Rockaway Beach, Coastal resort town in Tillamook County, United States.
The Pacific waves meet seven miles of sandy shoreline along Oregon's northern coast, where families gather to explore tide pools and collect seashells.
Before its incorporation in 1943, the area served as a crucial trading post for indigenous tribes and later became a stop on the Pacific Railway line.
Local summer festivals feature traditional clam-digging demonstrations, beach volleyball tournaments, and performances by Pacific Northwest musicians throughout the season.
Visitors find convenient beach access points every few blocks along Pacific Avenue, with free parking spaces and restroom facilities near the main entrance.
The Twin Rocks formation, rising 100 feet above the water just offshore, creates distinct silhouettes during sunsets and serves as a natural landmark.
