harbor on Coos Bay
is the heart of this

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.
