It's okay. Make sure you wear appropriate clothing/gear. Walking is okay, but found other trails more interesting. Better for 4x4, free diving etc.

Fantastic day at Red Rocks. Best to go on a clear day. Views are gorgeous and plenty of seals to see. Highly recommend this place a visit.

Amazing view, quite windy. No luck to see a seal today, not the right season I guess, still a good walk. Definitely will come back again.

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!

Such a stunning walk, very windy and cold but worth it to come face to face with 50 seals. Some parts of the walk are hard road which easy to traverse but some parts are very loose gravel that you sink into making it quite tiring but well worth it. Lots more treks on the same hill also.

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!!

Beautiful. Worth to be here, even we need to walk in the beach side around 1 hour to see the seals

Great beach to walk around with views of the South Island on a good day. There are also lots of seals if you walk to a certain point. The track is easy to walk but is not so good for bikes and gets impossible if you go very far around the coast
