Picture a perfect summer day, and chances are your thoughts will take you to Alki Beach Park, a long beach strip that runs from Alki Point to Duwamish Head on Elliott Bay. It's a great spot for a 2.5 mile walk any time of year, and in the summer draws joggers, rollerbladers, volleyball players, beachcombers, sunbathers, bicyclists and strollers out to enjoy the sun.
The widened path accommodates a lot of folks, and there's plenty of parking along Alki Ave. SW. There are picnic tables, a bathhouse housing an art studio, and a restroom at the south (Alki Point) end of the beach, and there you'll find the monument to the arrival of the first white settlers on November 13, 1851.
Alki has it all -- high end dining, pizza slices, ice cream cones and Cactus (a personal favorite). I get my oil changed at Alki Auto and spend the time walking the beach (it's perfecto).

Alki, mainly due to its accessability has to be my favorite. Find something for everyone here.

Love to sit on the edge of the water holding hands with my lover boy as we watch the sun set

Grew up in West Seattle and watched many a gorgeous sunset from Alki!
