Vacation Rentals in Gold Beach

With an impossibly beautiful location between the Pacific Ocean, the raging Rogue River, and the Siskiyou Mountains as a backdrop, Gold Beach is a stunning coastal town with remote landscapes. The best part is its location – a mere 45-minute drive north of the Californian border. From hikes in old-growth forests to windsurfing shenanigans with locals, this promises to be the trip of a lifetime. A good idea is to rent a car and set about exploring the region and its abundance of natural attractions. Vacation rentals on Holidu make for an excellent base to discover this slice of Oregon’s windswept coast.

Many vacation rentals at Gold Beach come with sweeping Pacific Ocean views, and you’ll wake up each morning to the sound of the waves. They are also fitted with useful amenities such as Wi-Fi, heater, fireplace, and hot tub – all useful to keep warm during Oregon’s chilly, wet spells. Rentals can be booked both to the north and the south of the main town center, and the benefit of choosing these is the rugged beauty of the region that you’ll soak in. Families with young children and groups of friends could choose accommodation in the main town, close to the bars, restaurants, and convenience stores. No matter the location, you’re in for a trip for a lifetime.

Gold Beach is a top Oregon destination for families keen to get their kids acquainted with nature. Seventeen miles north of the city lies the family-owned Prehistoric Gardens where kids can encounter 23 life-sized dinosaurs in a 300-year-old forest environment. Another well-loved attraction is the Otter Point State Recreation Site where an easy hike gets you to a sandstone bluff where otters can be spotted sun-tanning like no one’s watching. Families will love a picnic at the Geisel Monument State Heritage Site which has large grassy patches and picnic benches. A short walk from the site is the spotlessly clean Nesika beach where kids can go crazy watching the whales during the season, or catch the surfers in action.

Kick start your day with a hearty breakfast at Gold Beach Books’ Biscuit Coffee H0use. They serve delicious coffees, smoothies, and pastries, and you can even browse through their inventory of 50,000+ books. Gold Beach is a seafood lover’s delight, and a top recommendation is Barnicle Bistro for its inventive seafood preparations - coconut lime mussels, wasabi fish tacos, beer-battered rockfish, and more. For succulent pork chops and prime ribs, Spinner's Seafood Steak & Chop H0use delivers. Burritos, tacos, quesadillas, and spicy chorizo are best savored at Tortuga Mexican Bar And Grill. Follow these up with some outstanding lagers and ales at the award-winning Arch Rock Brewing Company.

Don’t be fooled by all that wild natural beauty – art and culture are very much part of your Gold Beach sojourn. Right off Harbor Way, you’ll be greeted by the wreckage of the 1881-built Mary D. Hume steamboat that silently bobs in Gold Beach's waters. The Curry Historical Museum meanwhile traces the Oregon south coast's rich marine history through well-preserved artifacts from both settlers and Native Americans. All that history aside, Gold Beach has a fun performing arts scene too. The Event Center on the Beach hosts fun-filled community events such as stand-up comedy, barbecue cookouts, carnivals, rodeo, and the eagerly-awaited Curry County Fair.

The beaches along the Pacific Coast stretch on for miles, and you can hike along the windswept headlands catching plenty of wildlife on the way. During low tide, watch out for the pretty marine creatures in the tide pools– sea urchins, starfish, squid, and even baby octopus. Consider crabbing or clamming with experienced outfitters who’ll take you to the right spots – Bailey Beach is excellent for razor clams. For an invigorating biking excursion, bike along the thrashing Rogue river where you’ll be treated to non-stop scenic vistas. Gold Beach also welcomes northwest migratory bird species so bring along the binoculars.

Inquire at Jerry’s Rogue Jets about their wildly entertaining boat trips along the Rogue River. You can choose from 100 mile-long whitewater excursions to shorter trips along historical mail routes. The captains are personable and knowledgeable about wildlife (otters, deer, elks, and more) so that’s a bonus.

Less than three hours north of Gold Beach is the Sea Lion Caves in Florence. The privately-owned reserve and bird sanctuary have provided refuge to Stellar sea lions and their pups since 1932. The natural caves and rocky outcrops are a great viewing point to watch mama seals and their pups frolicking away.

Less than an hour north of Gold Beach in Bandon is the country’s largest wild animal petting park. Go on and pet the friendly raccoons, possums, and lynxes. Big cats such as the snow lions, cougars, and Bengal tigers are caged while deer, peacocks, and sheep roam freely in this walk-through safari. Tip: Carry shoe covers as you’ll be stepping on plenty of animal droppings.

While the forest itself sprawls across 1.8 million acres, the coastal parts border Gold Beach, and visitors can settle for a range of outdoor diversions from mountain biking to horseback riding, hunting, and fishing.

Considered a marvel in civil engineering by many, this exceptionally beautiful bridge with multi arches lights up once dusk falls. During the day, visitors can soak in refreshing views of the forest, river, hills, and the ocean from atop the bridge.
