Whale watching Near Bandon
Face Rock, located 3 miles (5 km) to the south, offers a great opportunity to view whales as they travel up and down the coast.
Face Rock
After visiting Old Town, head south along Beach Loop Drive and wander along the coast. Be certain to stop at Face Rock on the southern edge of town. A large parking lot makes it easy to stop and enjoy a stroll along the beach at Bandon.
There is a Native American legend about this rock: Some say they hear a maiden's voice with the wind. While standing on the cliff overlooking the ocean you may be able to pick out her face facing skyward on Face Rock.
There is a well-kept trail to the beach, and several rocky intertidal areas to explore tide pooling at low tide. A good spot for whale and wildlife watching. There is no fee to use the park. It is located just west of US Route 101 and south of Old Town Bandon.
