Boating, dairy farming, myrtlewood manufacturing, shipbuilding and repair, a golf resort and agriculture specialties products, including Cranberries, also play an important role.

Coos Bay is considered the best natural harbor between San Francisco Bay and the Puget Sound.
The Oregon Dunes are a unique area of windswept sand that is the result of millions of years of wind, sun, and rain erosion on the Oregon Coast. These are the largest expanse of coastal sand dunes in North America. Some dunes here tower upwards of 150 meters above sea level, providing numerous recreational opportunities including off-road vehicle use, hiking, photography, fishing, canoeing, horseback riding, and camping. The Carter Dunes Trail and Oregon Dunes Day Use provide disabled access for forest visitors.
