On the outskirts of Coos Bay, North Bend is the gateway to the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area and while taking an ATV or dune buggy out on the 500-foot heaps of sand is one of the top attractions here, there’s plenty more to see and do. Popular activities range from crossing Coo's Bay on the gorgeous McCullough Bridge to exploring Sunset Bay and Shore Acres State Park. The Mill Casino & Hotel, run by the local Coquille Indian Tribe, is also in town and there are numerous wooded campgrounds within a short drive, both on the beach and slightly inland.
