Lowman Beach Park

Set along Beach Drive SW right beside Lincoln Park, this compact green space serves as an easygoing alternative to the summer crowds at Alki. Grassy lawn and a couple of picnic tables border a seawall that drops down to the rocky shore. Beyond shoreline strolling, the park is a regular neighborhood launching point to put in kayaks and paddleboards from the pedestrian ramp, gather for informal cold-water dips, or settle in along the stone ledge as the light shifts across Puget Sound.
