Ruby Beach is one of the must-see places in Olympic National Park. It is located about 27 miles from the town of Forks, Washington. The shoreline of Ruby Beach offers great views of rain forests, mountains, and sea stacks. This is a beach, but it is not suitable for swimming and camping is not allowed here. You’ll find piles of driftwood that have been thrown on the shore by waves and storms and have bleached in the sun for many years.
