this episode of organ lifestyles has been made possible by the city of britain's organ located in the heart of america's wild rivers coast oregon this is the southern most coastal town in oregon we're right over the california border and this is the first place you might want to stop to pick up some information there's a lot of little trails are really very near to the beach and the visitor center is absolutely gorgeous so let's go inside and see if we can find a i am here in the beautiful corner of refuse harbor and one of my favorite activities is to go kayaking on the korean coast it's always beautiful and the birds harbor it's on the banana belt so keeps it a little bit warmer year round this is actually mid october and it's t shirt whether this is a good place to paddle because it's so protected from the swells in the wind and there's as you can see the waters really clear there's lots of birds to check out along the edge of the river i know the really cool thing about being on the organ coast in  can kayak fish also river fish and so people come here to catch salmon thank you for taking us out thanks for having me on the cheka river brooking's harbor on a beautiful day a morning paddle was a great way to start my coastal adventure and now it was time to find a place to stay for the next few nights the wonderful thing about all the accommodations and burkean zg is there in walking distance to tear down a restaurant shopping very close to the checker river and a short walk to the beach here in  by this time i had worked up quite the appetite and so i took a stroll through town to see what i could find i mean our alley grill i'm here with christina olson who runs the gallery downstairs is a very very unique building because does it not real stories it is good food they have here you have a lot of local artists here yes that's our main focus and your own art yes all right it's very beautiful thank you yeah another really fun thing for people to do is you have an art walk the second saturday  each month round twelve venue's each with live music and fresh it's really fun people come for the snacks and stay for the art but i'm really looking forward to enjoying this beautiful salad salads too since sandwiches all homemade and the same stuff too regular entrees there downstairs oh well that's one of i think we should just dig into the salad and i enjoy your day for years the coast of oregon has attracted and inspired a variety of artists piece whole log table there always seems to be a festival or special event happening on the southern oregon coast one of the longest running annual events is the southern oregon kite festival since one thousand nine hundred three the southern oregon kite festival has been one of the premier kite festivals in the united states with some of the most well known kite flyers and makers displaying their creations you may have heard of the term organs bounty the state of oregon is rich with natural resources combine that with the popular idea that anything is possible and you will find an overwhelming amount of locally produced products in and around brookings you will find craft beers and distilled spirits and a great our products from the food itself and so we do it on a seasonal basis it appears from the road valley and they bring him in after they harvest them green put them in the cold storage so they sit out in the sunshine and then they ripen and when they're are what i call people the only two legal with firepot still in the country we use a lot of wood that we have on the property and we use it to go ahead and boil our product and the con that's sweet it's good i like that so it's really fun to come out here to for any peek distillery it's just outside of brookings just north and it's up in the wilderness in the rain forrest and thank you so much lifestyles and i really enjoyed the oh and that is different it's really really good i'm really excited that you guys have this brewery and workings it's very awesome for the area and for southern oregon of course another great local product on the coast is fresh fish so if you're down here in harbor right next to  actually come down and buy fish right from the fisherm and everything in season all what's nice about the fish market in the restaurant is that tammy who runs the restaurant is getting a lot of fresh fish and i process here and s growler do not know what it prowler is maybe you've been hearing about that the reason that you want to have a growler in your car as i do is when i travel it's because sometimes the breweries will only make a certain amount of a specialty beer and then when it's al it's al and so this is a way that you can get a beer that they're not bottling or selling in any other way than a growl and also biscuit ny have gone and picked up some fresh seafood this would be salmon from the local market as luck would have it the tides were low so i went out to see what i could find there were a variety of starfish and c n n emmy's and other strange creatures i had never seen it was like walking through a natural aquarium and now it was time to find i was getting a really good taste of organs bounty and chefs throughout the state take full advantage of all the seasonal local products this queen believe very here also known as fourteen mushroom absolutely lovely up for a moment where your chicken in here are going to go and put in some or fresh sliced believes there's a beautiful little perfect specimen right there in southern oregon actually the whole coast of oregon house just an amazing amazing supply of fresh local fantastic it was going to be an early night for me because tomorrow i get to go out on the ocean for a chartered fishing trip the organ coast is famous for sports fishing and the options seem endless depending on the season there is a real good chance of catching salmon or steelhead from one of the many rivers or booking a trip on a charter boat and going out in the ocean for rockfish it's thirty three acres it's a lovely year round because we're on the banana belt which means there's a warm air stream these azaleas some of them have been here since eighteen zero five and some of the things that are fun is kids town like come and bring your kids here to run around  crazy one of my favorite things in azalea park is in december when they do the christmas lights in this entire park turns into something you've never seen before a lot of sea creature and they have summer concerts that are free if you're displays of night t v century pioneer life and on the same grounds here at the museum you will find the largest monterey cypress tree in the united states at one hundred thirty feet tall  of the things that's really special and unique is the redwood cinema they have three d which is really special for you know a coastal town and they also have something i've never seen in any other theater anywhere they have love and so beautiful out here and it's a great place to come and play the holes are beautiful each of them have is has its own unique characteristics lots of elevated tee shots we even have an island green we're up here all alone so you have have the whole to yourself almost on every hole it's a championship eighteen hole golf course you have to get your shots be careful your club selection was a great experience and a good challenge things about stand up paddle yes it's probably the closest thing to walking on water and because this is crystal clear water you can see into the water that means you can see a lot of the wildlife i just love and one of the wonderful things about coming up river just a couple miles off the coast is the temperature changes dramatically and so if it's seventy on the coast it might be eighty eighty five ninety eight inland so if you're on the coast and it's foggy you literally have to drive a about five ten miles and i'm so sorry but i'm really excited to try it along with the local beer and the local products ever going to meet some of your guys you work with as you do these local products i'm sitting next to all the local ingredients and they're at the this morning i'm going to take a little morning drive and check out the beautiful redwoods maybe stop at lucky seven casino and continue from there california redwoods are the tallest living things on earth some are over three hundred  sixty feet tall and as much as two thousand years old redwood national and state parks are just a short drive south of brookings on the way i saw herd of elk after spending the morning with these magnificent giants it was time for lunch and another local so these are very easy little paul watts right off the highway one o one and between the pacific ocean and there's not a big commitment if you want to drive between brookings and gold beach and just stop off and take a five minute walk a fifteen minute walk a three hour hike anything you want to do it's super worth stopping a couple of my favorites are indian sands we're going to check that it's a little bit foggy so we'll see if we can see anything today indian sand sits on the southern end of samuel boardman park it can be one of the best places on the oregon coast to watch big waves especially in the winter so just a little bit north outside of workings on the way to gold beach oregon is pistol river we're standing just adjacent to pistol river this is a world famous beach for windsurf eat and kite surfing in fact they have a giant wind surfing competition here in july you'll find this beach just packed it's actually october so it's not a really windy day right now which is why you see the fog and that's it as you can see behind me it's absolutely gorgeous and were done this
