Bullards Beach North Loop Trail is a 5.7 mile lightly trafficked loop trail located near Bandon, Oregon that offers scenic views and is rated as moderate. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, and nature trips and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
Don't park in the horse camping area. I would recommend parking in the lot just before or just after the entrance to the horse camp. The parking area after the horse camp entrance is larger and has a bathroom. From that parking area you can use the beach to get on the trail or there are some misc. user trails you can use to connect.
From highway 101 look for signs for Bullards Beach State Park. If you're coming from the South it will be just past the bridge going over the Coquille River. If you are coming from the north it is just past the Bandon Dunes golf resort. Once you are in the park go straight past the camping check in and past the boat launch. The trailhead is in the horse camping area. Restrooms are in the lot after the horse camping area.
November 28, 2020I am not sure how this trail received as high of a rating as it does. It is deep sand and not fun to walk on, especially when the beach is right nearby with much more beautiful views. May be good for horseback, certainly not for walking.
October 13, 2020The directions were ok until we got to the horse staging area. We talked with a ranger, who told us the trail was unmarked and could be found if we went on the horse trail, which we did. Deep, soft sand and terrible to trudge through. If you like that kind of hiking, this trail is for you. Not worth the effort to find.
July 20, 2020November 30, 2018I was camping at Bullards Beach State Park and took the trail from B loop all the way to the beach, then took cut creek trail to North Loop. When looking at this trail on the app it was listed as moderate but looked easy. it was definitely marked moderate correctly due to the fact the majority is thick soft sand. All in all it was a wonderful trail. Well marked with posts and occasional signs. I would do this one again. Wear comfortable shoes.
