In the South Coast Region

Brookings-Harbor

Brookings and Harbor are two communities on either side of the Chetco River, united by their shared port. Found within a unique “banana belt” near the Southern Oregon border, warm weather and rugged beauty are all around.

The temperatures around Brookings are so significantly warmer than other towns nearby that meteorologists named the phenomena — the Brookings Effect. It’s often 30 °F hotter in Brookings-Harbor than nearby areas, and temperatures in the middle of winter sit comfortably in the mid-70s. Because of this favorable weather, Brooking-Harbor is a center for the plant nursery industry, and there are several beautiful gardens in town. Driving to Brookings from the north while traveling on Highway 101 brings you through the Samuel H. Boardman State Scenic Corridor, a 12-mile odyssey of one stunning view after another.
