Gold Beach, Coastal town in Curry County, Oregon, United States
Gold Beach sits between the Pacific Ocean and Siskiyou Mountains, where the Rogue River flows into marine waters at the southern Oregon coast.
The settlement changed its name from Ellensburg to Gold Beach in 1890 due to the presence of gold particles discovered in the beach sands.
The Central Curry School District operates Riley Creek School and Gold Beach High School, serving the educational needs of local residents.
The Gold Beach Visitor Center remains open daily from 9 AM to 3 PM, providing maps and information about regional activities and attractions.
The city maintains one of only two remaining rural mailboat routes in the United States, delivering mail along the Rogue River since 1895.
