summer and cool days in the winter.<\/p>\n<p>The town is located on the south end of the southern Oregon coast, just six miles north of the California border. Located on US Highway 101, at the mouth of the beautiful Chetco River, Brookings is the largest town in the sparsely populated Curry County.<\/p>\n<p>Harbor is an unincorporated area just to the south, across the Chetco River bridge. Harbor is worth a quick detour off of US Route 101 to discover the shopping, fresh fish dining plus river and ocean views.<\/p>\n<h2>Sightseeing,\u00a0Fishing, Redwoods, and more.<\/h2>\n<p>To the north is the stunning Samuel H. Boardman State Park with its spectacular coastline, rocky outcroppings, and smooth, sandy beaches, all easily accessible from highway US 101.<\/p>\n<p>Nearby is the Alfred A.
