Welcome to Brookings by the Sea,If you’ve ever stood on a windswept bluff overlooking the Pacific, watched the sun break through the clouds over sea stacks, or walked a quiet forest trail that suddenly opens to the ocean, you understand the magic of the Southern Oregon Coast.

Brookings by the Sea is a place where we share the beauty, adventure, and everyday moments that make this corner of Oregon so special.

My husband, our dogs, and I spend much of our free time exploring the trails, beaches, rivers, and forests that surround Brookings. From sunset hikes along rugged coastal headlands to wandering beneath towering redwoods just minutes from the ocean, we’re constantly reminded how lucky we are to call this place home. Brookings isn’t just another coastal town.

Thanks to its unique climate — often called the “Banana Belt” of Oregon — it enjoys more sunshine and milder weather than most of the coast. That means more opportunities to hike, explore, photograph wildlife, and enjoy the outdoors year-round. Through Brookings by the Sea, we want to share the places that inspire us:

  • Hidden beaches and dramatic sea stacks
  • Scenic hiking trails along the coast and rivers
  • Quiet forest paths beneath redwoods and myrtlewood
  • Viewpoints and photography spots
  • Dog-friendly adventures throughout the region
  • Local travel tips to help you make the most of your visit

Whether you’re planning your first trip to Brookings, returning to explore more of the Southern Oregon Coast, or simply dreaming about your next outdoor adventure, our goal is to help you experience this place the way we do — slowly, curiously, and with appreciation for its wild beauty.

Along the way you’ll also find Brookings by the Sea merchandise, inspired by the landscapes that make this region unforgettable. Every design celebrates the coast we love — the sea stacks, forests, sunsets, and the sense of freedom that comes with exploring them. So take a look around, discover a new trail, plan your next coastal adventure, and come experience Brookings by the Sea. The coast is calling!
