Top 17 things to do and attractions in Gold Beach

Great museum! We loved learning about the local history and the woman at the desk Gerry had great information about the town!

It's a fine place to explore on a rainy day, which happens often on the Oregon coast. Some interesting history.

Very interesting museum with alot of small town, local history! Friendly staff! Struggling having just reopened in August from CV 19 shutdown.

Tried to visit on a Thursday at 2:30, but the door was locked & lights were off. Maybe next time?

Small hometown museum. I spent about 45 minutes here. Good, basic info about the area. $5 might be slightly high for what it is.

Good place for history buffs. Take time to stop here when in town. Staff is friendly and can answer many questions.

Looking for somewhere to eat on our way though and found this awesome little restaurant and we weren't disappointed! Russ was excellent to us and gave us menu suggestions which turned out great. I had the Wasabi Fish Tacos and my wife had the Fish Sandwich with pesto and both were really good, fish cooked properly with a nice crispy coating. It was quiet when we were there but I suspect this place gets hopping.

I ordered the fish and chips and while the fish was great, the garlic fries seemed like they had been sitting a little bit before they were served to me. The slaw was just shredded vegetables, no mayo or seasoning in them and honestly, it was not what I’d expect from a restaurant charging 25 dollars for a plate of fish and chips. My girlfriend ordered the beet and goat cheese sandwich and I must say it was super unique and delicious! It seems like they cater to healthier cooking options which is awesome, but a little bit of avocado mayonnaise and salt in the slaw really wouldn’t hurt. And 6 dollars for an add-on fry is really a little steep, even in the year 2025.

It's not easy to eat delicious food in a small town, but I got it. Although I waited for a long time, it was worth it because the boss was really busy and had to do a lot of things. I think it might not be easy to recruit employees in a small town, so it's understandable.

First time here and came at noon, and it was packed, but still, some outside seating available. It was a day before the 4th of July and it's a tourist town. I ordered the 8 ounce house burger 🍔 and it was packed with tomato,lettuce onions, and crunchy pickles on a grilled toasted bun. Very juicy a filling. I should have ordered the 6 ounce (also, they have a 4ounce also. And a locally brewed lager. Overall, it was good , and the restroom was clean.

Passing through town and stopped here for lunch. Got a soup and salad combo, and let me tell you, it was perfect. Chowder was perfectly seasoned, and their croutons are delicious. Any restaurant that can nail the basics, I am a fan of. Hope to come back again one day.

This was my first time there. I tried the clam chowder and the seafood tacos (I forget the real name of them). The clam chowder was pretty good...very rich and creamy, with many tiny clam pieces (but there was a lot of sand in some of those), and too many potatoes imo. The cream base was bland until I added salt and pepper, but then I enjoyed it. I would give it a 3.5 out of 5 score (given others I have tried on the coast). The seafood tacos were quite filling. I liked the shells and there was a lot of seafood and lettuce in each. My complaint again would be that they were bland and it felt like they were missing something...maybe avocado? Maybe bacon? Maybe cilantro lime crema? Idk. But I honestly wished I had ordered something different instead, especially since they are not cheap. And I loved my beer. The bill was around $50. So be prepared to spend a pretty penny if you get more than one item. I probably won't be back (I am not a local), but it sounds like they won't be open for the next 4 months anyhow...working on a remodel.

Had steamers and the fish tacos. Food was carefully prepared with quality ingredients and presentation but the flavors weren't quite balanced. Steamers broth was a bit too bright without enough umame and the tacos were a bit dry and in need of more sauce and the wasabi too intense for the rest of the flavors. Recommended the Arch Rock beer which was A+. Bill was over 50 bucks which would be worth it if well executed next time.

I did not see a cave entrance but I would like to go back and check it out again on a different adventure

Its hard to rate a location. Everywhere is beautiful along the coast. I only rated it a 4 because the walk to the beach is not for everyone. It is rocky. Multiple ways to get to the beach but not clearly marked. The beach was quiet for a Saturday. This beach has beautiful rocks. So many colors and sizes. Very unique. Only found one little agates but tide was just going out.

