In Short
You don't have to trek miles down a desolate beach to experience the appeal of this 37-foot lighthouse. Built in 1913, the operating US Coast Guard facility is conveniently right off the main drag of Alki Avenue. A 30-minute tour (weekends and most holidays from noon to 3:30pm; Wednesdays by appointment) features artifacts and photos that tell the tale of Alki Point.
