Community Overview

Gold Beach is surrounded by spectacular scenery and home to the world famous Rogue River.  The Rogue is one of the most beautiful Rivers in America and is a designated "Wild & Scenic River". In addition to the Rogue, the numerous tributaries of Oregon's Wild River's Coast offer some of the best salmon/steelhead fishing and recreational opportunities anywhere.

Curry County is blessed with an abundance of pristine natural resources in all directions. Over 100 miles of dramatic coastline and accessible beaches, comprised mostly of state park lands, stretches both north and south. East of Gold Beach, the Siskiyou National Forest covers a million acres of forest and wilderness lands with a multitude of hiking and back packing trails. West, the area is bordered by the vast and powerful Pacific Ocean.

Pistol River is located several miles south of Gold Beach. The scenery along Highway 101 here is one of the most photographed stretches of beach in America, because of numerous, rugged seastacks, tidepools and accessible beachcombing. There are only a few hundred residential properties in the surrounding area with a small, local post office.
