Cozy Turtle Rock Resort is on the Rugged Oregon Coast and Has Beach Access, a Fishing Guide, a Restaurant and Colorful Cottages

With forested mountains to the east, the ocean to the west and the mighty Rogue River to the north, Gold Beach is 35 miles north of the California border on southern Oregon's rugged coast. It is the home of Turtle Rock, a cozy resort and second home community spread over 24 acres of prime coastal land. Fern grottos and a tidal pond are part of the common grounds.

Turtle Rock contains more than 100 cottage, RV, and tent sites. Some cottages (park models) are available for sale, although the resort does not advertise this fact. Many homes come furnished and with appliances. A colorful exterior, Trex decking and a hot tub are common features. The smallest cottage has 400 square feet of living space plus a 150 square foot loft. The biggest is about 790 square feet.

Prices start in the low-$100,000s. Please verify this price with a Realtor as it is bound to change. The monthly lot lease fee is about $700 and covers water, TV, garbage service, and grounds upkeep. Turtle Rock welcomes RV "workampers" and is popular with other part-time residents.

Residents have unfettered access to seven miles of beach. The community has a shared meeting room, a kitchen, an exercise room, a store, and a laundry. A summer season fishing guide is part of the staff, and neighbors meet for yoga, education classes, and holiday potlucks. A bar and grill is within walking distance, and the Arch Rock Brewery is just across Hunter Creek. Pets are welcome.

Gold Beach is a nice little town, and its Wild River Coast Art Festival offers local wines, brews, and wares from more than 40 artisans. Gold Beach Books, the largest bookstore on the Oregon coast, shares its space with Biscuit Coffee House and Art Gallery. Cape Blanco Lookout is open for horseback riding, hiking, biking, and lighthouse tours. The nearby Rogue River National Recreation Area is open to fishermen, campers, hikers and more.

Curry General Hospital provides medical care.

Gold Beach sees little snow but receives, on average, 80 inches of rain per year. Most of it comes during the fall, winter and spring. Summer temperatures are in the 50s and 60s, and and winter temperatures are in the 40s and 50s. Skies are often overcast, and the wind is often blowing

Coastal Oregon is a rugged and scenic stretch of the Pacific Northwest, known for its dramatic cliffs, sandy beaches, and charming small towns. The coastline offers a cooler, maritime climate, with misty mornings, mild summers, and rainy winters that keep the landscape lush and green.

Popular destinations like Cannon Beach, Newport, and Bandon provide a mix of art galleries, seafood restaurants, and historic lighthouses, while quieter villages appeal to those seeking solitude and natural beauty. Outdoor enthusiasts enjoy hiking along forested headlands, beachcombing, whale watching, and exploring tide pools.

While the coast can feel remote and the weather unpredictable, its unspoiled landscapes, slower pace of life, and strong sense of community make it a beloved destination for both residents and visitors.

What Part of the Country Has the Most 55+ Communities

The part of the country with the highest concentration of 55+ communities is the Sun Belt, particularly the Southeast and Southwest. Florida leads the way, with hundreds of age-restricted neighborhoods ranging from small developments to massive, resort-style communities like The Villages.

Arizona is another hotspot, especially around Phoenix and Tucson, where retirees are drawn to the dry climate and year-round sunshine. Other states with significant numbers include California, Texas, Nevada, and the Carolinas, all of which combine warmer weather, lower taxes in many areas, and amenities that appeal to active retirees.

While 55+ communities can be found nationwide, it is the southern and southwestern states—with their mild winters and outdoor-oriented lifestyles—that dominate as the most popular regions for this type of living.
