Bandon Marsh National Wildlife Refuge, National Wildlife Refuge at Coquille River estuary, Oregon, US.
The refuge spans 889 acres across two units, Bandon Marsh and Ni-les'tun, featuring mudflats, salt marshes, and forested wetlands near the Pacific Ocean.
Established in 1983, the refuge protects the largest remaining tidal salt marsh within the Coquille estuary and includes ancient Native American archaeological sites.
The Ni-les'tun unit maintains archaeological locations of the Coquille Indian Tribe while supporting environmental education through observation platforms and nature trails.
Visitors can access the Bandon Marsh Unit by driving north on Riverside Drive from Old Town, with designated parking areas for wildlife observation and photography.
The nutrient-rich mudflats contain clams, crabs, worms, and shrimp, supporting tens of thousands of migrating shorebirds during spring and fall seasons.
