Gorgeous little beach. There is a small hike to the south side cliff and the north side cliff which offers gorgeous views. Sand is dark colored. Beautiful area at sunset. There is a restaurant Nick's that offers ocean view dining and has live music and dancing Friday and Saturday nights.

Order lunch at Nicks and enjoy the view of the ocean from your parked car. Hubby and I come here often when I’m looking for a break from the busy Bay Area. Love it here

It's a cute little beach with cliffs, parking, restaurants, and shops. The air is cold and fresh, so i recommend going on a sunny day. It's clean too and remember to pick up after yourselves!

The best beach in the Northern California Bay Area region, bar none.

Great view as you can see it

Amazing waves, great views

Rockaway beach at Pacifica is a relatively small beach comparing with Linda Mar beach in the south and Sharp park beach in the north. It is a popular place to visit with many restaurant and shopping venues, and is popular for surfers.

The seascape was beautiful.

A lovely beach with easy parking and bathroom access. Tends to be cooler and breezy so pay attention to the forecast before going.

Relaxing place

Awesome beach with plenty of trails and views for days. Eat at Nick's or any of the many local restaurants. Very picturesque 👌🏾

I was able to enjoy the water, sand and waves. Love the place so much♥️♥️♥️

Cold, windy and looking very dangerous. Yay! Beach!

Grabbed some Starbucks from down the road and just hung out listening to the ocean waves.

Hidden gems! Definitely add this to your itinerary on your SF trip if you have extra time.

Great views of the Pacific Ocean. Lots of people fishing, hiking or just enjoying a day at the beach.

Great beach at a minus low ride

One of my favorite beaches. Walking trails, hiking, restaurants and trendy shops

Nice small beach with cool wind blowing into the parking lot. Lots of parking despite the lot being next to a motel and a restaurant.

Unique beach area. *****

Rockaway beach and Pacifica are absolutely my favorite places I have visited. I have visited Miami, L.A, Hollywood, and Fort brag but at the end Rockaway and Pacifca still beats everything else. It is absolutely beautiful place to visit. The people! Oh my...the people where are so nice. They even have a taco belll is on the beach! How amazing is that??? Just being there I literally felt so peaceful.

Had Brunch at Nick's On Rockaway Beah5, I give it 5 ☆☆☆☆☆ Stars. The view was absolutely breathing! !!

Beautiful setting

Rock, Rock, Rock (slight pause) Rockaway Beach ... by the Ramones ... back in deee Day! ?

Clean water. Beautiful place. Not crowded.

Took my grandson. A little crowded but we enjoyed it.

Good beginer surfing spot

Beautiful views of a rugged Ocean shore line and wonderful weather

Loved watching the waves, and there are all kinds of neat shops to wander through. And I found some neat photographic treasures.

Nice view, and much less people comparing with half-moon bay.

There's a good public rest room building, which understandably attracts the homeless, but they don't bother anybody other than requesting spare change.

So beautiful here

Beautiful dark sand beach. Great for mildly expressing your sense of adventure.

Love this place quite Sandy just perfect

A fun place to enjoy the beautiful beach.

Parking lot is never crowded during any of our visits and the restrooms are always in useable condition. I love that this location offers a dog-friendly beach and hiking trail. We always see many friendly people during our walks and my pup enjoys greeting everyone. The trail is clean and well kept and we love visiting the beach too.
