Parks & Nature

The only sandy beach in the Seattle area! Especially lively in the summer months, it has stunning views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Peninsula. It's great for people-watching, too. Walk or bicycle on the paved trail next to the beach -- even rent a pedal cab. Alki Avenue is lined with restaurants, coffee shops and bars, so you can always find a place to stop for refreshments.
