Coquille Point Beach, also known as Kronenberg Beach, is a beautiful sandy shore featuring numerous spectacular sea stacks dotted along the coastline at the city of Bandon. Those sea stacks are called the Bandon Needles. This is one of Bandon’s gorgeous beaches extending from Coquille Point on the north to Gravel Point on the south. It is a great place to enjoy relaxing beachcombing. During minus tides, you can walk to some of those sea stacks and explore beautiful tide pools filled with colorful marine creatures.

Coquille Point Beach & Kronenberg Park - Things To Do

Hiking

All Bandon beaches are interconnected, so Coquille Point Beach can be part of a more extensive beach hike along the coast. You can start your trip at Coquille Point and hike north to the South Jetty Beach with a view of the Coquille River Lighthouse. If you head south, you will reach Face Rock Beach, Haystack Rock, and China Creek Beach.

Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge

The coastal rocks and islands at Coquille Point are part of the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge and are designated as a National Wilderness Area. This area is home to 13 species of seabirds, including tufted puffins, black turnstones, black oystercatchers, common murres, and cormorants. In addition, you can often see harbor seals hanging around the base of the rocks. Any disturbance of marine mammals and birds is prohibited in those areas. Dogs must be leashed. No drones are allowed.

Kronenberg Park

Kronenberg Park sits atop Coquille Point. It has an accessible trail system with interpretive panels describing the local wildlife. The park also provides a spectacular view of the ocean, beaches, and the Refuge Islands. If you want to access the beach north of Coquille Point, walk 0.2 miles further to the wooden stairway leading down to the ocean. To reach the southern beach, use the south stairway at the parking area.

There is no camping at Coquille Point Beach and Kronenberg Beach. Bullards Beach State Park nearby has over 200 campsites. There are over a hundred full-hookup sites, 82 electrical sites with water, and 13 reservable yurts (6 are pet-friendly).
