Visit the charming City of Coquille and fall in love with the natural beauty that surrounds it. Located in Coos County on the Southern Oregon coast, bounded by the Coquille River to the south and the beginnings of the Coast Range to the east and north, the City of Coquille sits in the beautiful Coquille Valley. The Pacific Ocean just twenty miles downstream has a moderating effect on the climate and the City is much warmer and less windy in the summer than neighboring cities of Coos Bay and Bandon. With direct access to the river, it’s no surprise the city’s residents engage in fishing, hiking, biking and camping and hunting. Enjoy the scenery while visiting one of the locally owned family restaurants, mom and pop shops, or the Coquille Valley Museum. Some of Oregon’s best beaches are just 20 minutes away. Cities near Coquille are Myrtle Point, Coos Bay, Bandon and North Bend.
