Local Attractions Beaches With 21 miles of coastline, Malibu has many beautiful beaches. For more information on the beaches below, please visit: http://www.ci.malibu.ca.us/index.aspx?nid=96. Surfrider Beach A famous right-break, this beach had a big impact on surfing culture in Southern California in the 1960s. Located near the Malibu Pier, it is still probably the most surfed spot in Los Angeles County. Zuma Beach One of the largest and most popular beaches in the Los Angeles County, Zuma is known for its long, wide sands and excellent surf. Zuma is protected by the Lifeguard unit with 14 lifeguard towers. Escondido Beach This short and narrow beach that runs from Escondido Beach Road on the Pacific Coast Highway is a popular put-in point for kayakers. Escondido Beach is also one of the few dog friendly beaches in Malibu. Westward Beach Westward Beach Road runs at the base of sea cliffs that jut out into the ocean at Point Dume. Point Dume is more removed from the highway, making it quieter than other area beaches. The boardwalk overlooks the State Preserve, where volunteers are removing invasive iceplant to restore native coastal scrub habitat. It s also a good place for whale watching in season. Leo Carrillo Beach This park includes 1.5 miles of beach for swimming, surfing, windsurfing, surf fishing and beachcombing, as well as tide pools, coastal caves and reefs for exploring. Giant sycamores shade the main campgrounds. The park also features back-country hiking. Nature walks and campfire programs are offered and a small visitor center has interpretive displays. During the summer, children's programs are available. Page 13
