Review:

Escondido Beach is a county-operated beach in Malibu that faces the Pacific Ocean coast to the south, located just east of Point Dume. The beach is accessible via a public gate and bridge at Escondido Creek along the Pacific Coast Highway, along with a public access stairway located near the Geoffrey's Malibu restaurant. Visitors should note that public parking at the beach is extremely limited, with street parking spaces located near Malibu Cove Colony Drive and Geoffrey's.

Is there a good spot to kayak and scuba dive in Malibu? Though limited beachfront area is offered at high tide, the beach is a popular spot for scuba divers, kayakers, and beachcombers during low tide conditions, with enough beachfront sand area available to walk to adjacent Paradise Cove.

Must know: Visitors should note that no public facilities are offered at the beach and that dogs are not permitted on the beachfront area.
