SOUTHERN OREGON COAST
The flip side of its northern coastal counterpart, Oregon's southern coast is further from
the major inland metropolises and consequently gets less attention, less traffic, less bustle
and more solitude. Much of the coastline here is nearly pristine, with a wild and dramatic
feel. Beautiful clean rivers gush from inland mountainsides down to the sea, offering ex-
ceptional salmon and steelhead fishing along with boating recreation. Life is laid-back
and relatively subdued; if you find a sandy beach at the end of a hiking trail, chances are
you'll have it to yourself.
Despite its remoteness, the southern coast is slowly attracting development and a finer
class of tourism, and you won't have a hard time finding the occasional upscale resort,
world-class golf course or amazing gourmet restaurant - if that's what you're looking for.
Harboring a milder climate (and less precipitation) than the north has its advantages as
well, and the scenic drives - especially from Port Orford to Brookings - boast some of
the most memorable coastal views you'll ever set eyes on.
