Rockaway Beach has 7 miles of pristine sandy beach. This old-fashioned little beach town offers lodging, dining, shopping and an abundance of recreational activities. It is nestled between the Coast Mountain Range and Pacific Ocean, west of Portland on scenic Highway 101. Located in the center of town is a large parking area known as the Wayside. This area includes pocket parks, benches, picnic tables and playground equipment while serving as a tourist destination spot, gathering place and hub for local events. In the center of the Wayside lies the main focal point–a beautiful beach-themed mosaic encircled by personalized, commemorative bricks. Hop the Oregon Coast Railroad and take a ride along the coast to Garibaldi for a bite to eat.

Rockaway Beach provides plenty of activities for the whole family, such as beachcombing, clamming, shopping, kite flying, hiking and much more.
