Rockaway Beach has both a small town vibe with homey, independent restaurants and stores, and some condo/commercial rental properties, but isn't overly touristy. There are nearby places to hike in addition to the beach. The railroad ride gives you a bit of local history.

Rockaway Beach used to be a great place to go on the Oregon coast - not so much anymore. It's gotten so crowded, and just wasn't as enjoyable as in the past. No very good place to eat in Rockaway. Preferred Nehalem..

Rockaway Beach is one of my favorite Oregon beaches.
Rockaway Beach is one of my favorite Oregon beaches. The Twin Rocks is a must-see attraction. I love walking on the beach, listening to the waves crashing, and watching the seagulls and other birds. Locals and some visitors walk their dogs on the beach. It is a relaxing beach that is not too crowded. Sunsets during the Spring and Summer can be phenomenal. There are lots of places to eat in the area and fun things to do. We love taking the train rides. One goes to South to Garibaldi, and one goes North to Wheeler.

We go here once or twice a year, regardless of the weather.
We go here once or twice a year, regardless of the weather. Always enjoy being here, walking the beach and watching the waves. An obligatory side trip to Tillamook cheese to pick up some bags of curds. And at least one breakfast at Grumpy's.

We loved Rockaway.
We loved Rockaway. Quiet, uncrowded, great beach for walking. Not a "beachcombing beach" but lovely. Sweet little town with 2 small grocery stores that open early and close late...which helped our large family stay in groceries and a few things we forgot! Some great local cafes! The view from The Sand Dollar can't be beat ~ great food. Also a few interesting and unique gift and food shops. It was a relief not to have the typical touristy commercial "beach strip."
Just South of town is the Boardwalk through a gorgeous old growth Western Cedar forest. Beautiful level walk for families, kids, elderly & dogs, with lush forest light, river, and those giant trunks surrounding us.

The beaches are gorgeous with lots of seashell finds!
The beaches are gorgeous with lots of seashell finds! The little town is full of cute shops and little cafes. Flamingo Jim's was our favorite place to stop. It's only a 30 minute drive from Cannon Beach where we had dinner twice in our short week! It's a 20 minute drive into Tillamook for the Ice-cream and cheese factory! Rockaway is a great place for families or couples that just want to fresh air and sand beaches!
The staff was pleasant. Our room was clean and comfortable. We had a mini fridge and microwave, which I did not expect. Cable tv with hbo. It's an older Coastal hotel. It's not high end and the value is amazing! There's easy access to the beach. We would definitely stay again!
It's very quiet at this hotel. We love to be able to see the ocean so close to the building, it was clean and we absolutely love the shower head and all of the complimentary soaps and shampoos!! And big white fluffy towels!!
The location was wonderful.
The room was very big with two queen size beds.
The kitchen was fully equipped with all the necessary tools.
The nearest supermarket is 100 yards from the hotel.
