Description
The entire Oregon coast is a beautiful place. However, if we decided to move there this is our favorite town...Gold Beach on the Pacific Ocean and Rogue River. Population 2,253.
The temperatures in the summer don't go much above 70-75F (21-24C) and don't drop much below 50F (10C) in the winter. There are more sunny days at Gold Beach than anywhere else along the Oregon coast.
Why we will not be moving here: (1) 475 miles from nearest family and friends, (2) average of 80 inches (2032 mm) of rain during the winter (October-April) and (3) nearest major medical facilities are about 4 hours away by car.
But we've been tempted!
ZOOM worthy.

I can see why you have both been tempted. This is a beautiful little town and zoom is a must. Excellent photograph Bill.

A nice country!

A nice wide view, Bill. Not sure if I'd pick Gold Beach as my favorite place to live on the Oregon coast, but I do like the town a lot & would add one more reason - it has the best restaurant we've found on the coast - Anna's By The Sea. But I thought Brookings had the most sunny days on the coast?

I love the entire Oregon coast as well. I have also felt very tempted to move there. Of course now that would mean an intercontinental move of over 5000 miles and would take my husband that far from his family. I would be much closer to most of my side of the family, but the clincher for me would be the fact of no medical facilities close by. This is a gorgeous and tempting shot of this beautiful area.

I can understand both the pros and cons of living in this beautiful place. Temps sound delightful (104 here today) but the rain and distance to travel to loved ones and large city would tip the scale for me too. Lovely shot, though!

Sounds like ideal place with those temps. Beautiful image, Bill!

It does look idyllic but no good if away from everything. xx

What a beautiful place this is and the temperatures are tempting, i admit, only I agree with you on the medical facilities. It is too far from that.

A gorgeous pano Bill and it sounds like a wonderful place to like except for the rain and remoteness!

Perfect climate! Shame about the medical stuff. What a glorious view!

super scene

Even choosing it as a summer only spot doesn't make the remoteness work out any better. :P Pity ... it's such a delightful place, and possesses one of my all-time favorite bridges!

very beautiful view

I sometimes think that I wouldn't want to move to some of my favorite spots. Visiting them with none of life's 'serious' stuff to do is half the fun!

It is exquisitely lovely, I can see the temptation, but agree with the reasons not to do it. Super big shot of this beautiful place!

I especially like the gradient effect of the blue water and sky in this splendid shot of your lovely Gold Beach, Bill.

Beautiful capture Bill.

This is a lovely place! Your photo could increase the population here all by itself - it makes this place very tempting indeed! An incredible photo, Bill!

See now, if that was Britain, none of that would matter lol Rain pah! What's that.. It looks perfect mate, but as you say, 4hrs and not having an NHS service you are stuck... Beautiful shot.. Rob
