A veritable outdoor art gallery rife with wood carvings, a glass mosaic swirl, and artisan benches feast the eyes, while the fresh seafood scents that tantalize your nose may lure you into one of the restaurants on the opposite side of the parking lot. A glass-sided picnic shelter with salmon ensconced entrance allows picnicking or river viewing, even in inclement weather. Plentiful poster boards offer educational tidbits on the history of Coquille Tribe, the Port of Bandon, and ecological river data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Boardwalk<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Stroll<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Benches abound on this artsy boardwalk, no more than 50 steps to reach one from another. Wander, stroll, rest and continue at your leisure, ensuring you get ample enjoyment of the varied sights. See if you can visit each piece from this sculpture checklist: dolphin, crab, octopus, seal, sea horse, totem pole, orca. You can find them scattered along this riverside promenade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/thisamericandream.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Bandon-Boardwalk-seal-sculpture-1138663-1.jpg\" alt=\"bandon-boardwalk-seal-sculpture-1138663\" title=\"\"><figcaption> Boardwalk <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table aligncenter\"><table class=\"\"><tbody><tr><td>Terrain: Boardwalk is broad, flat decking.
