Oregon’s stunning coastline is beyond compare, and there’s no better way to spend a day than exploring a beautiful beach. Here’s a serene beach that’s one of our state’s most spectacular hidden gems.

Sunset Bay is a beautiful spot just north of Bandon. The little bay is protected by majestic cliffs, giving it a secluded feel.

You'll love spending the day exploring Sunset Beach, which is gorgeous year-round. Bring a picnic lunch, some sand toys, and your camera. You can easily while away the hours just watching the ocean waves and breathing in the fresh, sea air.

As the tide recedes, you'll find interesting bits of driftwood and other beach treasures. It's interesting to discover all the things that were covered by the ocean waves just hours ago.

Pups will be in heaven on this little beach where they can frolic and play in the waves and fetch sticks and balls for hours. Your dog is welcome at this state park; just make sure to clean up after him so the beach is nice for everyone to enjoy.
