Spooky, in the eye of the beholder. The waters off Ruby Beach are now National Marine Sanctuary territory, and off limits to the many large merchant ships traversing the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

In addition to modern navigation methods, this protection from shipping traffic helps alleviate the Pacific coast of the peninsula from being the extensive shipwreck graveyard so recently a part of the past.
