On my way to Sunset Bay I stopped at North Bend and then cross the bridge at the bay opening.
Picture
I need to catch my breath and I enjoy the view.

A yurt in Sunset Bay S.P. and from there I went to explore the Coos Bay area.

Another nice place to walk. The breeze off the water is so fresh.

I am back by the ocean.

Cranberries in Bandon. There is a big festival yearly.
The area's first European settlement was in 1853. Some twenty years later George Bennett decided to name the town after his Irish hometown, Bandon.  I guess he was homesick.  In my travels, I have noticed that this is common with many US towns.  My hometown of Rochester, MI was settled by people from New York state.  I should not be critical. I bet that I would do the same thing.

In the town of Langlois has a treasure. Be sure to read the guidebooks when you travel.
Langlois was named after an early settler and that is a common way of naming places too.  By the way, it is now pronounced lang-loyce, as in Joyce. I said lang-loy as in toy. They can always tell that  you are from out of town by mispronounced local names.  I don't think that they noticed my panniers and ragged look.
Picture
I wonder where these settlers were from originally.
Picture
What a fancy spot to enjoy the view.
Port Orford is the western most settlement in Oregon and in the contiguous 48 states.

Cape Blanco Lighthouse.
This lighthouse is the oldest in the State of Oregon and tours are available.

Another State Park for overnight.
This virtual bike tour has covered 681.7 miles so far.
