The Rockaway Hotel

If you haven’t visited Rockaway Beach since those sweltering summer days, now is the perfect time to return. The Rockaway Hotel + Spa, located just one block from the beach, revamped its popular pool area for the winter with three individual cedar barrel saunas, a heated-up pool, and an apres ski-inspired lounge area with teak furniture, sherpa blankets, and food and drink specials. If you book a room at the hotel for a staycation, access to the sauna and Winter Pool House is included. But day passes are available for just $30, and each booking also gets you 10% off at the hotel’s restaurants Margie’s and The Rooftop for refreshments before or after your day of self care.
