Red Rocks (SSSI) is an area of sand dunes and reedbeds at the mouth of the Dee Estuary and to the west of Hoylake on the Wirral Peninsula, England.
The area is home to a variety of dune/reed plants the rarest of which is Mackay's Horsetail, which is not found in any other location in England. The area is important for recording migrant birds, and is an important breeding site for Natterjack Toads, a breed common in mainland Europe, but rare in the UK.
