Along the way, I stopped at some other coastal overlooks and made Ruby Beach the grand finale. On a September Wednesday, the lot was nearly full. It was a nice day-not too chilly with the sun out. Later on, the fog rolled in and made the scenery even more dramatic. It was a lovely coastal walk. The sea stacks were amazing and even though the tide was coming in, I managed to see a few sea stars. To get to the beach, it's a short downhill path, with a gentle grade. Although it's super popular, if you walk far enough, there's solitude to be had. Ruby Beach lives up to its hype and absolutely worth visiting while on the coast.

Awesome beach and associated park. The beach is very accessible - parking is roadside with a nicely…read morepaved sidewalk, and then just a few steps down and you're on the beach! There's a bunch of driftwood among the soft sand. There's enough sand to walk on to not worry about accidentally getting wet, but also the water isn't a large distance away. I even saw a harbor seal swimming in the water right from the sidewalk, to give you an idea of how close things are. The beach is contiguous with Willows park. The public washrooms have a shower area to wash off sand as well as toilets and sinks. There's a playground and grassy areas if you want to play around or lie in the grass. Do note that this area is dog friendly. During my visit, all of the pooches were well behaved so I wouldn't be too worried about it though.

One of the most magical places I've ever been to, it's a short hike in and a hike out. Downhill there and then uphill back, not paved trail. Be sure to get there before sunset so you have time to look around the beach and enjoy the sunset, but either way so worth the trip! We went on Christmas Eve and had the whole beach to ourselves! Will have to come back one day to explore more of this beautiful beach. It's La Push, Bella ;)

While I'm not exactly a fan of Twilight books, I was glad we made the drive. It's a beautiful beach full of driftwood. A great place to have a picnic but be prepared to climb over a lot of that driftwood to get to the beach. There are a couple of porta-potties near the beach, but no public bathroom facilities. Plenty of parking and at least as of 8/25 there is a food truck nearby

They're never the white…read moresand beach in the Caribbean, but rather the rugged, rock Beach with loads of driftwood and places to explore. This one is literally about 10 miles down the main road and opens into a couple of large parking lots with the beach just beyond. You have to climb over layers of driftwood to get to the rock part of the beach, followed by the sand part. It means that there's always something to explore and do here! Our kids did everything from playing in the water to build forts, to you sticks like a baseball bat and golf club to hit rocks into the water. It was pretty phenomenal to watch everybody exploring and playing while the sun went down over some beautiful rocks out in the water. When the tide is down, the tide pools are pretty fantastic and there's a ton of stuff to explore out in the water. The walk down to the eye of the needle is definitely worth it, and is something you should do earlier in the day as it does tend to get fairly dark fairly quickly. Check the tide schedules and plan accordingly. If you're over in the area, this is one of those places you need to go at least once, and will probably go again the next time you visit.

Couldn't hike all the way to the lighthouse this time around, but it's on my list for next time for sure. A couple of quick heads-ups for fellow visitors: * ​If you don't have a State Park Pass, the entrance fee is $3. Make sure to bring cash, as the card machine was down during our visit. * Free parking is available, and there's a campground right nearby. * Definitely bring a hat, sunglasses, plenty of water, and solid walking shoes. It's a lovely place to unwind!

The camp sites are quite large with lots of trees. Bathrooms and showers are nice. Maybe the pay function of the showers was broken when I visited, but showers were free.

One of the two toilets in the tent camping area was out of order for our whole stay (2 days) and the Port-a-potty was full. Very full. For two days. This campground sells out *every summer*; it should not be a surprise to them that they are fully occupied and need to provide adequate sanitation facilities for the people in the 31 tent sites. And in fact, they know that the sanitation is inadequate, because they mentioned it in the notice on the the toilet door: "Due to high volume during summer months, our vault toilets may experience overuse. We schedule two cleanings a day but encourage guests to take full advantage of the flushable toilets, showers, and rinse station located at the east / RV side of the park." The RV side of the park provides a whopping 3 toilets for women, and 2 toilets and a urinal for men. Given the swarms of mosquitoes, its not a delightful walk over to the RV side. Nor is it delightful to have to use a full Port-a-Potty when you are paying $45 a night for a tent camp site. The location is not enough of a redeeming factor for us, we will not be back.

Sand here much nicer than the one at hobuck beach, too Trailhead had a cute, wooden boardwalk at the start that were in the shade of the tall and skinny treescovered in moss. It was so nice to breathe the air here and there is so much side street parking no matter what time you come. I came during prime hours that were later in the day, but not too late...still was able to park! Just watch your step for the muddy parts and the change in elevation with the boardwalk steps

The hike to the beach is about 2 miles, very muddy, but it truly feels like you are walking through a rainforest. It's also the best trail to spot banana slugs! The beach itself is incredible, especially during low tide with amazing tide pools. It's much less crowded than other beaches in the area, giving you plenty of space to explore. You can walk along the shoreline for miles. Overnight camping on the beach is also allowed!
