Port Orford is unexpected. Quirky. Independent. Authentic character…and characters.
Where the forests and the mountains meet the crashing seas, it’s a town as remarkable for what it has as well as what it doesn’t.
You’ll find amazing natural beauty. Fresh, clean air. Unbeaten paths and clear vistas as far as the eye can see. No strip malls. No fast food. No crowds.
Lots to see and do and perfectly located to explore Oregon’s spectacular south coast.
Enjoy yourself. Naturally.

"And then, around a bend in the road, buildings and trees fell away and we were standing at the continent’s edge, before a vast azure bowl of mountain, sea and sky.
"Imagine the shabby picturesque waterfront of an outer Maine island fused onto the topographic drama of Big Sur: that’s Port Orford. There’s a salty, dreamy, small-town vibe to the place; every street ends in blue sea framed by huge dark green humps of land; and, as we discovered when the sun came blazing up over the Coast Range the next morning, dazzling white light saturates the whole composition. Somehow the town’s stark beauty was all the more exhilarating because we had arrived under our own steam." |
