Visitor Information for
Oregon’s Southern Coast. Our division
between the Central Coast and the Southern Coast is the county line between
Lane and Douglas Counties which lies between the Cities of Florence and
Reedsport. The southern border of
the South Coast is the California State Line.
Oregon’s South Coast offers a wide variety of
spectacular ocean beaches from wide and sandy to steep cliffs that dive
into the Pacific Ocean.
The cities along the south coast offer a wide variety of
attractions. The cities are listed
from north to south in the green column to the left.
The South Coast isn’t just about the coastal cities and
the Pacific Ocean. The coastal
mountain offer another whole aspect for the visitor with their mountain
lookouts and wild unspoiled rivers.
