Weather-cam Link: Don't believe your I-Phone weather report. Check-out the webcam for yourself. No joke! The I-Phone will show you a 4-day forecast for rain that will not be accurate. This webcam is less than 3 miles way at the Coquille River South Jetty at Bandon. Storms blow through quickly in Bandon. Sometimes there is fog at the river/jetty, but we are clear. The alternative to the weather cam is to give us a quick call. http://www.bandonhomes.com/Nav.aspx/Page=Http://www.rwre.com/webcam
