Hey paddlers! Have you been dreaming of gliding on water with a board under your feet and a paddle in your hand? Well, Seattle’s got some pretty cool places where you can do just that! Paddleboarding is like walking on water, only way cooler. Ready to find out where? Here we go!
1. **Alki Beach**
Love the beach vibe? Then Alki Beach is your go-to spot for paddleboarding! With the city skyline behind you and the open water in front, you’ll feel like a real adventurer. Plus, the calm waters make it perfect for beginners. Don’t forget to wave at the friendly seals – they might just wave back!
2. **Green Lake**
Looking for a chill lake scene? Green Lake’s got your back! It’s like a giant pool in the middle of a park. Circle around the lake on your paddleboard and check out ducks, geese, and even turtles! If you don’t have a paddleboard, no worries. There are spots right there where you can rent one for a few hours.
3. **Shilshole Bay**
If you’re into more of a salty sea air experience, head over to Shilshole Bay. It’s a bit more open, so get ready to paddle with the wind in your hair. On a clear day, you can see Mount Rainier – it’s pretty epic. And if you’re lucky, you might catch some dolphins playing in the distance.
Before you head out, always remember to wear a life jacket and let someone know where you’ll be – safety first! Whether you’re a paddle pro or just starting out, Seattle’s got a spot for you. So grab that paddleboard and make a splash!
