In Reno, 4 different people (eye doctor, RV park neighbor, staff at hospital radiology department) told us about how great Gold Beach was going to be. Each of them had suggestions and nothing but praise for Gold Beach. We have tried the breakfast suggestion - nothing special like we were led to believe. Still looking for the fruit stand that we supposedly couldn't miss. Considering the smallness of the town, we are surprised we can't find it either.
The coast line IS beautiful!!! Strange huge rock formations just off shore against which the waves break all day long. Sometimes it's impossible to get down to the beach at all but mostly it's a matter of how far do you want to walk down and back up.
There was a BIG storm this past winter that resulted in TONS of drift wood piled up on the beach at the high tide mark. Really TONS!!! Sometimes access to the beach is complicated by having to climb over the piles of drift wood. They don't seem to have any plans for removing the left over debris. We haven't seen any beach residents on blankets or towels. Mostly, they are, like us, running their dog(s) or just themselves. Or, they are beachcombers looking for "loot" that has washed up.
The temperatures are nice with a strong wind off the coast. So, we aren't expecting high temperatures or cold nights. The park reflects the temporary nature of RVing and our neighbors have changed out twice already.
