Rockaway Beach Custom Search   Finally, beach time has arrived again, and Rockaway Beach in Queens County, New York is exactly the location. With so many beaches in New York you'll not ever get bored. Rockaway Beach is not a tremendously visited segment of coastline, but being on it is pleasant excitement any time. The touching of the water and this segment of coastline is such a gorgeous vista. There are campgrounds quite near the section of coastline where you can set up that camp site. Outdoors     recreation is abundant; some of the amusing stuff you can do are fishing, swimming, golfing, and boating, so becoming bored is not something that is projected to happen. This piece of coastline is a great spot to stop by. Take a tour to nearby Highland Stables and ride a horse; close to Rockaway Beach you bump into G Speed, a nice location to race go-karts. This beach is a wonderful place to visit. In case you want fishing you could always check out Whatta Catch Sport Fishing; if you want to play some golf, you're in luck because Brooklyn Golf Center is close at hand.              Map Detailed Map Weather Local weather forecast These outdoors activities are available near Rockaway Beach.   Other Beaches Near Rockaway Beach: Canarsie Beach, Kings County , 4 miles away Plumb Beach, Kings County , 5 miles away Atlantic Beach, Nassau County , 9 miles away Coney Island Beach, Kings County , 9 miles away East Atlantic Beach, Nassau County , 10 miles away   Marinas Near Rockaway Beach: Smitty's Fishing Station, Far Rockaway , 3 miles away DiMeglio Dan Marinas, Brooklyn , 4 miles away Beach Channel Marina, Arverne , 5 miles away Sea Travelers Marina, Brooklyn , 5 miles away Captain Mike's Marina, Howard Beach , 5 miles away   Hotels Near Rockaway Beach: Comfort Inn & Suites JFK Airport, Ozone Park , 5 miles away Comfort Inn Brooklyn, Brooklyn , 6 miles away Americas Best Value Inn, Brooklyn , 6 miles away Econo Lodge South Ozone Park, Ozone Park , 6 miles away Sheraton JFK Airport Hotel, Jamaica , 6 miles away Hilton Garden Inn Queens/JFK Airport, Jamaica , 6 miles away BEST WESTERN PLUS Brooklyn Bay Hotel, Brooklyn , 6 miles away Doubletree Hotel JFK Airport, Jamaica , 6 miles away Hampton Inn NYJFK, Jamaica , 6 miles away Courtyard New York JFK Airport, Jamaica , 6 miles away   Campgrounds Near Rockaway Beach: Camp Wildwood, New York, 14 miles away Liberty Harbor RV Park, Jersey City, 15 miles away Brookwood Camps, Oceanside, 15 miles away Camp Mesorah, Oceanside, 16 miles away Birchmont A Pierce Camp, Roslyn, 18 miles away   Ski Areas Near Rockaway Beach: Tuxedo Ridge, New York , 44 miles away, 400 foot drop, 4 lifts, 7 runs Mt.
