PORT ORFORD OREGON
Our original plans was to travel down to Gold Beach, but since we left late in the morning we felt it better too stop and visit Port Orford, which is a unique town.
Like every small town in the US it’s also facing economic problems. We only found a couple of restaurants in the town that had full menu items; the remaining restaurants in town were either closed or were out of business.

We did however find a small resturant on the dock called Griff’s. Not only is it a restaurant but a tackle and gift shop, and a Nautical Museum. Actually the food was pretty good even though we stuck with the old American hamburger they do have a great menu for seafood’s also.
When you set foot on the dock at 
the Port of Port Orford you'll actually be in two places at once. First, you'll be standing on a modern, upgraded dock facility, and secondly you'll be on a piece of real estate with an historic and exciting past. Truly, one of the most unique docks in the world.

The entrance way along the road has a neat view point including a bench with colorful ceramic tiles, which make up an array of different pictures.
As you can see we were fortunate to be there when they were bringing up a fishing boat with the hoist on the dock. Quite a thing to observe. I now wish I would have asked how much they charge to launch and retrieve their boats.
