Fave seafood spot right in Rockaway Beach!
A quick 15 minute drive from Rockaway - good Detroit style pizza, amazing meatballs and salad, and good beer!
A quick 8 minute drive away from Rockaway - great bistro on a pretty dock!
A 25 minute drive from Rockaway - the town of Manzanita is worth the drive. Visit wine bars, Offshore Grill, and take a walk on the beach.
Great stopping off point before you get into Rockaway. Do a quick tour of the Tillamook creamery and get free samples of cheese!
One mile on a boardwalk to see an old growth cedar tree. Worth it!
Check out the famous OR waterfalls - quick drive from Portland and easy access for everyone with great views. Take the Historic Columbia River HWY instead of the interstate.
Right in our neighborhood -- a great park with great views of the city skyline!
Quick way to get a great view of Mt Hood and other mountains, very pretty scenery with a lot of trailheads nearby to explore Forest Park area.
A tourist attraction that's worth it - get there early if it's a nice weather day!
One of our fave spots in town - it's an old schoolhouse turned into a hotel with several bars and a hot springs pool! If you are coming into Portland before the weekend, we suggest staying here!
Fun cash only bar with a quirky vibe!
We love this bar - creepy clowns everywhere!
Voodoo has nothing on Pips! All the Portlanders know that Pips is the best donut spot in town!
Support our neighbors! This is a very cute bodega/convenience store across the street from us. We love the owner and would love you to support them as well - get your beer, wine, and snack foods here for your roadtrip to Rockaway!
Right across the street from our place - awesome Greek food with the cutest family that runs it. Can't go wrong with the flaming cheese, hummus, gyros, or orzo!
Awesome pork buns and XLBs, and right on the water with pretty views!
Good pizza by the slice options and in a fun neighborhood
On the 30th floor of the iconic "Big Pink" building downtown! Great views of the city and surrounding area. Best happy hour in town from 4-6 - get some drinks and some good apps!
Amazing unique pizza options, great salads, and the best foccacia! Get there early, there's usually a wait. While you wait, walk over to Prost! or the Rambler for a drink!
One of the busiest food pods in Portland. Indoor/outdoor seating with a German bar and multiple food carts. We suggest Matt's BBQ - it sells out quick, though!
One of our favorite elevated Chinese restaurants just a few minutes from our place!
