About Malibu
With nearly three-dozen beaches to choose from, Malibu is a beach-lovers dream. From the iconic Surfrider Beach, famous for world-class surfing and movies like “Gidget”, to one of the area's cleanest beaches at Zuma Beach, to the cave-like rocks and cliffs of El Matador State Beach, there are plenty of options. Keep in mind, though, many of these beaches aren’t very well known, or easy to find. In some cases, beach access has been obscured or signed to discourage the public from entering. Learn more about the Hidden Beaches of Malibu. Before you go, stock up on supplies, food and beach equipment at Malibu Pier and in the city of Malibu.
