Cool educational center with trails. Wildlife and plants galore, and Native Americans were living around here too.

Through the years, coastal towns have gone to great lengths to attract visitors. There are…read morefestivals, of course, but I'm more fascinated by the wacky ways that some places have tried to generate buzz. Like ghost stories and bizarre events like the Redhead Roundup they used to have in Lincoln City. But as a visitor to your city, I'm really interested in three things: -- Easy (free) parking -- Collection of shops and restaurants within walking distance -- That certain something that is hard to quantify and highly subjective - charm Bandon-by-the-Sea has all this and more. But rather than mention the city in general, I need to call attention to the Port of Bandon and River Walk. Along the Coquille River in Old Town they've built and beautifully maintained a number of visitor friendly attractions. A pier for fishing and crabbing (they provide free life vests for kids), an outdoor amphitheater and enclosed picnic shelter. Even during the summer months, coastal towns can be windy and chilly, so having a glass structure on the pier so you can enjoy the view without the cold is very welcoming. The shelter has one large community table and chairs all uniquely carved out of wood. They even have an outlet for those wanting to hop on their laptop or charge their phone. Bandon Fish Market is close by and very crowded, so a lot of people were grabbing food to go and eating it here. The River Walk is filled with public art and is located right in the heart of Old Town. I think my son pet over 100 dogs that afternoon. So kudos to Bandon for making it easy and fun to visit your city.

Kudos to the local municipality for knowing all of the correct priorities for a tourist hot spot…read moreand then some: 1) Spacious, free, public parking in the quaint bustling little "old town" tourist hub. Including boat trailer and RV parking. 2) Clean, free, centrally located public bathrooms. 3) A freaking water fountain/ water bottle filler. Praise be. And thank you. 4) A WORKING bike repair center complete with tools and a pump!!!! This saved my bacon during our recent visit- brought the bikes, forgot the pump. OOPS. (and the local bike repair place is closed this week- seriously made all the difference here.) 5) Public access fishing and crabbing Pier complete w/ local art and a boardwalk. Out of the ballpark, Bandon.
