Denny Blaine Park is Seattle's famous unofficial gay and clothing-optional beach, a small, leafy cove on Lake Washington just below the mansions of the Denny-Blaine neighborhood. For decades it has been a beloved summer gathering place for the LGBTQ+ community, especially lesbians and queer women, with a relaxed, sun-soaked vibe on warm days.
Heads up for 2026: the beach has been the subject of an ongoing city dispute. A proposed playground that would have displaced the nude beach was halted, and the city has since introduced signage, designated zones, and stepped-up enforcement around nudity and parking. Rules are in flux, so check current local guidance before you go, park legally, and be respectful of the residential surroundings.

Local LGBTQ+ nude beach, please be respectful of this queer space. If you are not a community member or ally, there are dozens of other beaches on Lake Washington to visit.
This is a gem of a park on the lake. I wish the grass was greener, but understand the need to save water. People were friendly and were looking out for each other. I didn't feel the least bit unsafe there.
an unremarkable collection of nude sunbathing people , of all shapes, sizes, genders, lying around in the sun doing nothing.
So many cool naked people