Beautiful beach and great views. Turtle rock is just a couple hundred yards away as well if you wanna climb to the top and get a spectacular view. Just a caution, it requires someone reasonably fit to climb. The sound is great here and the backdrop is quiet.

A lookout stop with plenty of room for a truck and trailer to pull in. We stopped here to have a quick bite, and it was the best lunchtime view! We walked the beach when we were done and it was just the relaxing break we needed to finish our 5 hour trip today. Also found this pumpkin face painted rock, I left it there, to put a smile on someone else's face. 😊

When the sun sets it kisses the rock! what a beautiful place. Easy access to the beach from the parking lot so if you want a quick stop to the beach - this is the one!

Kissing Rock is the perfect spot for quick photo. Right of the 101, this scenic pull off is perfect at sunset as well!

Right there in Gold Beach, easy stop and beautiful sites to see. Go jogging , tanning ,surfing, or just take in the beautiful views.

See it soon...the remains of this boat are disappearing fast. Take the time to read the boat's history on the nearby display. It is fascinating.

Beautiful area full of history and mystique. I was there on a foggy morning so it adding a lot of spooky coast ambience. There was an island of sea lions behind the ship that were entertaining to watch as well. Lots of dock traffic and I think there were some places to eat around there. I was distracted by the sights!

Cool little stop. Just off 101 beside a little parking lot. Be aware of the sea lions they where closer that we thought lol

It’s a quick and easy stop, with plenty of parking surrounding it.

Worth seeing it while it’s still there…. She’s rapidly falling apart….

Boats pretty much gone. But a cool spot to take a photo of the Patterson Bridge.

A touch of Gold Beach history.

Fast, friendly service with good attention after the food was delivered. Every dish we had was great, especially loved the pulled pork sandwich. Mozzarella sticks were fresh and hot.

From the sweet tea to the corn bread this southern gal approves! We had a 3 meat 2 sides combo. The chicken thigh, brisket, and pulled pork are cooked to perfection. The barbecue sauce will make you drool! There's something different in it, couldn't quite place my finger on it, but delicious. The Mac n cheese was to die for! I wish they had a recipe book and a restaurant closer to Hillsboro. Our server was sweet and great with the kiddos. Don't miss out on this gem.

We had an amazing experience at this barbecue place! We tried a fresh salad and four different kinds of meat, and everything was absolutely delicious. The aroma from the wood-fired smoker was incredible, and it made the whole meal feel so special. This is real, wholesome, and flavorful food, cooked with love. Highly recommend to anyone who appreciates authentic, healthy, and tasty barbecue!

Was running late and wanted a burger and blam,Gold Beach BBQ. That burger was juicy and full of flavor. It was just the right size and hit the spot. Their BBQ sauce is wonderful, and you want to drink it. The staff and owner (pit master) were kind and friendly and helpful. I will return.

Best BBQ I had for long time; pork was awesome and service was excellent ; tea was on sweet side do

