Bass Rock Beach is a secluded and picturesque beach located in Malibu, California, near the Ventura and Los Angeles County border. It is accessible via a concrete stairway from Pacific Coast Highway, although the base of the stairs is eroding, requiring visitors to jump or climb down rocks at the bottom. The beach is known for its large rocks at both ends, with the rock at the south end officially named Bass Rock. This area is popular for surf casting fishing and offers tide pools at low tides. Dogs are allowed on leashes, and parking is free along the highway. Despite being close to the busy highway, it serves as a nice stopping point along the scenic drive.
Bass Rock Beach offers a serene and natural setting, ideal for those seeking a less crowded beach experience. Its proximity to other Malibu beaches like Deer Creek Beach and Sycamore Cove Beach makes it a convenient stop for travelers exploring the area.
The beach's unique features, including the dramatic rock formations and the opportunity for tidepooling, make it a fascinating spot for nature lovers and photographers.
