Located directly in front of a row of beautiful beachfront homes in Malibu, Carbon Beach is a mile-long strip of sandy, south-facing beach which runs from Malibu Pier at Surfrider Beach to Carbon Canyon Road. The beach is sometimes called Billionaire’s Beach due to the lavish celebrity homes which have been built directly on the soft golden sand.
One of these celebrities is David Geffen, who campaigned for years to deny public access to this strip of beach heaven; today the east access of the beach is right beside his home. The beach offers great walking and paddling but is completely under water at high tide.
Carbon Beach, Malibu, 22126 Pacific Coast Hwy, Malibu, CA 90265
