Reedsport boasts a diversified economy with an emphasis on manufacturing and tourism. Winchester Bay, to its south, is a sheltered harbor with a fishing fleet, endless dunes, beautiful beaches – and tourism-related businesses. Gardiner, to its north, is a small, historic community and offers one of the largest parcels of industrial land still available on the Oregon Coast.
