This unique section of the Oregon oceanfront is known as Oregon’s Adventure Coast for several reasons, and when you arrive in the area, you will easily see why. With indoor and outdoor, water-centric sports and nature providing the backdrop for your visit, there are certainly lots of things to do. The Coos Bay Area is comprised of more than one community. Coos Bay (the water, an estuary of several rivers) is dominated by Coos Bay (the city), and its neighbors, North Bend and Charleston.

For a closer look at the waterfront activity, as well as the opportunity to learn about Coos Bay’s ties to the maritime and timber industries—both past and present—take a stroll along the Coos Bay Boardwalk and visit the Interpretive Center located in downtown Coos Bay, at 50 Central Avenue, (541) 269-0215 or (800) 824-8486.
