Brookings-Harbor, the southernmost community in Curry County, Oregon, is located 5 mi. north of the California border on Hwy 101. This is an area of abundant natural attractions with miles of coastline, wild scenic rivers, state and city parks, and an attractive port. The cities of Brookings and Harbor are nestled on either side of the Chetco River where it meets the sea. Brookings is an incorporated city, while Harbor is not. They are in an area often referred to as the “banana belt” of the Pacific Northwest, thanks to its sunny and temperate year-round climate. This makes Brookings a welcome reprieve for travelers in a region otherwise known for rain and fog. Highway 101 runs through Brookings' commercial core, which can fill virtually any need a traveler may have. Over 90 percent of America's Easter lilies are grown between Brookings-Harbor and Smith River to the south, and an early summer drive between Brookings-Harbor and Crescent City takes you through breathtaking views of fields of blooming lilies.
