With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience all that Bandon, 19 miles away, has to offer. Bandon Dunes Golf Resort, Face Rock State Scenic Viewpoint and Bandon Crossings Golf Course alone make the drive out here worthwhile. Located 30 miles away, Gold Beach is another popular option. If you stop by, make sure you check out Gold Beach Books, Otter Point State Recreation Site and Patterson Bridge.
