Hike Bandon’s History

Archaeologist and historian, Reg Pullen will lead a three mile walking tour of Bandon, including Old Town and the beach near the South Jetty.

Reg will share all the local lore and colorful history of Bandon while touring various historical points of interest. Starting at the Museum, you’ll tour the waterfront and Old Town before heading to the beach. From the beach you can choose to walk down the beach on your own, or return to town via the Jetty road. The total hike is 3 miles, rated moderate, with some sand walking involved and should last 2.5 to 3 hours. You can shorten the walk by leaving it before the trip to the beach.

After the hike you may want to visit the Bandon Historical Society Museum. Because this is on a Sunday, admission will be FREE, thanks to the “Free Summer Sundays” program sponsored by First Interstate Bank and Best Western Inn at Face Rock.

We will meet at 9:30 in Public Parking lot of the Bandon Historical Society Museum. If the lot is full you can find additional parking behind the Face Rock Creamery  Map Link to Museum and additional parking area.
