Discover Nature's “Wild Side” in Gold Beach — a great escape with uncrowded beaches, pristine wide-open spaces, incredible hiking trails, vast forests and rugged mountains. Located in Oregon's “Banana Belt,” the city has an average of 192 sunny days per year (days with an average cloud cover of 30% or less), more than almost than any other town on the Oregon or Washington coasts. This peaceful but activity-rich community rests on the banks of the Rogue River where it flows into the Pacific Ocean, and is often called “Nature's Adventure Center.”
