About Brookings' Harbor

THE PORT OF BROOKINGS - HARBOR is the busiest recreational port on the Oregon Coast.

I believe that it is one of the most beautiful ports. I probably feel this way because I live here and it offers me a place to moor our sailboat as well as a place to walk and enjoy the beach!

The Port of Brookings - Harbor has suffered financial woes in the past and also the present. But I think that the Port commissioners, management and staff will find ways to fix the problems because the port is too important for our community.

Listed below are some interesting facts about our Port:
