Eight years ago, we bought a one-bedroom cabin in Coast Village in Florence (80 feet elevation). We are currently living in the Eugene area so we can get over pretty much every weekend. During the summer Highway 101 is extremely busy, mostly people are there to ride the dunes and many other things. Very quickly we learned all of the backroads and where all the traffic lights are on 101, that will save you aggravation during the high tourist season. During October through May however, the town kind of dries up, it's our favorite time to be there. It's location is great, it's only about an hour to Eugene, but Florence has major stores plenty of "coast" stuff to do and great medical facilities. Those are some of the many reasons we will fully retire there in about 2 1/2 years. Great video.
I live in Bandon and feel very safe. The yellow is the "Old Town" area by the way and it has burned more times than flooded. My homeowners insurance reflects to large risk.
There is a hospital in Gold Beach, about 30 miles away from Brookings. Brookings has medical clinics and urgent care connected to the same hospital system.

Very nice compilation, Paul! Your narrative really enhanced the information on the lists! A lot to think about....
Very informative! Thank you! 😊
Florence is high on my destination list. I agree that it's not QUITE in the major tourist corridor.

Thank you for chiming in!
Is there a major hospital system close to Brookings? Our family is considering moving there and my mother in law is elderly.