I've been looking for some good BBQ and found this place online while I was about 30 miles away. I drove the 30 miles in my little RV and struggled to find easy parking. Not exactly their fault... the lot behind the building has plenty of spots just not big and long spots - a hot tip for RVers who want to eat here is that the shut down old Dairy Queen up the road has plenty of parking... which makes for a short walk to the establishment. Having never been into this place before, I was slightly confused about how to approach the counter. Everyone in the building was seated but I wanted to order my food to go. A youngster with blonde hair and blue eyes explained the ropes to me in a friendly manner. I could be seated and be served or I could order my food to go at the counter. I decided to give it a go based on the reviews and ordered about 50 bucks worth of food. I ordered a half rack of ribs and a full pound of brisket... as well as a small drink. Also left a nice tip for the friendly service. The place isn't cheap but not many restaurants these days can be described as such - let alone one specializing in meats. I get it. My only hope was that I would get what I paid for. Getting my meal into my RV I decided to dig in. The half rack of ribs were just that... felt like I got the small end of the rack sadly - but they were still good ribs. I'm usually a feind for good BBQ sauce and will slather it on everything - but I ate these ribs with just the dry rub that came on them. I was NOT disappointed by the taste or texture. They were well cooked - and the seasoning was on point. Some seasoning chunks were a little thick and got stuck in my teeth but that was easy to fix. The 1lb of brisket was cooked perfectly. This is how you want your brisket cooked. HOWEVER! There is such a thing in this BBQ world as ordering your brisket "LEAN" which I forgot to do... the 1lb of brisket came out about 25 - 30% fat capped. Brisket is a fatty cut of meat and this was my fault for not being specific to what I wanted. It was 30 bucks for the lb - and so I basically paid 10 bucks for fat on top of my brisket. Lesson learned and not the establishments fault. 2/3 of that brisket was absolutely fire and I really do look forward to returning and getting a lb of lean brisket from these folks. Finally, I want to give a shout out to the owner. I don't know his name but I knew it was him. He was a tall, older gentleman - and he was going from table to table asking customers how their food was... and if they needed refills on their drinks. Geez... can you imagine if this was standard practice in our restaurants. I was blown away by a man who obviously has a successful business, and most likely all the money he needs because of it, going out of his way to give solid customer service. After witnessing this, even if the food wasn't good, I would have supported this place. He is older... you can tell his body probably doesn't move like it did when he was younger - but he's still out here offering to get his customers drink refills. Salute to you sir... a massive salute to you. You run a business how it should be run and I left with not only an appreciation for the food here - but also with a massive amount of respect for how this man cares about his business. You sir are a legend of an owner. Also, a shout out to a manager named John. I actually called in this morning to get some clarification on things - like if lean brisket was an option... and the parking solutions in the area. He was very helpful. Look forward to meeting you on my next visit John. All in all... this was a very worthy effort - a very worthy 50 bucks spent. I didn't eat everything in one sitting as I'm not quite fat enough to do so yet. I ate about half of what I got and then made sandwiches of the rest. BBQ is not cheap - good food is not cheap... if you're going to spend your hard earned money on good food - this is a good place to do it. See you all again soon.

Well well, where do I start. While visiting the little beach town, my wife and I decided to stay the night here and venture around. At the end of our first day, we decided to try this place. Man, oh man, we were so surprised! First, the cozy home feeling of the atmosphere as we walk in, then the excellent service from the staff already sealed the deal before we even tried the food. We ordered a 4 meat 3 side deal for $40, and it was plenty for both of us. We got tri tops, dark chicken, pull pork and brisket with steak fries, Mac n cheese, and cheesy corn. EVERYTHING tasted amazing, no, I mean really everything! If you're a local here, you already know, but if you're like me and you're visiting or passing through, I highly recommend you try this food. Top notch, in my opinion.

The museum part looked cool we went in to have coffee and look around the museum but the staff was notattentive at all, we were in there for about 5 minutes looking at the options in the cafe before i even saw a staff member, I don't even think they saw us, we were never acknowledged and stood there waiting for a minute of two longer before deciding we didn't want to support a business that was so unattentive🫤by far very disappointing.

The people here were absolutely delightful! I tried the chocolate turnover and cranberry pastry, and both were unexpectedly scrumptious. I also appreciated that they cater to those with special dietary restrictions, making it a great spot for everyone to enjoy. Highly recommend!

The Barista Jennifer was fantastic however I have to give a one star to management who decided it was okay to have one person working the entire store on a very busy holiday weekend. Poor girl was slammed with customers and had zero help. It's unfortunate when businesses put their pocketbooks ahead of all else.

My favorite place in gold beach, best food & coffee! The manager Kate is awesome!

