About Rockaway Beach in Pacifica: Rockaway Beach is a narrow gently curving stretch of strand anchored by high coastal bluffs at either end with rock embankments along the shoreline to prevent further erosion. Its crashing surf, trail amenities, sunsets and dramatic headlands make it a beloved destination for locals and visitors alike.
Site Captains: Llana, Nicole, Sara and Vilka
About the Cleanup: Time: From 9am-11am. Only super heavy torrential rain may cancel cleanup. Where to meet: At the corner of the North Beach parking lot, near the Best Western. Parking: Free parking lots are located at either end of the beach. Cleanup Areas: Beach, trail and parking lots. Supplies: Volunteers are encouraged to bring their own buckets and reusable gloves. Extra gloves, buckets, pickup sticks and specific tools for this site cleanup will be provided while supplies last.
