Bandon Beach Riding Stables

I was nervous about riding horses, I have zero experience. Texas was the horse I rode, and I don’t think he should be paired with someone who has no experience. We were given brief instructions, so I really felt uncomfortable trying to guide my horse. On the way back the horse rammed me into a street sign, so I have a scrape and bruise on my knee. Lol. The guide blammed me «don’t let him do that» uhhh. I don’t know how to do that, I’m new to this. I had some questions about the horse behavior, and told the guide I was nervous and scared. I was hoping she would stay close, but when we hit the beach she went to the front of the group. Would have been courteous of the guide to ask me how I was doing first. I felt abandoned on a horse I didn’t feel safe on. I did my best to stay calm, so I didn’t upset the horse. Also, before we left we were told that the horses fight with each other, and WE were supposed to stop them if they started in on each other. Unsettling for someone who is already nervous. But hey, I made it out alive!

Hadn’t been on a horse for many years and was a bit anxious. The staff and horses made me completely at ease. Once they put me on my horse, it looked at me like «I got this.» What a beautiful day and relaxing ride. They take group photos with your camera (phone) at the turn around, so be ready for that. The staff are happy to answer any questions you have. Make sure to listen and follow directions. Great ride for anyone of any age, or riding ability, that wants to take a horseback ride on a spectacular Oregon coast beach.

Great company family owned and operated. Very careful and professional especially with younger children. The family did a one-​hour ride along the ocean really enjoyed it, I highly recommend you giving them an opportunity

I went as a teenager over 20 years ago and went back on my honeymoon recently and they still have the best horses. Just me and my husband were there since other couple didn’t show up it was great!

I LOVED our sunset ride, our guide Joy was phenomenal and we WILL be back. Loved every minute of it and so glad we got her to ourselves.
Do yourself a favor and reserve a spot on one of their rides.
It’s worth it, I promise.
The ocean, the rocks, the horses… everything is so beautiful.

Thank you for such a memorable and fun experience!!! My daughters and I thank you, keep up the hard work, those horses and we are thankful for all you do.

Riding on the beach is a lot of fun. The people at Bandon Beach at located at a great place by some great rock formations (Wizard’s Hat, Face in the Rock). The staff is super nice and friendly. They really care that their client’s have a great time, and are comfortable on their horses. The variety of horses is great too, big, medium, and smaller horses are available. My boyfriend and I had a great time with our awesome horses Cookie and Cruzer.

I have ridden horses here 5 times over the past 15 or so years. It’s a great place! All of the horses are beautiful, have the cutest names and are very well behaved. The staff is very friendly, and have plenty of experience with horse riding. They’ll answer any questions, and make you feel completely relaxed if it’s a new experience for you. Whether you’re in store for a morning, afternoon or sunset ride, one thing is for sure: it will be beautiful! Nothing beats riding horses on the breathtaking Oregon Coast.
While I know the staff that accomplices you on your ride means well, my only complaint would be the constant conversation. Maybe it’s the introvert in me, but when I’m paying $ 60 to ride a horse down the beach for a couple hours, I’d like at least half of that time to be quiet, reflective time. Clearly this hasn’t kept me from returning, it’s just the one complaint I’ve had after the last couple rides.
Regardless, if you’re in Bandon and are looking for an activity, check this place out!

What a nice group. They took care of my family who has never ridden before. Beautiful sunset ride on the beach. Thank you.

We rolled into town and made last minute plans for the sunset ride on the beach. We prepared for high winds and cold temps but lucked out by the time we were saddled up. There are not enough nice words to say about this business. The staff is friendly and incredibly informative. Joy made sure everyone was extremely comfortable on their horse. She took time to explain how to control our horses, which made me feel safe and confident that I could handle my horse without issue. The 2 hour ride on the beach was nothing short of amazing, with the beautiful scenery provided by nature. All of the horses were healthy and well mannered. I would recommend this ride for anyone visiting the Oregon coast. You won’t regret it!

Our family just finished up an hour ride on the beach and we loved it. Diamond worked with my 8 year old who had never been on a horse ride before. She led his horse on the path to the beach & then taught him how to control his sweet horse all by himself. She stayed next to him the whole hour giving him instructions and making sure he was safe.
Except for a block going & returning to the beach the entire ride takes place on the beach. It’s amazing!
A couple tips: bring cash or a checkbook– no credit cards are accepted. Their mobile website says rides hourly, but that’s not right– the rides leave @ 10,12,2,4,6. I booked our reservation the same day & had no problem, but it was a drizzly day. For $ 40/​hour, this was a steal!

Live Laugh and Ride!
From start to finish I had Soooooooo much Fun!
It is obvious that the owner cares about her guests having a great time
while keeping her guests safe and happy.
My horse was gentle, well-​mannered,
and very easy to handle and the overall experience was absolute 1^st rate!
listen to the instructions that she gives you and you will have a wonderful time.
The trails and beach are second to none, must be on your bucket list.
The combination of the horse ride on the beach with awesome views and the sea breeze is quite an experience. Definitely worth the trip and expense.
Thank you again to the owner sisters, Joy and Caren for matching me
perfect riding partner and a ride me back home!

This is a great place. My daughter never rode a horse before and wanted to do that for her 7^th birthday. We were in the middle of a week long trip staying the night in Coos Bay and found this place’s leaflet in the visitor center. I called to make a reservation the night before and showed up before 10AM for the ride.
The ride was great. The staff was helpful and nice, price very reasonable, The horses were beautiful, well trained and easy to ride even for complete beginners and the scenery stunning. Could not have been better.
Be sure not to miss the small sign and enter the dirt road to the stables ¼ mile south of the hotel and golf course. Bring cash — they do not take plastic.

My family is having an extraordinary vacation in Bandon OR. Here over the week of Thanksgiving, we were certain we’d be faced with 40 degrees and rainy the entire time. Instead, we’re enjoying 55 – 60 degrees, and sunny. With the beautiful beach and this glorius weather as a setting, my 9 yr old daughter and I decided to explore the beach on horseback. We called the stables, and talked to Karen, who was informative and accomodating as we established a time to ride. During the summer they have regularly scheduled rides, but this time of year, we were able to set an appointment for whatever time worked best for us. Karen’s son Eddie met us at the stables and had two beautiful, experienced and calm horses ready. My daughter is a complete beginner. Her only previous experience is led rides at birthday parties. Eddie had a 30 yr old mare ready for her — an expereinced wise horse with a proven history with little girls. She was the perfect whorse for our ride. I was given a 15 yr old herd leader, an red alpha female who liked to be in the lead. We got along famously. With each of us on our gorgeous horses, we headed for the beach. Eddie rode with us and told us about the local sites, best places for star fish at low tides, and other areas of interest the kids might want to see. The ride was truly beautiful. It’s $ 40 per person for an hour, and $ 50 per person for 90 minutes. We went for the full hour and a half, and the time flew by. This was definitely one of the most memerable moments of the trip of a lifetime.
