Bandon

Saturday, December 11, 2010

Now that life has settled back down a bit we've picked back up our habit of exploring on the weekends.
High up on our list of places to explore-- Bandon, OR

Bandon is only 30 minutes south down highway 101. Old Towne Bandon was a cute little area that must be crawling with tourists during the on season. It's really quaint, has a fairly new vibe for a coastal town and of course, it was supremely beautiful.

We visited the docks, the Coquille River Lighthouse and some local beaches and viewpoints.

At the docks:





Need any live crap?

Views from the jetty:


The lighthouse was small and closed, whether for the season or disrepair, I couldn't tell, but I was particularly fond of the colors adorning it: Teal(oxidized copper), red & cream.







The beaches south of Bandon were incredible. Cathedral rock, the sea stacks & table top rock were beautiful, especially with the churning ocean and grey skies:








Oh, and Santa was there too:

I think Oregon might be one of the prettiest states ever. Wish you were here with me! Love you.
