Message In A Bottle

Bandon Style

EVER DREAM OF BEING STRANDED ON A DESERT ISLAND AND FINDING A TREASURED MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE?

Bandon beaches continue to be sprinkled with unique, Bandon-themed bottles containing a positive, beach-themed message waiting to be discovered. Each bottle was created by local artist, Kim Bell. Read her story, A Studio with a Sea of Creations.

These bottles are yours to keep and can be brought into participating local businesses to claim a set of mini-lights. Insert the mini-lights into the bottle to create an even more beautiful and unique memory of your trip to Bandon!

  • Be kind to the environment.
