We've been to this spot twice over the past five years. Once during the pandemic, and more recently…read morewith some friends while we were over on the peninsula. It was a nice play area for the kids, there appears to be a large amount of RV parking, there are a couple very acceptable port-o-potties, and most importantly there for some great rocky areas down by the water where the kids plus or minus you can go and explore! I've only been here when the tide has been in, but I can imagine what it is out, there are probably some pretty great tight pools. When we've been there, the small tide pools the form are great for looking for small fish, crabs, and see in enemies. It's basically going to the aquarium in real life! It takes a little bit to get here as it's about 10 miles off the main road, but the roads are nice and it goes quick. There's a more standard sandy beach just around the bend, but it's a private area and runs something like eight dollars a person to go enjoy it. We were more keen to hang out on the rocks after finding out!

Wild and almost otherworldly, Ruby Beach is where the PNW shows off everything it does best…read more From the moment you take the short walk down from the parking lot, you know you're in for something special. Massive sculptural sea stacks rise along the shoreline, rugged and dramatic. The beach is strewn with driftwood, some pieces arranged so naturally they feel like art instillations. Its name comes from the subtle reddish mineral flecks in the sand, which glow beautifully when the sun hits them. We loved exploring this area, and it's absolutely a must-stop if you're anywhere near Forks. Vault restrooms are available just off the parking lot; they're basic and don't have running water. Because this beach is part of Olympic National Park, you'll need to pay the daily entrance fee or better yet, grab an America the Beautiful Pass for access to all national parks. I wouldn't recommend walking barefoot or swimming here. The water stays around 45-55°F year-round, the waves are powerful, and the surf can be unpredictable. This is a place to admire, wander, and soak in the wild beauty of the coast.

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.

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

It looked so beautiful in the sunny weather that Jaric and I were speechless throughout the drive. Lots of parking, yes! But, u need to go to the visitor center first to get a $10 day pass so that you can hang the lime green paper on your car rear view mirror. Nice to take pictures, but I hate that there was no seating arrangement to picnic and there was no area to comfortably lay on so that you can sunbathe. I was really :( about that because I wanted Jaric and I to spend more time together at the beach. The moss on the rocks was such a sight and made it more pop in color with our pictures. I wish that I could max out my star rating for this beach because my eyes were in awe, but really could not spend a long time here with how difficult it was to comfortably stay outside without designated seating areas :(

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.

We didn't stay overnight here, but we did wander much of the grounds and a few trails. We saw deer as we entered, as well as at the start of the trail. Perhaps my favorite deer related encounter however was seeing all the deer tracks on the beach...so cool. We also spotted 2 bald eagles perched on the bluff high above the beach monitoring the waters below. We didn't take the spit all the way to the lighthouse, but did some bird watching along the way as we wandered that direction. It's really a lovely place to hike while taking in beautiful coastal views and spotting animals enjoying their home. Plenty of parking at the main entrance, as well as at various trailheads. Entrance costs $3 or a valid pass.

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.
