Best Surfing Beaches in Washington

Located in the southern part of the Olympic Peninsula in the state of Washington, Ruby Beach is a popular beach with gray sand, a lot of driftwood, some pebbly and rocky parts, and interesting rock formations.  This beach is a part of a national park named Olympic National Park.  A creek named Cedar Creek sometimes flows through the beach – once this creek passes the beach, it flows into the Pacific Ocean.  There is also a large nearby offshore rock formation named Abbey Island.  Ruby Beach has been named the 47th Best Beach in the “Top 50 Beaches in the United States” list in 2022 by Randall Kaplan, the world’s foremost beach expert who is also known as “Mr. Beach.”  In addition, this beach was also listed as one of the world’s 100 best beaches by Lonely Planet magazine.
