Enjoy the wash of the Pacific in North Bend
This close to the Pacific, it's hard not to be charmed by the natural side of Oregon. Drive north along the Coast Highway and you'll soon reach one of the most coveted seaside parks in the state, where long stretches of sandy beachfront and undulating dunes make for the perfect experience of the ocean. Between lazy sunbathing sessions, sports fishing excursions, horseback journeys, camping trips, and travel photography lessons, you're sure to find an activity that tickles your fancy.
Enjoy North Bend when the sun is shining
North Bend's attractions _ the beaches, the dunes, the pretty reaches of Coos Bay _ are all at their best when the sun's shining. That's probably the reason why most travelers to these parts search for North Bend vacation rentals between May and August. Visiting then means you're much less likely to be doused in the notorious Pacific Northwest rains, and should get to enjoy temperatures that are regularly in the mid-60s.
North Bend offers plenty of natural beauty
North Bend hides just away from the Pacific coast in the inlet of Coos Bay. Water surrounds the town on three sides, offering the perfect environment for launching whale watching excursions and boating trips out over the ocean swells. The most famous natural reserve in the region is surely the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, which is accessible on the Coast Highway from all North Bend vacation rentals. There, you'll discover sea bird habitats and undulating sand dunes, beautiful beachfronts and sunset shows that'll keep you clicking on the camera.
