harbor on Coos Bay
is the heart of this
community. It
is home port to a busy commercial fishing fleet, which supplies a variety of
local seafood processors. It is also the site of a bustling marina serving charter
boat operators, sports fishermen, crabbers and recreational boaters.
The harbor area includes a variety of restaurants, lodging and shops. In addition to the tackle, seafood and gift shops, there are marine supply and repair operations and other firms offering a variety of services. Most everything is within comfortable walking distance.
