Coos Bay is a charming little coastal city many Oregonians flock to for a little escape from reality. And right in the heart of the downtown area sits the Coos Bay Boardwalk, a delightful place to walk and wander. This nice, easy, 1.4-mile stretch takes you past stunning views of the bay and the little town itself, and it’s well worth paying a visit.

The Coos Bay Boardwalk is one of the city's best known and favorite attractions.

The boardwalk is a short stretch of wood plank pier that hosts a fish market, informative displays, and unparalleled views of Coos Bay.
This trail can't really be considered a hike by any stretch of the imagination -- but it's a pleasant nature walk in any season.

This is a great place to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the downtown area and enjoy the sounds of the sea.
The boardwalk features three pavilions, all with informative displays that will teach you about the natural and human history of the area.

The lumber industry played a huge role in the city's development, and it's fascinating to learn how the little town came to be.
