GOLD BEACH, OREGON

Where the Rogue River meets the Pacific Ocean
The breath taking Gold Beach
Surrounded for miles by spectacular scenery, Gold Beach is the county seat for Curry County, Oregon's southwestern corner. The population within the city limits of Gold Beach is approximately 2,200 with the immediate surrounding area substantially increasing that figure. The total population of Curry County is around 25,000.

The world famous Rogue River is one of the most beautiful 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.

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.

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.

FISHING


SUMMER/FALL CHINOOK SALMON RUNS

The Rogue River is world famous, and fishing is no doubt the big reason. The salmon run that has over 200,000 fish mid July through October starts in the bay at Gold Beach and draws anglers from around the globe to Gold Beach, and this is the time and place for Chinook salmon, packed with energy from months at sea and ready to put up a big fight. Summer Steelhead & Coho Salmon are also around, starting in late August and mid September.

The first fish make their appearance in the lower river at Gold Beach around the end of March. Fish range from 15 to 40 pounds with the average about 20 pounds. Angling starts about a half-mile upriver from Gold Beach and stretches up to the town of Agness. Most of our guides use jet boats 20 to 25 feet long to make the trip as comfortable as it is thrilling.

Fall Chinook aren't the only action. The Rogue River is also famous for its Steelhead fishing. The Gold Beach ocean charter season goes year-round and is the best in Oregon, with consistent catches of ling cod and rock fish available just a few miles offshore.

GOLF

Located 10 miles north of Gold Beach, Cedar Bend Golf Course's nine holes play like eighteen, set up with multiple tee locations and two flags on each green. We may be prejudiced, but we agree when golfers say the greens are the best on the coast, with Cedar Creek wandering across or alongside almost every hole.

There's a covered driving range, nine-hole putting green and a full-service snack bar that serves a chili youll look forward to as much as the game.

If you arrive by RV, ask about the 11-site campground, with its resident deer, occasional elk, and an interesting bird population. Theres even a trickling stream to lull you to sleep.

Thirty miles south of Gold Beach is Salmon Run Golf & Wilderness Preserve, a championship 18-hole course with five sets of tees on every hole, plus the most incredible views. One of its top attractions? The quiet like golfing in a forest. Which, actually, it is.
