Ruby Beach — Sunday, Jul. 27, 2025

Olympic Peninsula > Pacific Coast

Gorgeous beach walk with excellent opportunities for seeing cool rock formations and colorful sea life. This is a fantastic hike for families who want a relaxed outdoor experience with lots to see and explore.

The parking lot was a zoo when we arrived, but we miraculously found a spot right near the path that leads down to the shoreline. There is a privy at the trailhead but the line was about 15 people deep when we arrived. 

The path down to the beach is a bit steep but short. You'll be on sand in no time. We spent a good amount of time strolling the beach, checking out tide pools, climbing on rocks, and watching the surf. One of the loveliest beaches along the Washington coast imho.
