We just spent 4 days there the first of August!!!! I LOVE that town. To understand, I grew up not far from there and hadn't been back in 30 yrs. To me it was a dirty little ocean town. BUT, they've improved a LOT. Lots of little stores to explore, some of the best restaurants on the coast imho, and a little jaunt to the lighthouse beach area and walking on the beach is great!!!!! Yes, I could spend a week there......I could spend 2!!!! My GF and her husband go there every month for a week!
Places to visit:
Old Town Bandon.....all the shops...wow. Includes Face Rock Creamery......ice cream and the best cheeses ever.
Wheelhouse Seafood Grill......BEST crab louis I've had EVER (I'm drooling)
Bandon Fish Market........best fish and chips and fried shrimp I've had in a long time!
I could go on forever.......so..yes, definitely GO there!!!!!
Oh -- we stayed at Bullards Beach state campground. NICE, easy to get in, level spots. People VERY respectful. :)
