71. Kalaloch Day Hikes

Seven trails lead to the ocean from Highway 101 and from there visitors can wander along sandy beaches for longer hikes. Watch for brown park signs along Highway 101, pull off and go exploring!  One of the most popular day use beaches is Ruby Beach where you will find picturesque sea stacks, a variety of shore birds, and tide pools at low tide.  Another great beach for tide pools is Beach #4.  Both Ruby Beach and Beach Trail #4 have accessible viewpoints and accessible vault toilets.  Pets are allowed on all the beaches from Ruby Beach to South Beach and must be kept on leash at all times.  Be sure to pick up after your pet and do not allow your dog to harass protected wildlife.  At Kalaloch Lodge and campground there is also beach access as well as an easy 1.0 mile loop through coastal forest.
