Red Rocks - Seals

My first experience to Red Rocks a few days ago, was more of a hard slog through hard gravel and deep sand, rather than a nice pleasant coastal walk as we were first lead to believe.It took us a long almost one hour trek from where we parked our car to the Devils Gate. Saw a few seals lying on the rocks on our way there. Of course we encountered the famous red colour rocks there which was a highlight of our long arduous trek.It was becoming quite cold and unpleasant and dark by the time we got back to our car around 5pm.It definitely seemed to be tougher walking back than going there.So my advise is go earlier around midday on a nice pleasant warmish sunny day instead...... as we arrived quite late at 3.00pm. Make sure you wear warmish winter clothing also as it can become quite cold there!!

Its a great scenic walk

Wild seals , be aware that they might chase after people, keep the safe distance with them.

A very easy and beautiful coastal walk. Very windy so try and time your visit for a calm day. We saw lots of friendly cute fur seals who seemed to like posing for the camera.

Great walk and close to town. The walk to the seal colony is worth it - just past devils gate. Weather can get pretty extreme as can the 4wd traffic. Great spot for astrophotography too with no light pollution at night.

Long, yet totally worth it walk out here. These seals just chill out while you can take as many photos as you'd like. If you're bringing a camera, (which I highly recommend) definitely bring a telephoto lens to be able to get up close to the seals, since physically getting close would be rather dangerous!

Rather a long walk if you don't have a 4x4 but fairly interesting birds and rock colors

Great coastal track just round from the red rocks, gorgeous at sunset on a clear day@Ldienes on instagram

Breathtaking place to go to. Need a car, obviously, but so worth it! There was noone else at the time we arrived -seals excluded- and we came right before sunset. The photos do not so justice to the place. It feels like we are on another planet. Noone else but us and the seals, amazing view, and we were extremely lucky with the weather. Highly recommend if you're in the area ✨
