Enjoyed the best weather during two and a half days of beach bumming in Bandon, Oregon.
Just a short walk from the hotel through the pines and over the grass covered dunes to the beach.
I found a stump to sit on and watch the sunset.
Wondering if the tide was coming in or going out. Turned out to be almost high tide so I abandoned by stump.
Gifted by a rainbow at Facerock (far left).
Old Town Market along the Coquille River offering robust looking fresh organic vegetables and almost still wiggling fish and seafood along with a variety of creative arts and crafts.
Lighthouse at the mouth of the Coquille River which unfortunately didn’t get to tour.
Waves rolled high at the jetty.
Where I found an agate my first step onto the pebbled beach.
Giant driftwood smoothed by waves, wind and sand forms sculptural furniture.
Geologic marvels of honeycomb erosion.
Hole in rock at Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge had caught the corner of my eye in a quick flash a couple times while driving the Beach Loop Road between town and the hotel.
