"Came during kite festival. Wonderful display of kites. Nice tourist gift shops."

"Took the Garibaldi Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad 30 minute little train ride trip to Rockaway Beach OR, got off the train for 30 minutes, grabbed a snack and drink before getting back on the train, and then took a 30 minute train ride back to Garibaldi back to my car, then headed to the Tillamook Creamery 10 minutes south from the scenic railroad. Also you purchase the tickets from the last train car and they do a 10% military discount. Plus they have a handicap lift at the Garibaldi station, so people with walkers and wheelchairs can board the train. However, those handicap people won't be able to get off the train at the Rockaway Beach location because they don't have a handicap lift device at that location, so those people have to stay on the train. Also, to get the handicap people on the train your going to need to arrive 30 minutes prior to departure, so the train conductor have time to get them aboard!"

"100% recommend, an excellent beach experience. Fantastic sunset! Restrooms. Ample parking. Benches. Warm sand. The friendliest squirrels I've ever seen. Home- style relaxing little town atmosphere. Just a beautiful place all the way around."

"Great spot for sandy beach, decent food options and clean bathroom. When the tide is out, there's a small spot to do skim boarding as well. Nice train tour option locally that goes through as well. Not overly busy in mid July when weather could be hotter, but was still very pleasant"

"Really cool beach to stay for a while. It is very clean and easy to access. Make sure you bring a cooler with plenty of water and snacks as the closest store/restaurant charges $4 for a small bottle of water."
