14. Washington: Ruby Beach
For dramatic, wild, and untamed Pacific Northwest views, Ruby Beach in Olympic National Park is completely unmatched. Characterized by massive, jagged sea stacks rising violently from the surf, giant bleached drift logs scattered across the sand, and misty, fog-shrouded shores, it is incredibly atmospheric. It is a rugged beach designed for active exploration, tide-pooling for giant green anemones, and moody coastal photography, offering a striking contrast to the typical sunny, lounging beaches of the south.
