The Inn at Old Town is centrally located in the heart of Bandon-by-the-Sea where there are plenty of fun things to see and do. We are directly across the street from the Old Town district, where you can taste the very best local and fine dining cuisine then stroll down the avenue and shop museum quality galleries and seaside boutiques.
We are walking distance to Bandon’s top attractions including the boardwalk, where you can spend your day crabbing and making friends with the local harbor seals, or walk to the South Jetty Beach and search for agates, both offer stunning views of the Coquille Lighthouse. We offer a front row seat to the annual Cranberry Festival Parade in September. During the weekends starting at the end of April through mid-December, Bandon is host to the Old Town Marketplace where you may shop for local produce and peruse local artisan booths.
Make a day of horseback riding on the beach with Bandon Stables, or take a leisurely drive down the coast to Gold Beach and see magnificent ocean views and beaches. Some of the very best tide pools exist along this coast. Don’t forget your binoculars for whale watching too. The gray whales’ peak migration times are the end of March and the end of December but many whales journey up and down the coast throughout the year and it is always exciting to see a whale spout or a fluke come out of the water.
We are a family operated business since 2004 and try our very best to make all of our guests experiences pleasantly comfortable throughout their stay.
Explore the best of the coast during your stay at The Inn at Old Town, where a variety of activities await just moments from your door.
