Gold Beach was formed in the 1850s and was originally named Ellensburg, which accounts for its main thoroughfare of the same name, also known as Highway 101.

Visitors often feel as they too have struck gold, as Gold Beach has some of the most stunning scenery comprised of ocean waves, river rapids, mountain vistas and endless skies.
