Review:
Big Rock Beach is a narrow rocky beach in Malibu, named in honor of a large offshore rock at the beach that serves as a popular resting spot for migratory and shorebirds. The public beach is accessible via a gate along the Pacific Coast Highway and is operated by Los Angeles County, serving as a popular spot for swimming, scuba diving, birdwatching, and fishing.
Can I see seals on a beach in Malibu? You can observe seals sunning along a number of rocks along the beach's shoreline, with ample space for beachwalking and viewing beautiful waterfront homes in the area.
Pro tip: During high tide times, the beach is almost entirely underwater, though expansive sandy stretches are exposed during low tide.
Is there parking? Limited public parking is available at the beach. Street parking is offered across the highway, though visitors should exercise caution in crossing the highway.
