Alki Beach
Alki Beach Park
A sandy beach promenade in West Seattle, where the first white settlers landed in 1851. Look across the water at the downtown skyline and the sunset.
Alki Beach Park is on the West Seattle peninsula. Its roughly 4-km seaside promenade is ideal for walking and cycling. It marks where the Denny Party of pioneers landed in 1851, and a monument and a small replica of the Statue of Liberty stand here. The north shore looks across Elliott Bay to the downtown skyline, and to the west the Olympic Mountains frame the sunset. Along the street are fish and chips and seaside restaurants. Admission is free. It is recommended to take the West Seattle Water Taxi (about 15 minutes) from Pier 52 to Seacrest Dock, then walk or bike along the shore.
