| Are
you ready for your Oregon Coast Adventure?
Visit
Coos Bay, North Bend, and Charleston. Imagine miles of pristine, unspoiled beaches,
and the adventures they hold… from clamming and tidepooling to seal-watching and
sunset strolling. For a taste of excitement mixed in, hop on an all-terrain vehicle
and explore the Oregon Dunes, or rent a sandboard to experience adventures you'll
always remember. Do you feel the pull of the tides? Then catch a charter boat
out to sea to spy on migrating whales, take advantage of year-round fishing, or
do a bit of scuba diving.
Back
on land, tour a working forest or make a visit to the Prefontaine Memorial at
the Coos Art Museum. 24-hour gaming action can be found at the Mill Casino. Tour
the unique Myrtlewood factories, take a leisurely stroll through shops and antique
stores, and enjoy nature hikes, bird watching, and the gardens at Shore Acres
State Park. Come dinner time, enjoy fresh seafood at one of many fabulous restaurants,
or go crabbing for fresh Dungeness, and have it cooked for you on the docks!
Spend
some time in Oregon's Adventure Coast. You'll love it here!
