We might be bragging a bit...

It’s Oregon law that the entire Coast is open to everyone. Explore all 363 miles. Check out our post, 'Gold Beach Rolls Out Mobi-mats as the First Recipient of OCVA Mobi-mat Accessibility Funding' to learn more.

Just a reminder that the Gold Beach Visitor Center has 2 David's Chair Outdoor Mobility Systems chairs and a Tow and Go Trailer available for anyone with mobility issues to use for FREE! Chairs can be taken out here on the beach in two-hour sessions at 94080 Shirley Lane or you can take the trailer and a chair out for up to 7 days to a location of your choice. We are so excited to offer this opportunity to visitors and community members alike.

We are so excited to have the Mobi Mats here in Gold Beach at South Beach Park (94080 Shirley Lane). We wanted to share some information about them. The mats are a ADA-compliant rollout access mat designed to provide a stable surface for people with mobility challenges or wheelchair users. These particular ones do not float and do not go out to the ocean. They are a versatile solution to allow accessibility to our beautiful beaches. The mats will be out 24 hours a day until mid-September when our tides start getting higher. At that time we will roll them up and store them until late spring of 2025. We'd like to thank The Oregon Coast for the opportunity to get the Mobi-Mats and Trailkeepers of Oregon for installing them for us.
