Carbon Beach in Malibu is “Billionaires Beach”

Carbon Beach in Malibu has been the source of controversy for years. Nowadays it has been a more positive topic of conversation in Malibu, at least for beachgoers.

Wealthy home owners on Carbon Beach have fought for decades to block access to this narrow shore, which has been nicknamed “Billionaires Beach” by locals. Due to the tightly packed homes and the one-mile shoreline length, it used to be hard to get to the beach. Now the California Coastal Commission has succeeded in opening three separate access points to Carbon Beach. And while it is a narrow beach (all wet at high tide), it’s nice to have it open to the general public.
