	Bandon, Oregon is located on the Southern Oregon Coast on the Pacific Coast Scenic Byway, US Highway-101. Bandon, OR has a population of about 3,000 year round residents but its population swells in the summer. Bandon is named after a city in Ireland. Recently there has been an advertising effort to call the area “Bandon by the Sea.” Bandon's Historic Old Town lies at the north end of town on the south bank of the Coquille River. Old Town is full of interesting shops. Across First Street you will find Bandon's Boat Basin.
One of Bandon’s main industries is the growing and processing of cranberries. You can find cranberry bogs both north and south of town. Sometime in early September they have their annual Bandon Cranberry Festival. It has been a tradition here for over 60 years. Visit the Chamber web site listed below for current information. Bandon's most photographed landmark is probably the Coquille River
	Lighthouse built in 1896. It is now a non-operational historic site. It can be reached through Bullards Beach State Park. By far the most spectacular attraction is the beach west of downtown Bandon. There is a high bluff along the ocean here and Bandon has provided stairways to reach the beach.
