Pet-Friendly Activities + Services: Wander Bandon Beach

Every luxury vacation rental should mean that no one gets left behind, including your fur babies. So if you’re thinking twice about bringing your fur baby with you to Wander Bandon Beach, don’t sweat it—pets are welcome in all Wander homes. 

For starters, check out these fun activities, pet-friendly restaurants, and shops in and around Bandon that will surely get your dog’s tail wagging. 

Pet-Friendly Activities

There are tons of outdoor activities you and your furry pal can embark (pun intended) together. Here are some ideas for you to try!

Bandon Beach

In case you didn’t know, your stay at Wander Bandon Beach comes with its own private path to the beach. So, take off their leash and let them wander and splash around to their heart’s content! Just remember to clean up after them, and be mindful of wildlife and other people in the area. 

You’ll also find fat-tire e-bikes in the garage, so don’t hesitate to grab a bike and take your dog for a stroll along the beach. Once they’re tired out, you can sit back and relax on the outdoor deck overlooking the gorgeous views of the Pacific Coast.
