Planning a Trip

Getting There -- There is no convenient way to get to this stretch of coast. Coming from the north, the nearest highway connection to I-5 is Ore. 42 from Roseburg to Bandon. Coming from the south, you must either follow U.S. 101 north through California or take U.S. 199 southwest from Grants Pass and then continue north on U.S. 101. There is also a narrow, winding road over the mountains to Gold Beach from Galice (near Grants Pass).

Visitor Information -- For more information on Port Orford, contact the Port Orford & North Curry Chamber of Commerce, Battle Rock Park, U.S. 101 S. (P.O. Box 637), Port Orford, OR 97465 (tel. 541/332-8055; www.discoverportorford.com). For information on the Gold Beach area, contact the Gold Beach Promotion Committee, 94080 Shirley Lane (P.O. Box 375), Gold Beach, OR 97444 (tel. 800/525-2334 or 541/247-7526; www.goldbeach.org), which, at press time, had plans to move its visitor center to South Beach Park at the south end of town, so be sure to call ahead.
