Oregon's South Coast runs from Reedsport to the California border across Douglas, Coos, and Curry counties, with jetty rockwork at every river mouth and high-energy sandstone reef at Cape Arago and Port Orford. Port Orford is widely called the clearest water on the Oregon coast, and the no-take Redfish Rocks Marine Reserve anchors the offshore.
