Review & FAQ:

Malibu Lagoon State Beach is a California state beach located at the terminus of Malibu Creek at the Pacific Ocean, which forms beautiful Malibu Lagoon during the summer months. The beach is accessible via the Pacific Coast Highway, with a parking lot available for visitor use at the highway's intersection with Cross Creek Road. Surfing, swimming, sunbathing, and wildlife watching are popular activities at the beach, with tide pools exposed during low tide conditions.

Pro tip: Lifeguards are staffed on duty during peak times, with public art pieces and interpretive signage offered along the beach's birdwatching trail area.

What else can I do? The state beach is also home to the Malibu Lagoon Museum and the historic Adamson House, which is open to the public as a living history facility.
