Located next to the southern bank of the Red Rock River and facing the South Pacific Ocean, the suburb is primarily a holiday village where vacationers flock during school holidays, making it ideal for family holidays. Red Rock’s scenic beaches, which are patrolled during the summer months, and the Red Rock River are great for swimming and fishing. The river is also good for canoeing and boating further into the wilderness areas.
