It’s very convenient for people who lives in downtown area. Very small beach having 6ft apart circle in those circles you can sit safely during this coronavirus time. Near by small restaurants and super market is der at a walkable distance . Only thing is where-ever you go in a beach area particularly you will face a parking problem.. my husband couldn’t go into the water as der were small pieces of stone near the water area and beach area it’s hard to walk barefoot and also lifeguard were der for safety

Wow this is actually a pretty cool beach, especially if you have kids. There are a ton of lifeguards and a safety line. Great beach close to really cute shops.

This the most popular beach in our town. So since they already open to the public we didnt miss the chance to go there with my family. I really enjoyed every moment and we feel safe with their securities.

I’ve been here several times. It’s a fine beach, so fine, that people will ignore that there’s a global pandemic just to eke one last summer swim in. When there’s not a pandemic, I enjoy a lovely swim in the lake. There aren’t any lockers to keep your stuff, though. The last time I was there, I kept a watchful eye on my belongings and they were fine. Of course, I might have been lucky that time. It is rather small, so it can get crowded fast. Other than that, it is a nice, safe beach to have a good time.

It was a little busy when I came, but I was able to enjoy my time here. Watching the waves was both calming and inspiring. There is plenty to do and see: you can people watch, you can watch the cars on the bridge, you can smell the fresh pine tree foliage, eat lunch, get lunch from any of the surrounding restaurants and bring it here to enjoy, you can close your eyes and listen to the laughter, you can read a book, you can just relax on a bench or on the grass, and lots more! This place is an oasis from the hustle and bustle of downtown.

Not a bad place at all. A lots of room for big crowds. parking is not fun to find unless u get there early. There are life guard. And in general its a nice tourist area

Small but lovely. Sandy beach, roped-off swimming area with life guard, grass to sit in. For Covid they had spray painted circles to encourage social distancing, which was much appreciated. Easy to put in a kayak or float.

Great swimming area and picnic area. Walk along for a long distance along side the on the trails.

Great for family! Easy access, shade and beach! Go early as the park does get crowded as the day progresses. Bathroom is open as well.

Recently discovered this park at the foot of E. Madison and my toddler just loves it. We spent five hours, my child just playing at the playground and testing every equipment, from the big and small kids slides to the zipline. He also had a blast climbing the animal sculptures.Because we had already bought hot food, snacks, plus cold drinks from Red Apple Market (a few meters away from the park), we never had to leave, and it was playtime all the way.Its the perfect summer park for families of all ages!

Nice beach. Lots of ducks. Next to the bridge.

Great place to chill , go swimming or play tennis , there are two amazing tennis courts to have play and have fun !

Good beach to hop in Lake Washington and a bite to eat at several small restaurants or a bakery for a snack.

A solid swimming beach, but minus a star for how crowded it gets here. Compared to Madrona Beach Park, there is less room to spread out. And the bathrooms? Stay away ladies, its not a pretty sight. Though the pro of this spot is that you are near restaurants. Grabbing a marg from Cactus after a swim? Dont mind if I do!

Nice layout, view of my. Raineir is breath taking. Lovely people!

Great walk or swim, beautiful area.

Calm place. Has a good view of the highways, vast cloud from the shore. I love the way it has benches to sit down and relax close to the water!

People tried their best to social distance from what I seen. There were even lifeguards on patrol

Great place for family and friends dog friendly ,kids bicycle, jogging ,picnic

Best Beach in Seattle! Great swimming, people watching and walking distance to Madison Park shops and restaurants.

Love going here. Cosy, sandy, quiet place. Clean.

Lots of room to swim, float, sunbathe. Lifeguards are nice.

Beautiful beach lots of space for pets and kids

Take a walk on the boardwalk and visit the little shops and see the locals selling there art and other items. Fun places to eat.

Heaven, adults only to the left of the bathrooms please!

Out riding this was a fine spot to take a break nice photo op

The beach is nice and clean but there is a no parking.

Short haired life guard was hot af

When the weather us nice in Seattle, this is the spot to be!

Early mornings if youre into quiet and solitude.

Great swimming/picnic park in Seattle. You can usually find street parking pretty close. In the summer, they usually place a dock in the water that you can swim to/ jump off. Dogs are NOT allowed to swim at public beaches in Seattle though :( However, I have brought my pup to join for picnics! There is a dock close also that is fun to sit on as well. There is a great view of Mount Rainier when it is sunny and a Red Apple supermarket close to pick up picnic snacks.

I never went there I just looked it up on my phone to see what it was like but if its on lake Washington is closed anyway I dont believe their story about the LG I think thats their way of keeping people from going there and not social that seems to be people favorite thing to do theyre going to screw it uptheyre about ready to close alki Beach because of people not doing what theyre supposed to

Nearby is the famous Madison Park Beacheasy walk from the beach itself, and full of boutiques and great dining.

My favorite swimming spot.

Cute little park! Perfect for walk. If you like to rent or buy, you will get this cute park. Plus lots of restaurants and dinning too.

The onsite facilities were clean and nice. The beach despite being crowded still had plenty of room to put your stuff down and I had no doubts about leaving my phone and other items on the beach so I could swim.Once in the water it was clean and beyond the first 10 or so feet it was pretty clear of small children. Swimming was a very nice experience and the lifeguards were very pleasant.

Nice small beach to hang out around.

My favorite Beach in all of Seattle. Excellent swimming and great sightseeing. Ive been swimming here for 30 years and it never disappoints.

Lovely place to spend a hot afternoon. Public restrooms/changing rooms. Swimming and diving boards.

Nice and bit quite place. Enjoy in summer time.

A small beach just beside the park. Great for picnic and playing in the water. Lots of restaurants nearby though they are not beside the beach.