Outstanding place. A must stop in Gold beach. Great treats ,unique shop and nice people.

A book lover's dream. There is an expansive art gallery downstairs as well as several shelves of regional books, coloring books, journals, nature guides, and books by local authors. There's a good selection of greeting cards. Attached is a delicious coffee shop with fresh baked goods, paninis, and clam chowder. Upstairs is a collection of used books. Each time I visit Gold Beach I treat myself to a book or two.

This has been our favorite stop in Gold Beach. We browse the books and art and greeting cards and choose a few to take home. If we want a latte or pastry, they have it. The ambience is quiet, relaxed and welcoming. I enjoyed the Elvis statue this summer!

We had a fantastic experience taking the mail route jet boat tour of the rogue river. Tour was about 4.5 hours total, included an excellent BBQ lunch and cost $99 dollars, they also offer longer and shorter options. The boat captain did a wonderful job of keeping us entertained and piloting the boat. The ride was smooth and enjoyable, we also saw lots of wildlife including bald eagles, river otters, blue Herons, and more. As a day trip this was an excellent choice, I highly recommend giving Jerry's Jets a shot. We were also entertained by the captains dog Tripp. My hat is off to captain Brandon Mathews.

Awesome 104 mile round trip jet boat tour of the rogue river. Would recommend hot summer day to take the tour. They will get you wet which is quite refreshing on a hot day. The food stop is excellent. Plenty of wildlife on the trip. Would recommend a day when they aren't crowded with hydroplane races and rafting tours on the river.

Definitely would recommend! We did the express tour and had a blast. We got a little of everything Scenery, wildlife, rapids. Kevin and Rue were the perfect guides. Kevin was engaging and funny. He made sure everyone was enjoying the ride. He was knowledgeable and made sure to point out things we might not see. The lunch was fantastic. Tasted so good and was plenty to fill you up. PS make sure your lunch ticket is in a waterproof bag.

We booked WILDERNESS WHITEWATER, which was an 6-hour tour. The view was beautiful, meal was great. 6 hour was too long for us, we got wet and exhausted at the end, but over all it was a great experience. I recommend 2 hour tour for the first time visitors!

I can't believe I waited so long to experience such an amazing adventure. The driver was very knowledgeable and entertaining. The lunch break was perfect. The food was hot and well prepared. I am looking forward to another trip to Southern Oregon and spending a day with Jerry's Jet Boats.

We went on the adventure trip. Trip was amazing from start to finish. Employees in the gift shop and check in were great! I have no idea how the pilots know where to go but I'm glad they do. So much fun. Lunch was yummy and fast. A friend suggested wearing bathing suit bottoms under clothes, good tip. Drys quickly. Planning a trip with the rest of our family. We'll worth the cost. You won't regret it.

We had a great time with Pilot Darin for my mom’s 65th birthday. The scenery is beautiful including several waterfalls and bridges, as well as varying levels of white water rapids. the jet boat is comfortable and felt safe. We opted for the 104 mile, 6 hour round trip and had an absolute blast! Saw several bald eagles and the BBQ lunch at Cougar Lane lodge was delicious. This is a must-do tour on the Oregon coast! Beautiful drive to get there also.

Buy direct from the fisherman. Just the Best. Call in talk with a person on the dock. Order 20-30 lbs, best balence of shipping vs fish. Arrives frozen rock hard, even to Tucson AZ my home. Best quality. Remember - fresh fish at grocery store is not fresh. its old.

Nice local fish market with fresh, frozen and canned local seafood. They have lots of related extras including gift baskets, seasonings, cooking aids, recipes and even salt water taffy.

Staff were very helpful ensuring the dry ice was packed properly, not burn the salmon and would last the 2 day trip home. It was perfectly frozen and went right into the deep freezer when I got home. I appreciate the guidance. They have really good selection of smoked fish too!!

