North Bend, OR

North Bend is a Coos County city on Oregon's south coast, set along the S-shaped inlet of Coos Bay. Indigenous people lived in the region for thousands of years before Europeans arrived, and the modern city still feels deeply tied to the bay. A public boat ramp, pier, and boardwalk area keep the water central to daily life. North Bend feels maritime and practical, with working waterfront, coastal weather, schools, bridges, and nearby Coos Bay forming one connected local landscape.
