Alki Beach is an OK beach. There is nothing much to do here. We just strolled the beach and grabbed lunch in one resto there, then went back to Seattle. You need to check the water taxi schedule. If you miss by one minute, it means you have to wait for another 29 or even 59 minutes before you go... more

When you get tired of the rush of Seattle, just a short distance, and another world, away is Alki Beach. Winding it's way through flowers is a concrete path, which wraps around an old boathouse-turned-artist studio and continues along the rocky beach, past a mini Statue of Liberty. The beach can get crowded with locals on the weekend, but there's... more

We took the water taxi over from Pier 55 ($3 each way per person). It is a very nice view and great at night. There are a few restaurants right on the beach but getting to the main restaurant strip is pretty difficult to get to on foot. When we were getting off the water taxi there were two Seattle... more

This is one of the best views of Seattle. The best time to go is at night and you can see the beautiful lights, sit on the beach, and enjoy a nice night with someone special. more

The area around Alki Beach is a wonderful spot to capture some images of downtown seattle, check out my pictures I took during the day - they came out so good I went back at night. more

Very nice beach, a favorite of locals and has good restaurants both just off the beach and in nearby neighborhoods. Can get very crowded during special events--for example its a local hotspot for July 4 but you should get there in the morning and prepare to camp to see the fireworks! more

Alki Beach is one of the best secrets of Seattle. Lots of locals know the area but not many tourists. There are tons of shops and miles of beach. All have magnificant views of downtown Seattle. There is one slight downside to getting there. In order to get to Alki from downtown Seattle, you must ride the West Seattle Freeway,... more

IF you are on a visit to seattle I would highly reccomend that you spend your lunch time here at Alki beach. Take the water taxi over to Alki beach. It costs 3 dollars to ride over. Once you get there go to the Alki Crab and Fish which is located at the dock the water taxi docks at. The... more