Good place to buy boiled crab and oysters, the lady and gentleman of the store is very nice and helpful. Highly recommended for those who want pure, local, seafood in its best condition

This is a great place to go and be questioned if your cooking skills are up to spec. You know the old adage, "if you're going to insult the customers, make sure to do it within earshot." I hope the Crusty Crone has a great day. I know I will.

I love going to this cannery! Staff are friendly and food is great.

Absolutely the BEST place to order crab. Amazingly good! Wonderful customer service. Shipped both to the east coast and west coast - arrived at both within 24 hours. Will definitely order from them again.

I really liked the oysters here! We had shooters and my husband had the fried oyster platter. I haven't seen oysters that big outside of New Orleans. They were tasty, and the fried ones were cooked well. I also had the crab melt which was nice and I liked being able to get blue cheese with my sweet potato fries. The clam chowder was so so for me (a bit heavy on the potatoes and light on the clams.) Service was quick and they brought a member of our party a dessert for his birthday. It was a rainy day, but still a nice view.

Great food! Cool little place in gold beach, we had the calamari strips and is was long pieces of chunk squid! Wow! the cocktail sauce is made with horseradish and yumm! All the fish really tasted fresh and very good. Also had a cup of clam chowder and loved it, it wasn't real salty like some. Great staff and atmosphere, right on the water in the port!😃 we will be back!

Popped in here with seafood on my mind, they delivered! Try the Mama's special, Fried Cod, it's excellent. And I was sat at a table with a view of the harbor/bay with the sunset and the boats at the docks.

We were at the Rogue River all day. We were heading back to the campsite We were staying in Brookings. The kids were hungry, so stopped here. Had to wait, but we came 1hr before closing time and they still took care of us, really friendly people. Our waiter was awesome S. and Jamie that was at the register. She’s was awesome interact with my kids. The pictures below were from their deck outside it was a beautiful view .

On the go traveling and stopped to eat. Fast service, good food! Clam chowder was delicious and so were our sandwiches. Place was clean and located around other cool shops and near the water, good views from most tables! Highly recommend, thank you!!

Stopped in for lunch as we passed through. Was a great decision! Lunch was fantastic! The lady's working were super friendly and we had a great view while we ate.

Always the best food. So tasty. I got shrimp tacos and they were phenomenal. Really cute decor. The best vibe for a beach vacation meal.

Around 38 dollars with tip for a large pizza on take out … it’s starting to get pretty expensive not their fault it’s just the way things are nowadays. Pizza was good had a combo today as a local I don’t eat here as often as I’d like. But every once in a while I wanna support the local economy and not be bothered to cook:). Pizza had a very thin crust and I like that plenty of cheese and toppings and they give ya a lot of ranch and peppers etc with your take out so I think giving them the tip on takeout is warranted. We use to come here often when we had kids and I think this is where this place really shines having all the fun video games, pool table and claw games. So if your passing through and need a spot to take a break and eat some pizza this is the spot .. enjoy.

It is a unique place to grab pizza. I'm glad we chose to go here. The pizza has great flavor with a nice, crisp crust. The fries were great, along with the onion rings. It was a joy to have good pizza again. (We don't have good pizza where we live). -Regina

We had the best time stopping here with our kids on our drive up the coast! It's definitely a special spot for us now so we will stop here again next time we are coming through. We got the tri-tip pizza and it was excellent. The kids enjoyed the cheese pizza a lot. It was definitely fun and family friendly atmosphere. Loved that we could see the ocean while we ate! The arcade was really fun. We had a trouble with a couple of the games because they're older, but we still had a blast overall.

First time here and looking for a quick bite. I ordered the mini pepperoni pizza and a beer (11$ total order), and it was very mini, and I don't recall it saying it was like guessing a 6 inch round, lol The toppings were very, very thin and not a lot of cheese and sauce. But overall, the price says it all. The service was very slow, and for such a tiny pizza, it took a while to get my plate. I will try again with a larger pizza and see how it goes that way.

