Seattle | Sun, Sand, Music & Delicious Eats at Alki Beach 🏖️🎶🍴

Summer in Seattle isn’t complete without a trip to Alki Beach! Sandy shores, stunning views, live music, and mouthwatering food—this place has it all. Gaze at the city skyline and the Space Needle from the waterfront, or rent a bike 🚲 (even a fun surrey!) and cruise along the scenic path. Every year, the Alki Art Fair brings the beach to life with local artists selling handmade treasures—think gorgeous necklaces, earrings, and unique crafts. 🎨✨ Sitting on the warm sand, soaking up the sun, and listening to the waves… Life doesn’t get much better than this. ☀️🌊 📍 How to Get There: Navigate to Alki Beach Park —free street parking is available in the nearby neighborhood. Then, take a short stroll to the shore! 🚶‍♂️ Must-See Spots: 1️⃣ Statue of Liberty Plaza - Seattle 🗽 A charming mini-replica of the iconic Lady Liberty, perfect for a quick photo op! 2️⃣ Alki Playground and Whale Tail Park 🐳🚢 A nautical-themed play area (a bit dated but fun!). While there’s a sandpit, the real sandy fun is at the beach—softer and way more spacious! 👶 3️⃣ Harry’s Beach House 🦞 Must-try dishes: Crispy Pacific Calamari, Steamed Mussels, and creamy Clam Chowder! 🍽️ Pro tip: Reserve online —we waited 20 mins without one! 💡 Pro Tips for the Best Day: * SUNSCREEN, SUNSCREEN, SUNSCREEN! 🧴☀️ The coastal UV rays are no joke—hats, SPF, and kids’ sun shirts are a must (unless you want tiny lobsters running around! 🦞😂). * Safe & Fun Splashing! 🌊 The shallow waters are calm and perfect for wading (check tides—low tide = more beach to explore!). If the water’s warm, let the kids chase waves! Bring water shoes and a change of clothes. 👟👕 * Golden Hour = Magic Hour! 📸 The beach is an insta-worthy backdrop any time, but sunset? Pure romance. 🌇❤️ #SeattleLife #SeattleBeaches #WeekendVibes #PudgetSound #FamilyFun #BeachDay #SunsetLovers #ExploreWashington
