31134 Broad Beach Rd, Malibu, CA 90265, USAOverview
Located in the city of Malibu, Broad Beach is a narrow beach that is slightly more than a mile in length and is home to many movie stars including Ray Romano, Dustin Hoffman, Robert De Niro, Mel Gibson, and Pierce Brosnan. Broad Beach is also known as Trancas Beach, which is named after Trancas Canyon Creek that runs through the middle of Broad Beach and Zuma Beach. This beach has been eroding for many years, and the residents here have used many methods to prevent more erosion including bulkheads and rock piles. Broad Beach offers several activities including fishing, hiking, paddle-boarding, scuba diving, snorkeling, surfing, swimming, volleyball, and windsurfing. If you walk towards the north end of the beach, you will find tide pools that separate it from Lechuza Beach. Getting here is easy – it is situated on Broad Beach Road near the intersection between Pacific Coast Highway and Trancas Canyon Road. There are parking spaces available along Pacific Coast Highway and Broad Beach Road. To access the beach, use public stairways between homes at 31344 and 31200 Broad Beach Road or walk north from the northernmost parking space at Zuma Beach.
