💎 Hidden Gem

A series of swimming holes and red sandstone slabs along the Santa Ynez River — SB County's summer swim spot.

At the end of Paradise Road past Sage Hill, the Red Rock day-use area accesses the Santa Ynez River's most loved swimming pools. Year-round residents jump from sandstone slabs, picnic on the bank, and cool off in the deepest holes.
