Best place to stop on your way to the Bungalow for groceries and supplies. This is a one stop shop! Rockaway has small markets but no large grocery stores.

Great spot for lunch. In the warmer month you can sit outside and walk down what used to be an old fishing pier.

Uppercrust pizza is a 3 minute walk north on the 101. Inside is also a great little cocktail bar- Littoral bar. The pizza is great! Go early though. It can get really busy and the wait can get long. Outdoor and indoor seating available, but your best bet is to pick up and eat at home unless you want to enjoy an adult beverage in the bar but it’s adults only.

Rockaway Beach is often noted by its unique rock formation. Twin rocks is a beautiful rock formation about a quarter mile off the shore. It is cooled lava from an old eruption thousands of years ago(?) the waves slowly carved away at it making the unique hole in one of the rocks. From the North looking down at the rocks it looks like a sleeping dragon. The best access is Washington Street, just south of downtown Rockaway.

“Tunnel beach” is located in Oceanside Oregon. Oceanside is just 30 minutes south of Rockaway. You go through Tillamook West toward the Ocean. The beach is lovely and usually low wind. One side is sandy and dry then you pass though the rough and dark tunnel to come out the other side that is rocky with usually big loud crashing waves. The beach is also known as a great place to find Agates! Bring a bucket for your treasures :)

The train stops just two blocks from our house. It’s a fun family friendly activity that sure to create memories for everyone. The train travels from Rockaway south to Garibaldi and back. Spring 2023 the railroad is offering longer rides! The historic steam engine is crowd favorite.
