The rocks jutting out of the beach made for some beautiful scenery. The signs warned that cougars occasionally roam the area, but we didn't see any. That was good. Highly recommend it.

I am an artist and this is one of the most picturesque coastal sites I have ever visited. It is a short walk from parking and you feel as though you are in another world. A sunset from this beach will never be forgotten.

We did the Hwy 101 loop on the Olympic Peninsula. Ruby Beach was a beautiful attraction. There is plenty of parking. The beach is a 5 minute hike from the parking lot. We were lucky it was a sunny day in April. The views were awesome. There are lots of washed up trees on the beach and sea stacks in... More

I have gone here many times, and I think it is an amazing beach. It is the best beach I have visited in Washington State. A must see if you are visiting the Olympic National Park.

Absolutely breathtaking. The sites are all within walking distance to the beach and most are within visual distance. Bathrooms are clean. The beach is breathtaking and the views incredible.

We came here specifically for this beach. We have visited many areas in Olympic National Park, but not Ruby Beach. I wanted to take pictures of the sunset. We arrived around 5 PM. There is a sign telling you it is ahead (even though I had the GPS AND I knew where it was from a previous visit when I... More

It's quite a drive, if you come all the way from Seattle. But it's one of those places, which take your breath away. The power of nature, the amazing view of the ocean and those unique rock islands getting hit again and again by the powerful waves. The logs on the beach. All make for an unreal experience and sights... More

Ruby beach is the most beautiful we found in the area. It was an easy walk down to the beach, where instead of sand you find millions of rocks, from tiny pebbles to large round ones. It has lots of driftwood, and stunning views of huge monoliths similar to what you would see at Cannon Beach. We spent several hours... More
