BANDON, OR
Bandon, Oregon, is a premier coastal destination where the rugged Pacific meets the most authentic links golf in America. When you fly with Valkyrie Air, you trade hours of winding coastal roads for a breathtaking aerial tour of the Oregon shoreline, arriving refreshed and ready to explore.
Where to Land: While commercial travelers are forced to fly into North Bend and drive, Valkyrie Air can take you straight to the heart of town.
Bandon State Airport (S05): Located just two miles southeast of the city center, this is the ultimate "shortcut." It’s a dedicated general aviation field that puts you minutes away from the golf course or your oceanfront rental.
Where to Stay: World Class and Coastal Chic, Bandon offers a place to stay for everyone from resorts, to boutique inns to private AirBnBs.
The Golf Enthusiast: Bandon Dunes Golf Resort offers everything from single rooms at The Inn to the Chrome Lake lofts, designed specifically for groups and solo players.
Families: Sunset Oceanfront Lodging provides spacious family suites with private beach access, perfect for morning walks to see the sea stacks.
The Solo Traveler: For a boutique, quiet experience, The Inn at Old Town offers walking access to Bandon’s best restaurants and the harbor.
What to Do: Bandon is famous for golf, but its soul lies in the Pacific shoreline.
The Links (Bandon Dunes): Experience six distinct courses, including Pacific Dunes and Bandon Preserve. This is "golf as it was meant to be"—rugged, wind-swept, and walking-only.
Circles in the Sand: A must-see for families and artists. These massive, intricate sand labyrinths are drawn on the beach at Face Rock State Scenic Viewpoint during low tide.
Old Town Bandon: Walk the boardwalk, visit the Bandon Plate Glass shop, and grab world-famous fish and chips at Bandon Bait Shop or a crumpet at The Loft.
Outdoor Adventure:
Families: Go crabbing off the high-dock or take a guided horseback ride on the beach with Bandon Beach Riding Stables.
Individuals: Kayak the Coquille River or hike the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge for world-class birdwatching and storm watching.
West Coast Game Park Safari: A "petting zoo" style safari just south of town that is a massive hit with kids.
