Seacrest Park

A can’t miss spot by Alki, but they just put up some no parking signs (enforced?) that designate most spot for boats/​trailers. Not sure about the thinking about doing so – I would much prefer first-​come, first served – and we’ll have to see how this plays out this summer when the crowds come.
Highly recommend for a summer stroll at sunset.

Spectacular view of Seattle from Alki Beach… If your cruising the beach and wanna chill for the moment stop and grab a breath taking view of the city and Puget Sound. Maybe your see some wild life or someone catching a fish.
Morning, noon or night is always a good time to stop and smell the roses or make out with your special friend.

Amazing unobstructed view of the Seattle skyline! Parking lot was spacious (at least when I went at 8pm on Saturday in May). It was a bit breezy and cold but I was able to park the car in a spot that directly faced the skyline and enjoyed waiting for the sunset :)
The park isn’t big but does have a decent grassy area and a cute ‘couples’ tree (two isolated trees growing next to each other). There is also a dock for launching boat so that was cool to watch. Overall, this is definitely a spot worth checking out if you don’t mind driving out to west Seattle :)

Some days, I end up wandering around aimlessly. On one such day, I just got done eating at Marination Ma Kai. My family had abandoned me in favor of geocaching (I guess there was something hidden nearby).
I spent the time walking on the dock, which was scattered with people fishing and grabbing shots of the Seattle skyline.
The King County Water Taxi drops off on the dock. That keeps a steady flow of people coming by.
There is a parking lot but good luck finding a spot. People are often parked in the KC Water Taxi spot. Luckily, there is street parking but during peak periods you may be walking awhile to get here.
A few picnic tables are available and I notice that people tend to claim them for long periods of time.
A few coves are available where people enter with paddle boards and a variety of other water toys.
My gut was to give this park 3 stars because of the size, parking, and lack of typical amenities in other parks. That being said, it’s hard to deny the power of such a beautiful view so 4 stars it is!

Wow did not know this park existed before!
Pretty amazing view of downtown Seattle. Parking is hard to find here. There have a couple of spots for 15 minute parking. All the other parking lots are 2-​hour parking, I think.
They have the marination restaurant right here. I may visit on my next visit here!

Right on the dock where the Fauntleroy Foot Ferry lands, easily identifiable by the hordes of scuba divers there, this can be a litlte easy to miss, but it is THE best view of Seattle in the whole city, in my humble but accurate opinion. I love the rustic look of the dock (great for photos!) and there is a lovely little running path that goes along the stretch of Alki. Its away from the bustle of the beach area, but there are a couple of little beach coves you can go walk around on. There are (not great) public rest rooms available, but bring hand sanitizer! I love this spot and go here often, and will continue to, its perfect.

One of the best views of downtown Seattle you’ll ever get. And won’t cost ya a fortune in food or drink at Salty’s just down the way (not that Salty’s is bad, just why not have a great view of the city skyline for FREE?).

One of my favorite parks in Seattle, if you’re into SCUBA this is the place to be! There are 3 «coves» in this park, cove 2 (the main beach closest to the parking lot) is the most interesting with remnants of an old marina, remains of an old sailboat, and if you head out a little deeper you can find the «I-​Beams».
In the summer months they even have an out-​door shower for washing your gear after the dive.
If you want to keep it «above water» there is a great little café right on the peer, crab some fish and chips and take in the sights!

My sister was right! Seacrest Park has a better view of Seattle Downtown! It’s not big! But, you can walk towards to the water a little bit. I wish it was bright enough when I was there last night. Therefore, I could have captured a better picture on my phone.
I’d definitely mark here as a MUST-​VISIT spot for my friends and family and a romantic spot for dates!

The dock for the Water Taxi to downtown is here. This place has bathrooms, a great little café, bait shop, parking if your there early, and off street parking, a plenty. There is bike rentals and kayak as well.
This is probably the best view of Seattle you will ever see on the ground.

Romantic spot on a cool night. Park its not brightly lit at night so its a nice place to snuggle and taking in the breath taking Seattle skyline.
PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM TRASH CAN. IT’S INFESTED WITH RATS.
