Coos Bay is one of three communities that make up the Bay Area – Coos Bay, North Bend & Charleston. Coos Bay is the largest town along the Oregon Coast (15,000 residents) and its economic base strives from waterfront industries not as engaging as the more tourism based communities along the coast. Just south of the Bay Area are several attractive state parks and the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge. DNW, Aug 2008
