Gold Beach is located in the heart of what some refer to as the “banana belt” of the Pacific Northwest, which means the year-round climate is more temperate than anywhere else on the coast. It’s where the pristine Rogue River meets the majestic Pacific Ocean. Beautiful trees, mountains, rivers, beaches and the ocean define the landscape. Most visitors are attracted to the Gold Beach area to enjoy the 180,000-acre Kalmiopsis Wilderness Area. A jet boat ride up the wild Rogue River is a great way to see the back country and observe wildlife along the 60- to 100 mile trip. DNW, Aug 2008
Located just six miles from the California border Brookings shares the Banana Belt of the Northwest distinction with neighbor Gold Beach. Palm trees dot the landscape reflecting the sunny and moderate climate compared to the damper north coast. The largest producer of Easter Lily bulbs and the Azalea Park home to glorious azeleas, fruit trees, violets and wild strawberries. The charming Port of Brookings you can observe the local commercial fishing fleet, sport fisherman and pleasure boaters while strolling the shops and boutiques within the harbor. DNW, Aug 2008
