Ruby Beach


There's an article in today's Seattle Times about Ruby Beach, which is part of the Kalaloch beach area where we'll be spending a night at the Kalaloch Lodge. According to the article, Lonely Planet named Ruby Beach as one of the world's best beaches—the only one in the United States to make the list.

It's tempting to stop at Ruby Beach on our way from Kalaloch to Forks, but in reality the beach at Kalaloch is probably just as nice.
