The Roaring Twenties

In Rockaway Beach

Whispers of yesterday

Roaring Twenties

It was the Roaring Twenties, and crowds flocked to Rockaway for a seaside resort

entertainment… big bands, dance pavilions, bathing beauties, pool halls, and card

rooms flourished.



Two early accounts shared in Memories Magazine describe the energy of the day, firstly by Norman Johnson.

  • Large crowd gathered on a sandy beach. Ocean visible in the background.
