Alki Coves 1,2,3
​
Parking: This site has street parking as well as a small lot. If the sun is out, it is limited but people come and go often so you should be able to find a spot depending on the time of day.
Bathrooms: There are public bathrooms at this site - a short walk away.
​
Entry: A few steps and then rocky beach - maybe a log or two depending on the what has washed ashore this week.
​
What will I see? This is a mostly sandy bottom with a gentle slope to some pilings and other bits and pieces of sunken boats. This is a great place to see Giant Pacific Octopus if you look under the things on the bottom. You can often see the fanning their eggs if you're lucky.
​
Things you should know: This site is not current sensitive so you can dive it anytime. There is a foot ferry dock here so stay outside of the marked boundaries to be safe above and below the surface. Cove 2 is very popular for classes and is often very busy with eager new divers. This area is also called Seacrest Cove 1, 2, 3.
​
Food: There is a small restaurant right here in the parking lot or quite a few more if you head down around Alki point.