This place can get crowded on a hot day, but well maintained and organized.

Beautiful and peaceful view!

Nice view with lifeguards to assist. They also have diving boards out in the water.

The beach was good. The park was great -- fun play set for kiddos and their Thursday live music event was awesome. Good atmosphere in the neighborhood too. Lots of options! Thanks Madison Park!

Plandemic makes room

I love it

Love being able to see the boats selling by beautiful Park

One of the best places to swim in the city. Bus #11 stops right in front. Can get very crowded on the hottest days. The beach is basically self-segregated like this: Northside is composed of mostly gay men. The middle is mixed with people in their 20s and up (very few kids). The south end with the sand is composed mostly of families with children.

Love this place so much. Only thing is parking is hard to find. Friendly lifeguards. I love swimming here and Im from out of state so this place really made great impression on me the first time I visited.

It was really nice to relax. There is a huge play ground / activity park behind it. The idea you can swim in the water was exciting. Planning on coming back soon.

Excellent beach. Clean, bathrooms, lifeguard on duty, water is clean and warm. Rows of restaurants and shops so you can pick up a bite to eat and an iced coffee and eat st the beach.

Nice lakefront beach area with areas for sitting and laying out. There are lifeguards on duty during certain hours and public bathrooms. Good place to bring kids.

Fun swimming out to the raft. If too crowded on weekends there is another mini beach on the south side of one of the waterfront apartment buildings. Cool people hanging out at night here.

Great swimming, good looking area, everything is in walking distance, and occasionally the cute lifeguard guy or two might flirt with you. (Or was that just with me? )

The ambience is great, the same white, the water cool, they let you bring your own food, the parking sufficient, there is security, the scenery is breath taking. They close by 7pm however, so no later night parties.

Nice place to hang!

Come get away from it all on Madison

Beautiful ambience and safe place for kids and elders alike to enjoy sea shore, swimming, dip, fun and frolic. Excellent place for sun bath and spending sunny holidays with children.

I love this park. Is amazing for families and has a playground across the street. Also, during the summer lifeguards are working.

Madison Park Beach is a nice place to enjoy the beach and food and drinks. Small park but nice lake beach close to a playground and some restaurants.

Great area for swimming in the summer time. Life guards very attentive, fun place , restaurants in the area.

One of the best places to be on a sunny day in Seattle.

Beautiful beach with clear water! Love this little park!

This is my favorite go to park for my son. He loves the swings challenging ropes courses high slides and place to run and play hide and seek as long as it’s not raining we’ll be here

Madison Park is a great location to be with friends and family!

A nice little beach. The water is cold, a little cloudy, and there are a lot rocks. That said, I being my family all summer and we love it!

Is the best place to go

Great place to swim water colder then green lake park but you can get a nice tan

Had a great time with my family on mothers day. The sun was out and the kids had a lot of fun at the park and on the beach.

View is cool.

Great beach next to an amazing park. Makes for a great day with the kiddos.

Always crowded on nice hot days good nice people good place to hang real chill

Great place for swimming and sunbathing!!!

Absolutely loved the atmosphere here. Friendly people and beautiful water.

This place is perfect!

Love this beach

Now this is an oasis of charm in a sea of chaos especially during rush hour which is most of the day now in Seattle. The village has a number of excellent dining establishments and a good food store. The lake can be tranquilizing and the view of the Cascades is marvelous! And there are always some ducks & birds sitting on the beach!

Nicest in the mornings when boat waves are few - especially for swimming and kids. Then there is less algae churned up by waves.It is simply crazy that there is no way to rinse off outside after the bathrooms close. After work swimmers just have to suffer a potential swimmers itch.Also: the city should invest in solar hot water for these showers!Place is outrageously crowded on weekends.

Great walking spot with the dog. Brought my grabber tool and picked up some garbage on the beach while there which is something I would love to see more people doing.

Great City Beach!

Excellent sandy beach on the lake. It can get crowded on weekends, but theres usually a spot to settle in.

Great spot on a summer evening - nice lawn, small beach, and great lake

Great views and nice Sandy beach for playing. There is, however, an epic amount of goose sh*t all over the grass so bring g a washable blanket.

Beautiful setting! Great restaurants close by!

Small and crowded in the summer. Office worker hang out & hipsters, hard pass.

Great location to swim during the summer. There are a number of restaurants, bars, and grocery outlets within walking distance which allow you to spend an entire day in this area without having to re-park your vehicle. On very nice days parking can be scarce, but there is a good amount available overall.

The beach faces west so in the afternoon the sun is at your back. The lifeguards keep the beach nice and clean too

Beautiful area havent been there in 15 years

Nice spot

Heartwarming view

Lovely lakeside beach, roped off area with lifeguards on duty over Summer. Very popular with college kids and families. Beautiful views over the lake. A great place to just spend all day.

It’s a small beach, there are black berry bushes growing off the little pier like area. The views are very nice and there are a few nice restaurants less than a block away and it’s easy to catch a city bus there and back.

Whats not to love here??? One of the best in the city!

Nice little neighborhood access to lake Washington. On a clear sunny day it is a perfect location to sit on the grass in the sun with views of Mount Rainier and numerous shops and restaurants nearby.

Really cool beach. Grassy areas to sit, cool diving board, can hang out pretty far into the water, and (important to me): very swimmable. Definitely was cold, but not too cold to get in. Felt very neighborhood-y and funky.

Everything you want when you head to the lake. Nice place to kick back with your friends. They have lots of grassy areas to sun bath at along with a small patch of what some might call Sandy area. Swimming area is roped off and they have plenty of life guards in case you get into trouble. Very safe place for kids.

Great place too fish also

My favorite place.
