Ruby Beach in Olympic National Park, Washington, USA

Welcome to Ruby Beach, a coastal destination named for its sparkly sand, at Washington’s Olympic National Park in the United States. Here on the Olympic Peninsula you’ll find rugged beaches, glacier-topped mountains and temperate rainforests that receive upwards of 12 feet of rainfall per year. All that rain feeds the mosses, lichens and ferns that lend the forests a unique, jungle-like quality.
