What People Are Saying About Alki Beach
Featured Review

In Short – There are more than two miles of beach access and spectacular views of the Olympic Mountains and islands in Puget Sound. Skaters, runners and cyclists roam the wide path that runs the length of the park, while picnickers dine near a replica of the Statue of Liberty, which also features volleyball facilities. Legend has it that pronunciation of the park's name, originally "al-key" (Chinook for "by and by") changed to "alk-eye" during Prohibition.
Editor's Tips
- The Extras:
- Grab a pastry and latte at the Alki Bakery or sit down for a good meal with a great view of downtown Seattle at Salty's.

Alki is a good beach
by kee22 at Citysearch
Alki is a great Seattle beach. To me, alki has one of the best views of seattle. The view is even better at night when you are sitting at a bonfire and looking at the city and the stars. Also, it's a great place to watch the fireworks on the 4th..but it gets pretty crowded because everyone likes going here to watch the fireworks.
- Pros: Great beach, good place to watch the city and fireworks

Alki (By and By)

Check out Seattles on Statue of Liberty! Gorgeous beach, with breathtaking views of Seattle skyline, mountains, and Bainbridge Island. Sandy beaches are ideal for castle building, walking, or volleyball. Bonfires at night. Sidwalk all along to walk/bike/rollerblade. In summer, crowds are expected, and parking not so ample. Reseraunts in the area are so-so, or so has been my experience. Facilities are undergoing renovation this year (2004) so only bathrooms are porta potties.
- Pros: Sandy Beach, Views, Large Beach
- Cons: , Parking

Alki is great!
by purrfecttigr at Citysearch
Alki is great for everyone. When it is nice everyone is out there. Parking can be a pain when people gawk instead of drive. The views of the city are wonderful and sunsets are amazing.
- Pros: View, People, sports
- Cons: Parking on sunny days, People

See ALL of Seattle!

i LOVE Alki! Here on Alki, I could see SOO many views of the city! There's also great restaurants on the beachfront, so a PLUS for dining as well! I didn't know the beach was off-limits after 2 AM. If you just want to look at starts, this is a great spot for that as well. The beach isn't even really dirty, and like i said, NO MATTER WHERE YOU GO, you've got a great view of stars and Seattle all in ONE SPOT! Whether day or night, you'll love this beach!
- Pros: GREAT VIEW

fun place to hang out!

Alki is goergous! You can lay out on the beach, play vollyball (or watch the half-naked hot guys play), and then go eat at one of the many places surrounding the beach. I like happy hour at Duke's. They have really good drinks and awesome food, all at half off from 3-6pm. I just went to the music festival they had and it was a lot of fun, just sitting in the sun listening to up and coming bands do there thing.
