Parked in the lot- plenty of space at 10:30 am - used Discover Pass on rear view mirror. Walked in a small loop down to the shore, kids loved shells, crabs, oysters, water, moving rocks and logs (to see the crabs). Walked back up with some complaining but it was short enough we could see the parking fence before kiddo gave up. Then we had a snack at the play area, let the kids climb and play, and went back home for lunch. Water was not on at play area yet, much to my 4 yr olds disappointment. Can't wait to come back!

When I visited, there were cyclists, roller skaters, people flying kites, numerous dog-walkers and even a pair out walking their pet goats!? Totally amazing atmosphere. On clear days, there are great views of Seattle and surrounding mountains. On lucky days, you can spot orca whales! Keep an eye out especially during the fall and winter, or if you're particularly committed, there are several social media groups dedicated to posting about whale sightings. You might just want to bring along a pair of binoculars whenever you visit...just in case. There's street parking that's a close stroll to the beach, and one public washroom that I could find.

I haven't been here officially on a truly hot summer beach day in WA. Growing up in southern CA,…read morethe beach vibes were different than here in WA. But today was perfect! It was hot. It was sunny. And there was beach volleyball happening. Vendors setting up to sell fruit cups and horchatas and other crunchy treats. Alki Beach Park is a true beach destination! Public bathrooms, public showers to rinse off sand, and plenty of room to camp out if you want. I came to see the lowest tides on this day. In fact, Alki Beach Park was the first beach I frequented when I first moved to WA. Today's visit was truly magical though. The low tide revealed smaller pools and seaweed. Clambs squirted water out of their exposed holes. I saw a crow get squirted in the face! I am not a sunbather but if you are, this is your spot. I recommend NOT sunbathing, but you do you boo. I do recommend coming here. Great views of downtown Seattle too. Parking goes far along the waterfront. Loads of police were patrolling too. Be careful and enjoy nature! SYOY!

Although you may not be able to get anything close to the beach. There is a nice "boardwalk" to walk or bike along and offers a scenic view. The beach area is a decent size and can accommodate many families but be warned that it is rocky and pebbly. There was a private event happening in a building there. They also had several bathrooms. A cute little cafe and a place to rent kayaks. It was just a nice vibe. If you didn't want to sit on the beach area there were plenty of benches to just sit and enjoy the view as well.

Horseshoe Lake County Park is located in Kitsap County with a large lake, barbecues, picnic tables,…read morevolleyball court (on sand), playground and walking trails. Swimming, canoeing, kayaking and fishing is all allowed at this large lake. And this county park is also dog friendly. My husband, our little girl dog and I stopped by this park on a Thursday afternoon, a little before 1 pm. The reason why we came here was because we were looking for a park with barbecue grills because we had just purchased some raw, fresh oysters and clams from Minterbrook Oyster Farm and wanted to cook some up for lunch. A local at a nearby convenience store suggested this park and so we headed on our way (be sure to purchase charcoal if you want to use the park grills). Parking is plentiful, plenty of parks to provide shade and lots of grass available for our little girl to mark her territory. With a handful of barbecue grills, we decided to pick one by the volleyball court. My husband set up the grill and did the cooking (that is what husbands are for) and my little girl and I explored this large park in the meantime. There are restrooms by the playground, but I did not use it. Also during our visit, a park employee told us that he had to close the restrooms (due to some kind of plumbing problem) and that porta-potties will be delivered later today. This is a great park to have a family get together, picnic, friend gathering (play volleyball or bring your kayaks and launch off of here), fly your drone here or toy planes and play with your dog(s) here. If I lived closer, I would be out here on a regular basis.
