About this spot
Take US-101 toward Santa Barbara and head toward Highway 154 via 10th Street. Continue eastbound on 154 as it crosses over the mountain pass. Beyond San Marcos Pass, you'll encounter Paradise Road on your right—take this eastbound turnoff. Stay on Paradise Road until it ends. Some jump sites are visible from the road itself, but to access the larger formations, locate the Red Rock trailhead at the final parking area. The region contains numerous jumping locations throughout. Note: be aware of ranger presence and water hazards in this area.
Safety first. Cliff jumping is inherently dangerous and can cause serious injury or death. Conditions — water depth, submerged hazards, and access — change constantly. CliffScout is community-sourced reference information, not a guarantee a spot is safe. Always assess the conditions yourself before jumping, and never jump where you're unsure. You assume all risk.
