Brookings-Harbor is located about six miles north of the California border on Hwy. 101, Brookings-Harbor is the only spot in the continental U.S. that was bombed by Japan, a foreign power in World War II. The bomb site is marked by a monument accessed from the Bombsite Trail, located on South Bank Road about ten miles inland from Brookings-Harbor. Twenty years later, the pilot of the plane returned to Brookings during their annual Azalea Festival, and presented the town with his personal samurai sword. The sword is now on display at Brookings City Hall. It had been carried in his plane for good luck.

Brookings-Harbor is also famous for growing nearly 90% of America's Easter lilies. You can see the fields of blooming lilies when you drive between Brookings-Harbor and Crescent City in the early summer.
