Rockaway Beach is a shoreline area of the Pacific Ocean in the southern portion of Pacifica, California, United States, approximately 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.

  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.
