Red Rock Beach, situated on the northern part of the Coffs Coast, is known for its serene atmosphere and vibrant activities. Located near Corindi Beach, it offers stunning views and diverse outdoor experiences. The beach is a popular spot for swimming, snorkeling, and surfing, while the nearby Red Rock Headland provides opportunities for hiking and exploration. The area is rich in history, particularly significant to the Gumbaynggirr people, with a memorial dedicated to those affected by the Bloodrock massacre. Red Rock is a major starting point for the Solitary Island Coastal Walk, attracting both local and international visitors.
Red Rock village itself is a small, quiet community with a focus on tourism. Most residences are vacation homes that fill up during school holidays, making it a lively spot during peak seasons. The village has a caravan park, community center, and bowling club, catering to both locals and tourists. The estuary offers peaceful picnic areas and opportunities for fishing and kayaking.
The Solitary Islands, visible from Red Rock Headland, add to the allure of this picturesque location. The headland's red jasper rock formations, which date back 300 million years, make it an interesting geological site.
