Reedsport to Brookings, places to stay; winter deals
Port Orford’s Sisters Rock State Park. Strangely not actually listed on the state park’s website but called Sister Rock State Park, the place is a somewhat tiny attraction yet crammed full of unique finds. All of it, however, is tucked away just off bustling Highway 101. It’s easy to zoom past this spot that’s full of character.
The telltale two giant blobs emerge pretty quickly into sight. A small parking lot gives way to huge views, and a semi-paved path or two up to the blobby rock and then down to either side of Sisters Rock State Park. To the south, you have the rubbly, more pebble-covered beach that’s rougher until it gives way to softer sands. On the northern edges it’s softer, gray sands – but those darker tints contain a secret. On this part of the southern Oregon coast darker strands often mean gold.
