Charleston

Charleston lies where Coos Bay approaches the Pacific Ocean on Oregon’s South Coast, a setting that has made it an important fishing and boating harbor. Sheltered bay waters support a marina and seafood businesses, while the open coast begins beyond the harbor entrance. The Oregon Institute of Marine Biology, a University of Oregon research and teaching facility, gives the community a notable scientific presence. Nearby Cape Arago and Shore Acres State Park bring rocky headlands, coastal trails and tide-pool shores within easy reach.
