Originated in the 1920's by the Rockaway Beach Company as a summer vacation spot for Portlanders, Rockaway Beach now plays that role for visitors from around the country.
A community of 1,200 year-round residents, the small coastal town is the center of activity for north Tillamook County, and has seven miles of white sandy beach and windswept dunes accessible from the city wayside in the center of town. Twin Rocks, located one mile south of Rockaway on US Hwy 101, was named for two large sea stacks more than 100 feet high in the Pacific Ocean just beyond low tide line. An excursion train runs seasonally between Rockaway Beach and Garibaldi.
