So much to do here at Alki Beach, but don’t let the name fool you, this is not your typical swimming in bikini kind of beach. Can be breezing & a bit chilly almost any day of the year. This is a favorite spot of ours for finding sea glass, strolling along the water & just taking in the mountains & nature around us. During low tide it is fun to walk out to explore creatures & unique views of the city Lots of restaurants to explore & good eats, my favorite burger is at the locally owned shop, Pepperdock & grab an ice cold cider at Locust Cider just down the way. Perfect on a summer day.
This is where our engaygment journey began, stop by to check out the gorgeous views of Seattle & enjoy what nature has to offer. A great spot for a picnic or walking through moderate hills with lots to see.
You can order online too - if you're interested in an alcoholic beverage there's a bar around the corner to your right as you enter Marination ma kai. There's outdoor seating too, we'd recommend bringing a hat just in case the sunshine is out. It can get really hot on the patio, there are a few umbrellas outside but not enough to find relief from the sunshine if it's too intense.
Walk on this 10-minute ferry to downtown where you can explore iconic Seattle & beyond. Go to the Pinball museum, get dumplings in International District, be in community at Seattle Center, and go to a Storm game of course. "Explore two very different parts of the same city. Water Taxi sails between downtown and West Seattle last an average of 10-15 minutes each way. Easily connect to the waterfront pathway and accessible shuttles to Alki Beach Park." - Water Taxi Website

Step 1: Find Betty - her cart is red and reads 'Deez Dogs' she's fabulous! Kind, chill, funny, and most importantly chef's up a delicious Seattle Dog. You can even add bbq for a little twist to the original dog. Don't sleep on Betty - your tastebuds will thank you.
