Coos Bay and Charleston, Oregon
Those who travel to the south Oregon coast cannot miss the Coos Bay / North Bend area. It is centrally located and the largest town. But don't let its industrial look persuade you to skip it and move on. Take some time to explore the area and be certain to take a side trip over to charming Charleston, the Pacific Coast, the surrounding State Parks, and the lighthouse. Plus the Bandon Golf courses are a short distance south. Don't forget the Oregon Dunes National Recreation area to the north.
