Gold Beach is a city located along the scenic Southern Oregon Coast, about 40 miles from the California border. The city encompasses an area that’s roughly 2.8 square miles, and is currently home to approximately 2,000 permanent residents. Originally called “Ellensburg” during the mid-1800s, it was later on given the name Gold Beach after the beach sands close to the mouth of Rogue River, where placer mines were able to extract plenty of gold. The town eventually became the official county seat of Curry County in 1858. Today, Gold Beach is popular for both outdoor lovers looking for adventures and anyone looking for a relaxing and picturesque paradise to call home. With its sprawling forest landscapes and close proximity to both the Pacific Ocean and the Rogue River, Gold Beach is certainly one of the most breathtaking areas in all of Oregon, if not the entire country.
