Rockaway Beach Bazaar

Beyond the food and music, this boardwalk stretch is a practical launchpad for a beach day, offering chair and umbrella rentals, surf schools, and mini golf. When the weather cools, the 97th Pavilion transitions into an off-season venue for weddings and private events with food and drink packages from local vendors. It is a social, easy-going spot to settle in, though keep in mind that beachside convenience comes with slightly higher prices and fairly basic public restrooms.
