Gold Beach

Gold Beach, a picturesque coastal community in Curry County, has a captivation history and scenic charm.  Nestled along the stunning Oregon Coast, Gold Beach began to thrive in the mid-19th century during the gold rush era, earning its name from the golden flecks found in the sandy beaches.

Originally inhabited by the Tolowa and Tututni Native American tribes, Gold Beach witnessed an influx of settlers seeking fortune and adventure.  The area’s economy diversified with the establishment of logging, fishing, and tourism industries.

The Famous Rogue River flows through the region, attracting outdoor enthusiasts for its scenic beauty and world-class fishing.  The Jerry’s Rogue Jets excursions offer a thrilling jet boat experience, showcasing the natural wonders of the Rogue River.

Gold Beach gained historical significance during World War II as a site for the construction of the Port of Gold Beach, a vital supply point for Allied forces in the Pacific theater.

Today, Gold Beach is celebrated for its pristine beaches, including the iconic Otter Point and Myers’s Creek Beach.  Visitors can explore the Curry Historical Museum, which highlights the area’s rich past, or enjoy the spectacular views from Cape Sebastian State Scenic Corridor.

The town’s warm community spirit, combined with its natural splendor, makes Gold Beach a haven for those seeking coastal beauty and a glimpse into Oregon’s vibrant history.
