We took a family trip up to Gold Beach early this August and had a great time. We spent lots of time at the river looking for berries, and hunting for rocks to throw into the water (to inevitably scare the fish away), time at the beach hunting for shells and looking at tide pools, and lots of time watching the various wildlife (bugs, lizards, deer and birds). The trip was incredibly relaxing and we are already planning our next trip up there.
