What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Downtown Coos Bay is praised for its charming waterfront, historic boardwalk, and lively farmers market. Visitors enjoy the local shops and the scenic bay views. However, some find the downtown area a bit grungy, and parking and business hours can sometimes be inconvenient.
"Downtown is nice and open great place to get great deals when you hit the shops. And don't mind seeing the great view."

"Farmers Market was delayed this year, but CBDA did a great job getting ready for the event. We enjoyed the variety of produce, breads, coffee and eggs from the area. We are making this our weekly routine. We were happy that all the vendors and buyers took Covid-19 seriously, and we felt at ease in the market. Security was helpful and friendly."

"The summer farmers market should be capped at the Pony Village Mall it's always windy there's only three or four good days the entire year I've noticed it slowed down a lot in the food area and that is a lot because of the parking it is impossible to park it and get something to eat and get out and any timely manner the parking is something that needs to be addressed in the Downtown Association I believe the North Bend location is much better and wish you would stay there all year in the back area by where the carnival is would be a perfect area for the food vendors you can actually have a drive-thru"
