Puerco Beach

Located in the city of Malibu, Puerco Beach is a narrow beach situated below Pacific Coast Highway between Puerco Creek and Corral Creek Bridge. It is rarely crowded and a south-facing beach that is mostly wet during high tides and is in front of many private homes and condos.  Since all California beaches are public below the mean high tide line, Puerco Beach is a public beach.  Dan Blocker Beach and Amarillo Beach are situated at the western and eastern end of the beach respectively. When the waves are small, this beach can be an excellent site for boating, fishing, hiking, paddle-boarding, scuba diving beneath kelp forests and on the reefs, snorkeling, and swimming.

If you are looking for nearby attractions, Malibu Beach RV Park is a 10-minute drive away – it is a campground nearby where you can set up a tent, or even an RV or a cottage at their cottages. Spread across six acres, Malibu Bluffs Park is a community park consisting of two baseball diamonds, a soccer field, a playground, a skate park, picnic tables, and a whale watching station. It also hosts many events and sports leagues for children, youths, and adults.  Adamson House Museum which is also known as the "Taj Mahal of Tile" is situated nearby and explores the history of Malibu. If you like hiking, Point Dume is a perfect spot for hiking, especially for beginners because of its natural climbing wall with moderate single-pitch rock climbing routes. Another great option is Malibu Pier, a tourist attraction site famous for its iconic dual white towers, rough-hewn planks, two restaurants, five stores, and an observation deck where you can fish and look for dolphins. 

Getting here is very easy – after you get off of Pacific Coast Highway, drive to the west side of Malibu Road through Webb Way to reach here. To access the beach, drive to 25120 Malibu Road where you will find public parking spaces along the road. There is another access point on the far west end at 25446 Malibu Road where Puerco Beach widens as housing development stops.
