Ruby Beach is een strand in de Amerikaanse staat Washington. Het is het meest noordelijke strand van de zuidelijke stranden van Olympic National Park. Volgens de National Park Service ligt Ruby Beach niet in het park, maar juist op de grens ervan. Het ligt aan de U.S. Route 101 in Jefferson County, zo'n 43 km ten zuiden van het plaatsje Forks.
Zoals het geval is voor alle stranden in de regio, wordt Ruby Beach steevast overspoeld met drijfhout.
Ruby Beach staat bekend als een van de mooiste stranden van het Olympic-schiereiland, onder andere door de fotogenieke stacks vlak voor de kust.
This is a must see beach especially at low tide. The tide pools are loaded with marine life like starfish, sea anemones, crabs, fish, etc. Get there early. The parking lot was full, and cars were parked on both sides of the road all the way back to U.S. Hwy 101. Nice wide trail down to beach. Great viewing areas from the top if you are unable to walk down. Restrooms available in the parking area. Dog friendly beach, but they must be on a leash. Check the tide charts and get out there. A photographer's dream.
Ruby Beach is stunning, with stones instead of sand and beautiful driftwood lining the beach. I’ll come here every year if I can.
Wow! Just wow! I could’ve stayed here for days. It was so peaceful and the views were simply breathtaking. My favorite part was how the forest came right up to the beach and the minute you stepped out of the trees you landed on this glistening space filled with majestic rocks, driftwood “huts” and benches, and the sound of the ocean. Our stay was brief but we took some time to walk down a ways and really admire the rocks in the ocean. We played frisbee and each took time to find a spot to just sit and reflect. Absolutely worth stopping here whether for an hour (like us) or the whole day!
Very scenic beach. Great to walk around and easy path from the parking lot to the beach. Can get crowded. Hilarious that google says this is in Forks that is a ways away but likely the biggest nearby town.
Omg, this beach was stunning! We spent hours just exploring, capturing the awesome scenery, and taking it all in. Fantastic place to escape to.
Beautiful beach.. parking was kinda crowded but the beach was great. People were nice.. dog owners were respectful of other dogs..
