Review:
Rockaway Beach is a broad crescent of sand and sea tucked between 2 rocky outcrops in Pacifica. This brown-sand beach is a favorite haunt of surfers and shoreline fishermen, but when the tide comes in it leaves very little of the sandy beach exposed. The beach is surrounded by hotels and restaurants where you can stay or eat. Besides enjoying the sun, visitors to Rockaway Beach can go hiking along 2 trails at either end of the beach or explore the paved bike path which runs behind the beach and is suitable for wheelchairs, buggies, walkers and runners. There is a parking lot at Old Country Rd which offers access to the widest section of the beach.
Rockaway Beach, Cabrillo Highway and Rockaway Beach Avenue, Pacifica, CA 94044
