What a coincidence, I was looking for information on a Bandon, Oregon address when I found your site.
Maybe you would be interested in some of my thoughts on Bandon.
Getting use to the “Bandon Time” would be a change for me; the slow paced days were great for the week we were there however.
Beachcombing and tide pools
My new ambition in life is to be a beachcomber.
Bandon, Oregon has the most beautiful beaches on the West coast.
Massive sea stacks, crackling breakers and miles and miles of clean white sand. The uncrowned beach is just a plus for any beachcomber.
With my treasure bag in hand, camera around my neck- I was ready for a day of adventure.
You can walk for miles and not even feel it, picking up rocks, agates, shells, and driftwood. Decluttering your mind while looking for that Japanese glass float, blown in by the storms.
Tide pool around the sea stack rocks is especially interesting.
Sea Stars in orange and purple clinging by the hundreds to offshore rocks. The bright orange and purple against the green of the Anemone's make for some fantastic pictures,
We found several Sea Stars lying on the sand, out of the water and birds trying to get them. We picked them up and put them back in the tide pools.
We were surprised to see the Sea lions, unaffected by us taking a dozen pictures of them resting on the rocks, toasting in the sun.
This is as close as you could hope to get to a seal in the wild.
A wonderful, educational a relaxing, "Bandon Time day."
When we returned home I made a memories bottle for the shells and rocks we had found. Every time I see it a smile comes to my face as I reflect on the slow days of Bandon.
