Discover Rockaway Beach

Rockaway Beach lies in a gently curving embayment with a scenic overlook. Nick’s Seafood Restaurant is the oldest place on the strip, and many of the newer shops date from the city’s 1986 redevelopment plan. (Wikipedia)

Limestone from the quarry whitewashed the San Francisco Presidio from 1776 and, from 1907, went into the Ocean Shore Railroad’s roadbed and the rebuilding of San Francisco. The quarry closed in 1987. (Wikipedia)

On the first Sunday of December the Chamber of Commerce holds a tree lighting steps from the ocean, with Santa, pony rides, music and food trucks. (Pacifica Chamber of Commerce)
