Bullards Beach State Park

Relax among sandy pine beaches 2 miles north of Bandon, Oregon. There are 4.5 miles of beach to explore in this large, family oriented park. There's more to this place than standard beach activities, though.

Start your beach exploration at Coquille River Lighthouse. It sits on the point where the river meets the Pacific Ocean. Constructed in 1895, the present-day lighthouse has a solar light on it. Residents of Bandon decorate the structure with Christmas lights as part of the town's winter holiday celebration.

Love everything and anything made from cranberries. Nearby Bandon claims to be the cranberry capital of Oregon. Take some authentic cranberry goods back to your campsite for dinner.

Over 200 campsites sit among sand dunes and trees a few hundred feet from the beach. 103 of these have full hook-ups, and 82 are electrical sites with water. Bring your horse to one of eight equestrian camps. Thirteen yurts offer glamping options for this popular park.
