Located near Coos Bay and at the juncture of the Coquille River and the Oregon coast, Bullards Beach State Park is one of the state's 30 seaside state parks and marine reserves. For beach lovers, lighthouse fans, photographers and those who just love sightseeing, these parks are a haven for fun, exploring, recreation and relaxation.
Bullards Beach State Park not only offers a wide swath of sandy beach and a jungle gym of driftwood, it also offers a campground, a late 19th century coastal lighthouse, and excellent fishing and crabbing in the Coquille River.
It's common for those who spend the night to rave about the RV slots which are quite roomy and nestled among coastal pines. Equestrians will enjoy the park's horse camp and miles of wooded trails, with some area paths along the beach and dunes. Reservations for yurts, horse camos and RV hooksups are accepted up to 6 months in advance.
The historic Coquille River Lighthouse is located at the end of Bullards Beach Road. Tours of the signal room are offered from Thursday through Monday at 11am to 5pm from mid-May through September.
