I think the views along here are so nice. The next major town is Gold Beach, famous for the Rogue River jet boats. Leaving the Brookings area, I think the next 50 miles are one of the highlights of Highway 101 – unquestionably one of the three most beautiful stretches along the entire coast! You’ll see many State Parks and areas to pull over, park and take photos.
We like to stop here and buy supplies for a picnic. This is a massive building on your left and they can provide you with lots of brochures and maps.īrookings is a largish town with all services and a lovely marina and beach area, as well as several nice parks. I have included a lot of photos of Highway 101, from south to north, so my review will also be going south to north :-)Īfter crossing into Oregon from California, you may wish to stop at the “welcome center”. I have lived on the Oregon coast for nearly 25 years and my husband and I frequently travel both north and south along Hwy 101.