Stopped here for dinner on our first night in Gold Beach. Place was pretty packed, which is always a good sign. Staff were super friendly. Prices were reasonable. It wasn't much of a wait, despite being busy. Gave my family an opportunity to play some pool. And Sunset.. aptly named, because we saw a beautiful sunset while eating. Highly recommend!

Great pizza joint... my pizza was hot and tasty, spot on on the toppings. Pizza on the coast doesn't get much better than this

Staff was very friendly. Restaurant was clean and loved the fireplaces. The combo pizza was good but to much cheese on top, kills the flavors of the meat and veggies. Nice crisp thin crust. Would I return, yes!

Great little gift shop and museum attached to Jerry's Rogue River Jet Boat Tours. Definitely make a point to stop here after your boat tour, they have tons of gift and souvenir options. This is also where you can pick up your photograph taken during the boat tour.yje museum is brief but we'll worth a look into the history of the Rogue River. Staff were friendly and prices are reasonable, check it out if you are in Gold Beach.

Great place for all kinds of things you did not know you even wanted, like sasquatch slippers and a coffee mug. Actually the coffee mug was the reason i went there. On previous visits i've pick up t-shirts, decals, magnets and a jacket. i'll be back!

This is a MUST STOP for anyone looking for souvenirs or gifts! The ladies who work here are so helpful and friendly and provide exceptional customer service! We found everything we needed for us and for the people we wanted to bring gifts home to. We even bought a few Christmas gifts! They treat you like family here! Absolutely love this shop! Highly recommend! **We still come back every year to fill up on souvenirs and gifts!♥️💖

Little pricey for the dinner. Cruise betworth every bit of it. Lots of good food. The boat operators are very skilled and lots of fun

I was on a bus tour down the west coast and we stopped here for a jet boat ride up the rouge river. Our captian (Brandon I believe) was phenomenal! Drove the boat like a champ, was extremely knowledgeable about the river and all the wildlife, was funny and engaging and best of all brought his dog on board! We were able to see bald eagles, turkey vultures, herons, harbor seals. Absolutely beautiful scenery. The 2 on site gift shops were awesome too!

Truly amazing experience. It is wonderful for a family trip along the way. If you do choose this I absolutely recommend the 104 mile trip, it is definitely worth it. Friendly staff. Make sure to bring money for lunch, I would recommend $20 per person (more if you want alcohol). Very cool thing to witness. Lots of wildlife views along the way as well. The tour guides paint a picture with lots of backstory.

Nice gift store. They have lots of souvenirs including shirts and sweatshirts in large sizes. The employees were very friendly. Prices were reasonable.

Place was great. There was lots of hand crafted gifts and hand turned bowls and even the shop was amazing and full. Although when it came to the jewelry it was not high quality which in my experience is only alright when the rest of the product is at the same value. Great shop over all

We came into Rogue River Myrtlewoods based on a recommendation from my dad. Nice shop, veteran owned. Mike the owner walked me through his different products and we grabbed a couple items. Highly recommend this shop. He knows what he’s selling, and can walk you through it all. Really enjoyed talking with him and love the items even more.

I stopped by this store last summer as my husband was bicycling down the Oregon coast. I had stopped at several myrtlewood shops, hoping to find something special to take home with me to remember the trip. And this store was fantastic. I bought one of their large lighthouses, they are all one-of-a-kind with different bases and different patterns along the lighthouse portion, and soldered window panes. It makes a beautiful pattern on the wall when the light is on. The shop owners were so nice and even gave us a tour of their woodworking shop in the back. They make everything there by hand. Such a great place!

I go for the locally made jam! It was delicious. Fun shop with lots of selection.

I purchased a lighthouse years ago and it's still just as beautiful as the day I bought it. It's a reminder of our vacation on the Oregon coast. I've contacted them a couple times through the years for info on replacement bulbs and an issue with the cord and they were very helpful and resolved my issue promptly. Great people, awesome artistry!!

