Malibu Beach Travel Tips
- Surfrider Beach, by Malibu's pier, draws surfers to its legendary waves. You can rent beach gear on the pier and set up in the sand, cast a line from the pier, or eat at one of the pier's classic restaurants.
- Find a beach party at Zuma Beach, a popular summer destination for Angelenos and Valley residents, who swim, kiteboard, and surf here. But be careful: Rip currents can be strong.
- Pay the parking fee at Paradise Cove and you'll have access to the private beach here. (If you eat at the adjacent restaurant, you can have your parking validated.)
- Point Dume State Beach has tide pools and a bluff-top viewing platform perfect for seeing whales migrating offshore.
- Want to camp near the beach? Head to Leo Carrillo State Park, a popular spot that takes reservations seven months in advance. Sycamore-shaded sites along the 1.5-mile-long beach attract surfers, windsurfers, fishers, and beachcombers.
- Malibu's well-heeled homeowners are particularly sensitive to trespassing, but you can still walk the beach between the mean high-tide line down to the water.
