I was in the mood for a road trip and decided to visit Ruby Beach. The parking lot was spacious and the restroom was well-maintained. The walk to the beach was brief, but I recommend bringing waterproof boots to fully enjoy the area. Although my companions weren't as daring as I was, I could have spent hours exploring the stunning scenery. I'm eager to return with the appropriate gear and experience it all over again. Overall, Ruby Beach is a breathtaking destination that's definitely worth a visit.

Today was an absolutely ideal day to explore Ruby Beach! The weather was perfect, with bright sunshine and only a handful of visitors - around 12 in total. If you have the flexibility, I highly recommend visiting on a weekday. This stunning location is the perfect spot for families to let their kids run around, snap some photos, dip their toes in the ocean, and collect beautiful rocks to build cairns. Personally, Ruby Beach is one of my all-time favorite places on the planet, and it's conveniently located near my absolute favorite spot - the Hoh Rainforest. The air here is so pure and refreshing - it's worth a visit just to take a deep breath and soak it all in!
