Welcome to the Banana Belt of Oregon, aptly named for its unusually mild and somewhat tropical climate. Located on the southern Oregon Coast, the town of Brookings experiences some of the most exceptional weather in the country all year round. This beautiful town of Oregon boasts some of the best fishing, hiking, and scenic landscapes in the Pacific Northwest and only rests 6 miles away from its Golden State neighbor, California.

The most prominent industry in Brookings includes lily bulb farming, with a small twelve-mile stretch between Brookings and the Town of Smith River, California accounting for 100% of the lily bulb crop grown in North America.

Since the incorporation of Brookings in 1951, this charming town has become a common settling spot for professionals, retirees, families, and nature lovers alike. There is no confusion as to why when you consider the seven miles of picturesque coastline and the abundant wilderness that canvasses over 2400 acres of Brookings, Oregon. Snaking through that landscape lays the Chetco River, which is infamous for its pristine waters and lush greenery that lines its shores. This picture perfect river is a popular getaway for fly fishing, kayaking, white water rafting, camping, and picnicking.

Brookings has a sister town known as Harbor, Oregon, and the two are often combined to appear as Brookings-Harbor, Oregon. Harbor includes a population of fewer than 3,000 people and covers a geographic area of about 2.3 square miles. The two sister towns share the landscape that makes Oregon one of the most stunning states in the country.

Besides a temperate climate, life in Brookings-Harbor affords residents the opportunity to take advantage of whale-watching and coastal recreation such as tide pool exploring, beachcombing, and more. A number of beautiful parks can be found in the area, and kite flying has become a popular activity as well. Combine this with the warm friendly people and you will have an unforgettable experience awaiting you.
