Seattle | Chasing a Sunset at Ruby Beach

🌊 Amber Seas and Rugged Rocks At low tide, the beach resembles a vast palette—emerald seaweed clings to rust-red rocks, the water shimmers like translucent amber, and waves are edged with gold. Walking barefoot on the cool sand feels like stepping into a painting. ⏳ Wait until 7 PM—the magic begins! The sun suddenly tears through the clouds, pouring molten gold across the horizon! The entire ocean seems to ignite 🔥, while the rocks stand as silent silhouettes. Waves adorned with glimmering "diamonds" crash toward the shore. 🌌 The Ultimate Romance at 9:20 PM As the sun fully dips below the sea, the sky stages a 30-minute gradient spectacle: fiery orange → smoky pink → lavender purple → serene blue. We sat on a driftwood log, mesmerized, listening only to the waves and our own heartbeats. ✨ The afterglow is unforgettable! Even on the drive back, the seascape lingered in our minds. We couldn’t stop taking photos 📸. 📍 Ruby Beach, Olympic National Park 🎫 Free! But requires a National Park Pass or entry fee. ⚠️ Final note: The waves are powerful—expect wet shoes and pants! #Ruby Beach#Seattle#sunset#Washington#travel guide#trip diary#Washington life
