 4 and 6pm after daylight savings.
Reviewed By toryd435 - Boise, United States
My husband and I went horseback riding through this company. They thoughtfully paired us with horses that matches our sizes and experience, took the time to train us how to show the horse where to move and stop and speed up and gave interesting information along the ride. Scott took lots of photos of us on the horses at the turn around point. Considering how many dangerous things could happen, Scott did an excellent job of keeping novices safe on horses, both from our inexperience and from dogs and tourists on the beach that could spook the horses. They do an impressive job.
