Old Town Bandon is the historic waterfront district on the Coquille River, a short walk from where the river meets the Pacific. The area is compact and walkable, with shops, art galleries, restaurants, and a boardwalk along the river.

The district is known for local specialties tied to the region, including cranberry candy and sweets, fresh seafood from the Bandon fishery and cheese made nearby. Fish-and-chips spots on the waterfront are popular, and the Bandon Historical Society Museum is nearby.

Old Town sits just off Highway 101, a few minutes from the beach, Face Rock and Coquille River Lighthouse in Bullards Beach State Park.
