SeaWinds estate in Bandon, Oregon is a one-of-a-kind cliff side location for an epic intimate wedding celebration. I toured the property yesterday with one of my 2024 couples for their wedding coming up in August… and I am obsessed 🤩
If you’re looking for a private setting for you and your 20 closest guests, including lodging in the stunning estate, a massive deck overlooking the ocean, a brand new fire pit, a huge lawn, private beach access, not to mention those incredible views — look no further!

Don’t get me wrong, Bandon is a bucket list course/trip. It’s a must play, but if you don’t want to spend all of your money there, check out Bandon Crossings just 20 minutes down the road! Maybe you play both and add it to your Bandon Dunes trip 😏

The full blog will be on my website tomorrow with a couple additional days added with everything that we do when we spend all seven days there.

We recently road-tripped from Bend to Bandon and decided to stay a night there before making our way down and exploring the southern coast for the first time. We adventured to the Coquille River Lighthouse and walked and shopped around Old Town Bandon. Highly recommend Bandon Coffee for breakfast that will hit the spot and The Wheelhouse and Crowsnest Restaurant for a delicious dinner.😋
When we booked a last minute room at Bandon Inn, we thought we’d just be passing through but we felt that we found a little gem that we’d like to come back to and bring the kids with one day!🥰 Have you visited this coastal town?🌊

Bandon for $82 a round?? We rolled the dice and luckily had incredible weather in January. Seriously it was 55°, sunny and no wind, our caddies said it was one of the best weekends of the year. Don’t hate us if you don’t get the same weather 😂

✨📍Bandon, Oregon, located on the southern Oregon coast, is a quaint little sea town known for its dramatic sea stacks and golfing at the world-famous Bandon Dunes Golf Resort. When there, we always stay at the boutique Bandon Inn in Bandon, Oregon, on the Oregon Coast, with a 5-minute walk to “Bandon’s Old Town” - it’s the perfect central spot with beautiful views of the town village and its quaint bay. @bandon.inn
There are three coffee cafés for morning stops in Old Town Bandon that you can walk to from the Inn:
1. Bandon Coffee Café @bandoncoffee
2. Bandon Baking Co
3. Warehouse Coffee Cafe @warehousecoffeecafe -this is where I got my coffee and did some shopping at the fish market too. They have a great variety of imported Italian pastas - shapes I’ve never seen before. Such a cool variety and very festive this time of year for the holidays!

A few snaps from a dreary afternoon in Bandon, Oregon.
We passed through Bandon, which is towards the southern end of the Oregon coast, on our journey down to Redwood NP in NorCal. As per usual, the weather was cold, cloudy, and dreary, which gets pretty old after a while. Is a few hours of sunshine too much to ask for!?
On top of the weather, we had read so much about Tony’s Crab Shack, which is one of the most popular restaurants on the Oregon coast and is supposed to have some primo Dungeness crab. If you know Sarah, you know crab is at the top of her favorite food list (maybe a few spots below Pad Thai and dumplings). But honestly, Tony’s just was kind of a let down. It wasn’t terrible but we definitely ate better crab elsewhere in Oregon (fellow Oregon coast road trippers be warned).
With dreary weather and a disappointing meal behind us, we didn’t have high hopes for our time in Bandon, but, man, the views of the sea stacks being pounded by the powerful Pacific Ocean delivered!
