It also has a promenade that leads directly to the coast, which allows us to see the immensity of the ocean in the first line. Bandon is a perfect place for golf lovers. It has a series of golf courses called “Las Dunas”, which are located north of Bandon. These courses were designed using the natural landscapes that surround the area including vegetation and dunes.
Bandon beach itself is a very popular spot for the summer season. There is a road that runs along the coast and makes it easy to get to this beach and other nearby coastal areas. Apart from the beach itself, there are several very interesting places on this road to stop and have a drink, as well as curiosities that are ideal for taking pictures and taking a souvenir.

One of the most impressive things on this coastal road is possibly the so-called "Rock Face". Local legend says that it is the face of a native Indian from the area, who was frozen in the same rock by an evil spirit. Other things that this beach and its surroundings offer us, is being able to see old buildings from the 19th century, a spectacular view of the entire coast, fishing, windsurfing and some places where you can eat whatever you want.
Perhaps one of the biggest claims of Bandon beach is being able to ride a horse on the beach itself. There are some stables located next to the beach where we can rent these animals both in the morning and at sunset. It is a great opportunity to take photos or record with our camcorder.
If you don't know how to ride a horse, the guides and stable employees are very helpful and willing to help. The prices are very reasonable, and although it is not cheap, it is worth having this experience.
In fact, many people visit Bandon beach exclusively for horseback riding, as prices are the most competitive on this entire part of the coast. All this, together with the magnificent beach and everything that surrounds the coast, is something that is not easily forgotten.
