Was introduced to this place solely because of its view . Went here the second day arriving in Washington. Kayaking and you can even rent bikes and ride around with your family or friends.

Eric Olson

Great spot to grab a bite and sit on the steps watching the waves, the sunset , the boats and ferries going by and the beach volleyball games. Get there and enjoy the sand!

Josh Truax

It is a nice place to get away with your thoughts during the day but come nightfall (especially on a weekend night) there's quite a night life scene as well . ???????????????????? ????

Candice Rivera

I love a good night walk especially since the beach offers a gorgeous view of the Seattle skyline. So if you want to capture some amazing night skylines, bring your camera ! It’s about a 2.5 mile path. Read more

I love Alki Beach in West Seattle!!! I used to live right directly across from the beach and it was awesome!!! I used to work at Spud’s Fish N’ Chips , which you HAVE to try! & Great people watching !

Josh Holland

Similar in feel to most beach towns , Alki offers a quick escape from the hustle and bustle of Seattle's urban core. During summer time the area is filled with beachgoers enjoying the sun and views .

Seattle's iconic beach . There are plenty of restaurants down the strip, for every taste bud. Parking can be hard be difficult at times, but it is well worth the views !

Get there early and try to grab a spot near 59th. You'll get a great view if the space needle and be near the restrooms !

Awesome spot to spend a sunny day. Volleyball during the day and bonfires at night. Bring some food and drinks and you're set.

Perfect on a sunny day in Seattle! Take Beach Drive, walk the beach , roller skate , bike , or build a bonfire and sit around with friends. Spud Fish & Chips is the best! Read more

HISTORY

This two-and-a-half-mile strip of sandy beach is one of the most popular beaches in the area, and it was also where Seattle's first non-Native American settlers spent their first winter.

Park your car at Constellation Park and walk to the business district. Never ever get involved in driving your car down the main drag.

If you have to sleep here, sleep in the pavilion south of the BathHouse, it works perfectly!
