Alki Beach in
West Seattle
 The
two and a half miles of beach access is popular with teenagers and families in
summer. A narrow park with paved paths for inline skaters, cyclists,
runners and walkers, follows the shoreline. Views of Puget Sound,
the Olympic Mountains, Queen Anne Hill, Magnolia and
downtown Seattle.
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 (Beach) in West Seattle is best known for its salty, sandy beach, narrow
streets, newly constructed condominiums mixed with quaint houses, some with
breathtaking views of the Seattle skyline. The area has become one of Seattle's
hottest condominium markets.
The community has very few private docks but Harbor Island Marina and South
Park Marina on the Duwamish River are convenient for moorage. Alki is an easy
commute to downtown Seattle and
SeaTac Airport.
The water temperature ranges from 46 to 56 degrees Fahrenheit.
The north end of the beach is protected by a bulkhead, and flanked by cottages.
The whole beach offers spectacular views of Puget Sound, the Olympic Mountains,
and the flotilla of ferries, sailboats, steamships and other craft that ply
Puget Sound waters.
From I-5 northbound or southbound or from State Road 99 (Aurora Avenue):
- take the West Seattle Bridge to West Seattle
