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.
Sand to play in, treasures to hunt, food to eat, coffee to drink.....view of downtown, firepits, playground, everything you want or need is right there! And sometimes, the sun shines!

I'm lucky to wake up to this beach every morning! It's vibrant, fun and I never want to leave.

So many wonderful beaches around the NW, but Alki Beach will always and forever be my favorite. Spectacular views of Seattle with ferry boats traveling across the waters. Fish and Chips can be brought down to the water's edge and you can count on many Seagulls hopping around with hopes of getting a treat.
