Oregon's coastline is dotted with countless state parks, heritage sites, recreational areas, scenic corridors, waysides and overlooks. U.S. Route 101, a scenic byway, parallels the entire coast. This peaceful view shows off the beauty found along the Pacific seaside. Bandon Beach, home to this wonderful view, is found south of Coos Bay.
Bandon is known for its cheese production, its Face Rock Wayside Park and the marvelous, but tiny Coquille River Lighthouse. Lighthouse visitors should take the route to Bullard State Park. Bandon's sightseers can view Face Rock and enjoy the lore of the Nah-So-Mah Tribe along Bandon Beach Loop Drive.
