An Ocean Morning Among the Sea Stacks

Blue sky summer mornings in Bandon usually come with a catch: wind. This morning was no exception, but we caught a bit of luck. We found sand to work with right in front of Wizards' Hat, which meant we could tuck the labyrinth in behind the rocks and out of the worst of the north wind.

That placement turned out to be a gift in more ways than one. Working close to the taller rocks meant our path wound nearer to the tide pools, where ocher sea stars, anemones, mussels, and all kinds of other sea life were on full display. It was a fitting setting for today's theme: Ocean.

We created the path with the intention of love, and it was palpable out there this morning. It showed on people's faces as they walked, and it came through in conversations too, as visitors stopped to tell Team Circles how much they enjoyed today's labyrinth and how meaningful the walk was for them.

Two Days Left in the 2026 Season

Our 2026 summer season is winding down, with two walks remaining:

• Friday, August 14, 9 AM

• Saturday, August 15, 9 AM

  
  

If you have been meaning to visit Circles in the Sand but haven't made it out to walk one of our labyrinths this year, this is your chance. Find us in Bandon, Oregon.

And keep an eye on our website, www.sandypathbandon.com, as we are already working on the 2027 summer schedule and will be announcing those dates before long.

See you on the sand,

Team Circles
