Get on the West Seattle Bridge from either Interstate 5 or from southbound Highway 99. Keep going uphill until you reach SW Alaska Street; turn right and continue to California Ave SW. You will be at Alaska Junction the intersection of California Ave. SW and SW Alaska St. where there are several shops, restaurants, etc. To reach Admiral Junction more shops, restaurants, etc. turn right north on California and continue past the high school.

To reach Alki Beach from the West Seattle Bridge, take the Harbor Ave. exit off the bridge and head north along the waterfront. You'll see the sandy beach when you get there.

The ferry terminal at Fauntleroy offers frequent service to Southworth and Vashon Island. If bringing your car over, be warned that parking near the terminal is extremely scarce.

Downtown visitors without a car can take the West Seattle Water Taxi, which connects foot passengers from downtown with Alki Beach at the Seacrest Ferry Dock.
