Bandon-by-the-Sea has both bogs (for cranberry growing) and beaches, and is within easy driving distance of national wildlife refuges and assorted cultural sights, from history museums to art galleries. September is the month to catch the annual Cranberry Festival and there's also a Wine and Seafood Festival worth penciling in for Memorial Day Weekend, but even should you miss these big events, there are still whales to spot and sunsets to see.
