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.