Horribly rude and ageist staff going on about how young people are killing their business. We came in as a group of 23 year olds and we would have spent money here had we not felt extremely uncomfortable and judged the minute we walked in.

Great prices on quality products! New favorite myrtle wood shop!

I'm so happy that we stopped in with our grandsons. The park is beautiful and worth the time spent. The lady working was not so friendly. We did not know that the gift shop was the end of the tour. She was clearly aggravated with us and had an attitude. Even when trying to go over the rules with the kids. All in all, we think this is a fun place. -Regina

Total tourist trap. It’s really pretty, and my kiddo loved it, but parents should be free. It’s really small, the walk is short, and it’s not worth the price. Just take a photo with the T-Rex in front, go into the gift shop if you want, and move on.

We found this quirky roadside gem while driving down Highway 101 and had to stop! There’s a cute dino-themed gift shop and a short trail full of delightfully cheesy dinosaur sculptures, took us about 20 minutes to walk through. Such a fun, nostalgic stop and totally worth it if you’re cruising the 101!

The prehistoric creatures are in no way realistic, but I went in knowing that. The dinosaurs are very retro and a ton of fun. Additionally, the setting was absolutely gorgeous, a rain forest of ferns and mosses skunk cabbage and tropicals with massive leaves. Enjoyable for adults, and if you have children then definitely take them!

Extremely friendly staff, gorgeous outdoors rainforest, dinosaur sculptulures are beautifully done & well preserved, great gift shop, clean restrooms, & not too expensive.

This was an amazing experience, we had so much fun reading all the facts and spotting the dinosaurs. It was such a fun walk.

Short, interesting trail through nature with dinos, exact what I expected. Worth the time and entrance fee, especially for kids or anyone with an interest in dinosaurs. Multiple informational signs and a cute little gift shop at the end.

Definitely worth visiting. The views are awesome. The sandstone formations at the point are like being on another planet. I have been here three times in the last five years and it never disappoints. The road is a little rough going in but don't be in a hurry and you will be fine. The road in is less than a 1/4 mile to the parking area.

Very very beautiful beach! You can walk the trail to otter point and the view is stunning. But be fair warned you can not get to the beach from that trail. We went left at the trail head to the costal trail and walked for about 30 minutes with no ways to access the beach ether so we turned around. Right before leaving we noticed a trail to the right of the parking lot (across from the actual trailhead). We walked the short trail up and down and across a stream to find a rope trail down a cliff side. While it wasn’t extremely hard or dangerous please note you will get muddy!!! If not on the way down, on the way back!! No restrooms, no picnic tables, no other amenities. Just nature and a trail.

It has 2 ways to go. A short one for an upper view and a longer one for a beach walk. A nice place to spend an hour or spend a day.

This was in the first week of September. Amazing weather and views of the ocean and rock formations. There's no safety rail or whatever, so I wouldn't recommend going too close to the edge. You can see that there's a lot of erosion happening and cave-ins. No beach access, or we didn't really notice it. A short walk to access the cliff.

It's a nice and beautiful place to stop and see. Just be careful. It's a one lane road. The parking area has a few extra pot holes at the moment.

Any point on the Oregon Coast doesn't disappoint. All access is an area you can experience a memory whether it be from a photo or video. I've traveled from South to North on this coast, so I know of what I speak. It's a coast you won't forget!

Unbelievable 360 degree views! Short hike over to the cliffs edge, but well worth it.

Beautiful beach with wonderful photo opportunities. The access trail to the beach is a really nice touch for people with mobility issues, and has a nice handicap trail! The beach is clean and goes both directions around the town, and is great for long walks or just a relaxing day. The parking area and visitor center are located on the south end of town, and the access road is a little steep but not terrible, however I Wouldn't recommend large campers. There is a playground area for children, and a large parking lot right at the access point to the beach area with the visitor center located by the playground. So far on our trip up and down the coast, we would say this is one of my favorite beaches that we have visited, and I would recommend it . It's a great Beach for all ages and abilities. The handicap Trail only goes to the sand but it gives you a beautiful view of the water and the hills around the ocean.

