Often mistaken for Belle Harbor (a more uptown division of the peninsula,) Rockaway Beach is a neighborhood that revolves around beach life. Rockaway is located in Queens, New York and is has lots of of Irish families living there. During the winter, kids are sledding on hills and playing in the snow but when it gets too cold we're just chilling at each other's houses. During the summer everyone's at the beach and at parties and having the time of our lives. There's lots of businesses, from pizza places to surf shops to tattoo parlors. Kids usually form their own close group of friends and the parents are friends too. After you pass 116th street it's basically Belle Harbor, where it's a bit of a safer area and the kids get a bit meaner to outsiders. The common surfing spot is 90th street, and it's very localized, so if you're new to the beach it's best to gradually earn your spot in the lineup. Things are stolen sometimes and people can be shady but if you stay with your friends and are careful you'll be fine. I've lived in Rockaway my whole life and I never want to leave, and I'm so happy with my life there. The rockaway kids all surf and love each other more than anything and are always together whether it's on the beach or not. Uptown in belle harbor, kids aren't as into surfing and generally aren't as good. Rockaway is all-around the best place to be but was hit hard by Hurricane Sandy. We will rebuild and be better than ever!

Person 2: "Is that the place the ramones made a song about?"
Person 1: "Yeah! It's awesome!"
Person 2: "Let's go!"

Get the Rockaway Beach mug.When a wayward OS X application freezes up and the spinning rainbow beach ball appears in lieu of your mouse cursor. A vast improvement over OS 9 app crashes, which would bring down your whole system, although still annoying.

Get the Brighton Beach mug.A city in Orange County, California; home to most of the rich, conservative jerks that make up Orange County's power base and shadow government. The cosmetic surgery capital of Orange County and white collar crime capital of the United States. The typical Newport Beach resident is a Rabid Republican with Money (the most damaging kind) and wishes that Ronnie Reagan was still President. Like many of the rich and entitled, residents live by the credo "Do as I say and not as I do." To fill the empty void in their lives, the women spend their days in the vapid pursuit of material goods and bigger and better boobs; the men spend their days snorting coke, screwing their wives' girlfriends, and practicing crony capitalism; and the children spend their days smoking pot, surfing, and hating their parents (who they will of course grow up to emulate).
The city, on behalf of and with generous assistance from its wealthy residents, tried to engineer the building of a huge, noisy, and polluting international airport at the abandoned El Toro Marine Base adjacent to neighboring Irvine. These Bush Pioneers/Assholes claimed that the unnecessary airport dangerously close to the Santa Ana mountain range was "sorely needed" and would create "thousands of jobs"; in actuality they believed that jets should fly over Irvine's middle class homes and not their own. As part of the scheme the recently remodeled, taxpayer-financed airport next to Newport would have been converted into a small craft facility to be used primarily by themselves. However, Orange County voters refused to be hoodwinked or allow their property values to be undermined and the airport was resoundingly defeated, and the base zoned for parkland and annexed by the city of Irvine.
Thanks to putrid TV program "The O.C.," half of America thinks that all of Orange County is like Newport Beach (the other half think it is like the putrid "Laguna Beach"). This misconception serves as a wellspring of rage and shame to Orange County's more literal-minded residents.

The residents of Newport Beach tried to make airplanes fly over my house, and for that I will always despise them.
"The O.C." is only accurate to the extent that it represents people from Newport Beach.
