    We rolled into Bandon on an early Sunday evening. We settled in and were headed out to Alloro's for their highly recommended crab bisque. Problem was that by 8pm Alloro's and most businesses had closed down for the evening. It was ok, because it gave us a chance to walk the waterfront as the sun was setting. The boardwalk is a short, very beautiful walk along the water. There is artwork lining the fence, there are several wooden sea themed sculptures. Tony's Crab Shack caught my eye, with signs saying live crab served here--too bad it was also closed. Across bay you can see the lighthouse, making a spectacular view as the sun was setting. Such a cute little town. Our brief stop here will be a favorite memory mine from this road trip through the Oregon coast.

    Semi precious stones, natural specimens, jewelry, this is a rockhound's dream…read more Being a former rockhound I always enjoy coming in here to see the variety of specimens.... Feldspars, quartz, jade, geodes,..... the list goes on. Here you can buy rough specimens for display or jewelry making. They also provide a wide variety of polished stones in various shapes of cabochons for those who may want a more freestyle form of jewelry or pendants. As you navigate the store you come across the jewelry itself with a wide variety of pendants, rings bracelets and more. You can also find some porcelain here as well as different wall hangings and a few windsocks. They happen to have a US Army windsock which I grabbed up instantly! Both of my nephews are now enlisted with the most recent being Special Forces so I was glad to find this windsock. The last time I was in Bandon I grabbed the Marines windsock to represent my other nephew. The salesperson gave me a discount because all they had left was the display, which was brand new anyway! The staff I find to be very knowledgeable about stones, but it seems to be a new person every time I come to town. This shop is loaded with eye candy for the gemstone enthusiast! There are specimens and jewelry everywhere!

    I love their selection in here. Very interesting selection of unique gemstones. I bought two pieces…read morehere. Haven is a wonderful gemologist and told me the origins of every gem I was interested in. Remember, everything does not need to end In politics. There are so many other things in life that we should all enjoy! Like the amazing pendants. Isn't my new pendant beautiful? The talented Haven used Red Plume Agate, from Oregon, blue lace agate from South Africa and Laguna agate from Mexico. This will forever remind me of Bandon.

    I spontaneously detoured into Old Town in Bandon after seeing how crowded the beach and waterfront…read morebusinesses were. No agate beachcombing on this stop (8/28/24). The next door bakery had closed earlier, so I decided to check out this indie bookstore and gallery instead. Ended up finding a lone copy on the shelf, Oregon Coast by Barbara Tricarico. Perfect souvenir keepsake. Nice collection of titles and gift items, pleasant counter person.

    I've been coming to this bookstore for years…read more I love the ambiance and the selection of books has always been unusual and quite broad even though it's not a huge store. It seems like their selection of gift items has expanded over the years. It also seems very thoughtful, classy and includes many unique and fun things. Puzzles, art supplies, coloring books, journals, t-shirts, and jewelry were on display along with the books. They also carry cool postcards that are a step above the regular ones available everywhere else. I've scored some great deals here as well. They offer remainders and the last two times I've been here I've scored cool history works at great prices. Service is quiet and calm, but warm too. In other words, they let you browse as much as you want, but also seem accessible for help and/or questions. I love coming here when I'm in the area!
