Alki Beach Park
Alki Beach has an entirely different feel from the rest of Seattle; this 2-mile stretch of sandy beach could almost fool you into thinking it’s California, at least on a sunny day. There’s a bike path, volleyball courts on the sand, and rings for beach fires. Look for the miniature Statue of Liberty, donated by the Boy Scouts. A pylon marking Arthur Denny’s landing party’s first stop in 1851 now contains a shard of Massachusetts’ Plymouth Rock in its base.

Golden Gardens Park
Golden Gardens Park, established in 1904 by Harry W Treat, is a lovely 95-acre beach park with sandy beaches north of Shilshole Bay Marina. There are picnic facilities, restrooms, basketball hoops, volleyball nets, gangs of Canadian geese, lots of parking and plenty of space to get away from all the activity. Rising above Golden Gardens is Sunset Hill Park, a prime perch for dramatic sunsets and long views.
