Place to see: Rockaway Beach, Pacifica, California, United States

About this place:

This beautiful beach is well known by locals but if you didn't know it was there you would drive right past it. Just West of Highway 1 at Fassler Avenue in Pacifica California you will find ocean front hotels, dinning, numerous shops and a visitor center. For the outdoor enthusiast, there is surfing and several hiking trails with spectacular cliff views of the Pacific Ocean and surrounding hills. If you are lucky enough to find yourself at Rockaway Beach on Wednesday afternoons, there is a farmer's market with fresh produce from local certified organic farmers.
