The Bandon Classic loop is the local quick spin road route. With great ocean vistas leading to wooded cranberry bogs, this 12 mile ride will take you to the outskirts of town and back. The route can easily be accessed from anywhere in town; those looking for food/restrooms should park in Old Town Bandon. Route has a half mile section on Hwy 101 with a good shoulder. Most of the route is low traffic. During summer the route is best early in the day to avoid summer north winds.

Start at the South Jetty Park, where you have free parking, bathrooms, and great views of the Coquille River Lighthouse. Head South on the beach enjoying amazing views of Face Rock, Haystack Rock, Coquille Point, and much more. During minus tides, experience riding through natural rock tunnels. For an easy ride back, take beach access point #154 for Devils Kitchen vista point and head North on Beach Loop Rd.(see route map) or make the ride out and back on the sand. The ride can be extended longer by heading further down the beach past Devils Kitchen.
