We love this beach when we are in Oregon. This is one of our go to spots for day use. The beach…read moreis awesome for finding shells, agates and driftwood. It's also fairly empty and quite. My dog really enjoys running around and playing here. Once we are done on the beach there are plenty of trails for her to walk on and wildlife to see. She especially loves the birds and the turkeys. It's easy to spend 4 hours here daily just exploring and enjoying the water. It's fairly clean and safe since the beach is a decent ways away from the road. We haven't camped here or used the restrooms. We just enjoy the water and the trails. It's a perfect place for a picnic on a warm day and an excellent area to stretch your legs on a car trip.

We arrived late after dark and it was very easy to check in with no ranger present at the gate house. In the morning we awoke to find a beautiful campsite with easy access to the beach and the Coquille River Lighthouse. We met friendly RVers right next to us and I would gladly stay here again. Generally, Bandon doesn't get as much attention as some of the other spots up the coast, but I really liked it here. The beach is quiet and peaceful and, although it doesn't have the crazy rock formations that some others do, it is definitely worth a visit. The driftwood here was nuts!

That isn't a problem for me, but it might be for you if your dog tends to run away when it gets a taste of freedom. That being said, the park is huge and there are no worries about using a chuckit and letting those balls fly. There is an agility area if you and your dog are into that (my dog ignores it). There is also a creek which I haven't explored yet but will. There are restrooms, a bucket for doggie water, and poop bags. I've seen the bag dispenser empty once so it does happen. Of course some don't pick up after their dogs but that happens everywhere. I haven't seen a huge accumulation of dog poop so far. I do clean it up when I see it.

No fees & a nice parking area as you enter off of Hull street, close to Newmark.

Very peaceful & the people we did see on the trail were polite & cordial.

Leadership loves to hide behind the excuse that "there is no funding" while ignoring active liabilities like the abandoned, disintegrating bridge site at John Topits Park. Leaving pre-2003 rotting timber and structural hazards to disintegrate into a protected wetland isn't just a maintenance backlog it's severe institutional negligence. Telling residents to "take an alternate route" while millions flow into commercial blueprints and administrative vanity projects is a joke. Fix the public safety hazards you already have instead of sweeping decades-old liabilities under the rug.

That being said this place is a business and not a standard "dog park" like I thought it was. But Shannon (owner) was very understanding and went above and beyond all my expectations of a paid for dog experience. I have traveled coast to coast with my dog and never have come across a better experience with my dog. Yes you do pay a small entry fee but with the equipment/toys she has makes it worth every penny. I wish there was something like this close to my house. Highly recommend.
