Rockaway Beach is a shoreline area of the Pacific Ocean in the southern portion of Pacifica, California, United States, approximately 7 miles (11 km) south of the city of San Francisco. It is located within a gently curving embayment with direct access via Rockaway Beach Avenue and providing easy access to Highway 1.
The beach itself is a popular place to visit with many restaurant and shopping venues although erosion has decreased its size over the years. It is noted for its scenic overlook, and is one of the cleanest in the San Francisco Bay Area.
"After a visit to the beach, it is hard to believe that we live in a material world"---Pam Shaw.
Loved watching the waves, and there are all kinds of neat shops to wander through. And I found some neat photographic treasures.
Beautiful Coastal area outside of San Francisco. Rockaway Beach. Located in Pacifica , CA delivers beautiful waves, plenty of adventure for families and a Taco Bell Cantina. Black sand beach. Awesome hiking. At low tide the beach offers great tide pools at the far right of Rockaway Beach, Pacifica. Must see.
