Bandon Beach in Bandon, Oregon, United States Nov 8, 2025

On Oregon"s coast in the United States, Bandon greets visitors with salty air and the gentle clang of harbour bells. The town began as a small settlement in the 1850s and grew into a centre for timber and salmon fishing. Its maritime past endures in the restored Coquille River Lighthouse, whose beacon once guided ships safely to shore.
