Magnifique endroit... Formation rocheuse rouge qui se d'étage du bleu de la mer et du blanc des embruns avec des touches de végétation verte... C'est sublime. Accès par la route après avoir dépassé la fabrique de chocolat. On stationne dans le parking du snack qui porte le même nom (non testé). On s'acquitte de 5EC/pers de droit de passage et on marche max 10min de sentier super facile... Prenez de quoi vous protéger du soleil, ça tape fort, très fort et avec le vent qui masque.

Red Rocks was a gorgeous lookout and photo opportunity. The viewpoint is a quick 5 minute walk down from the restaurant bar and a charge of 2USD or 5ECD is required per person. We were the only ones there and it was amazing - it was the kind of surface that could’ve been slippery if wet so wear appropriate footwear if necessary!