I appreciate that there is an info center with nice, helpful folks. The parking lot is roomy and a convenient spot to get regrouped, take in the view, have a picnic, and walk out to the beach. It's nice to have restrooms available for the folks visiting or passing through; however, the last few times I've tried to use them, the cleanliness and maintenance were bad. For example, the cleaner of the two stalls, the lock didn't work, and the larger stall that did have a working lock, someone had taken a huge dump (no other way to say it) and either missed the toilet or it overflowed because there was a huge disgusting pile of it hanging on the side of the bowl. It was dried out, which tells me it had been left like that for quite a while. I just about lost my breakfast and did not use either of them. I know it's a tough job keeping these public places clean. I hope you get the help and funding you need to hopefully improve the situation with these facilities. To their credit, once I let them know about it, it was cleaned up when I checked back a couple hours later. Thank you to whoever had the misfortune to have to do that. I'm sorry you have to deal with messes like that, but you are MUCH appreciated!

If you’re looking for a GREAT spot to view a spectacular sunset … Gold Beach Visitors Center was PERFECT!! Easy access, plenty of parking and BEAUTIFUL!!

Very nice visitor center on the Southern end of town. Not as well marked as it could be, but worth searching for the sign. The center is down near the beach with a nice trail leading to a beautiful beach. Very helpful people to give you ideas for where to go. The trail is paved down to a beautiful view of the ocean, so wheelchairs and strollers can go that far, but is sand the rest of the way.

The staff here are very kind and helpful! Lots of information on things to do in the area. Good parking and easy access to the beach. In the summers they even put down a mat on the trail which makes it possible for people with wheelchairs to go look at the beach

Me and my disabled child reserved the David's chair two days before his birthday. They helped with everything and made us feel very welcomed. They even got my little guy a balloon and a treat. They were amazing and we will definitely be coming back. Thank you so much!!

We didn't go into the visitor's center. We hoped for decent restrooms but there were only dirty porta-potties. Nice picnic area. Children's play area was dingy; not very welcoming. A fresh coat of paint would be helpful. Beach was nearly deserted. The beach was littered with lovely, rounded stones, and the incoming waves were spectacular. The sand was soft for sitting and taking in the view. Handicapped parking was available with an asphalt trail to picnic tables but not to the beach.

I lived at the house on the property when I was little there was a lot of strange things going on didn't know the full history but it's weird I was born on the 22nd of February

Beautiful setting for a picnic! Well kept small park. Nice path to walk but watch your dogs; it leads back onto hwy 101. No restrooms.

Neat little historical park off of 101 about 7 miles north of gold beach. There are picnicking tables and ample parking. There are not any bathrooms but a great place to stop and stretch your legs or to let your furry friends do the same.

Didn't realize the significance and how truly special this place was until I read the history. It's a read but definately worth it. The path only goes to the road but a nice little hike through woods. Good place for a little picnic but it may be haunted by that poor family.

Only a tiny gravesite for a historical family. Good for 5 minutes and good that it is 15 seconds off the highway. You would not be taking pictures ..

Creepy little pit stop

A nice quiet little rest area with picnic tables and gravesite.

Fantastic local find! Tons of originals and prints to choose from, local landscapes, wildlife, local images of flora, fauna & fungi. There is truly something here for everyone! Artists & Owners Maja & Magda are splendid to talk to and their work is exceptional! Support our local Gold Beach artists!

I highly recommend this gallery to anyone who loves the coastal beauty of the Gold Beach area and wishes to have a little of that magic represented in their home. The artists truly celebrate the wild spirit of the ocean, beaches, rivers, forests and creatures along the coast of Southern Oregon. I love this gallery!
