Rockaway Beach, Missouri

Your Gateway to the "Tri-Lakes Region"
presented to you by the Rockaway Beach Chamber of Commerce

Rockaway Beach, Missouri, the first "Family Resort Community" west of the Mississippi River, was founded in 1917. Our small friendly lakeside town is located in the northern portion of the Ozark Mountains around 10 miles NE of Branson. Some folk have called us the "Gateway to the Tri-Lakes Region" consisting of Tablerock, Taneycomo and Bull Scholls Lakes. With a one and a half mile shoreline stretching along the southern shore of Lake Taneycomo, fishing folk appreciate its rating as one of the top Rainbow and German Brown Trout fishing Lakes in America.

Many vacationers past and present have visited us to enjoy the beauty and tranquility of our town along with its great fishing and boating opportunities. For a slightly faster pace you can take in a Show, shop or spend a day at Silver Dollar City with the kids around the Branson area. Legend has it that years ago Al Capone vacationed in Rockaway Beach during his heyday. You can see his alleged hideaway across the Lake from downtown Rockaway.

Rockaway is peppered with Restaurants, Marinas, Shops, and Lodging Facilities giving you a true taste of the Ozarks without bustin your wallet. Most exciting is our quaint sandy lakefront beach allowing for some "Hillbilly Fun in the Sun". Next to the Beach is a newly renovated causeway, fishing island and pier with free access. Fishing license and trout tags are required so check out the Missouri Department of Conservation site for more information.

Throughout the year the folks of Rockaway Beach host many family events with down home country hospitality. Larger events include the Fourth of July Celebration, Hydroplane Races and the Rods and Relics Classic Car Show. Check the Special Events page for all our upcoming events this year.

Rockaway Beach has 44 acres of park land for your use too. This could be ideal for larger Family Reunions, Festivals or even Motor club Rallies. Call or e-mail the Rockaway Beach Chamber of Commerce for additional information on hosting a larger event in Rockaway Beach.

The friendly folk of Rockaway Beach and the Chamber of Commerce Businesses invite you for a relaxing family stay in our town while vacationing in the Tri-Lakes Region.
