Located in the scenic city of Malibu, Topanga Beach spans over a mile in length and covers 21.5 acres. Known for its popularity among surfers, it’s one of Malibu's most favored surfing destinations. Topanga Beach, or Topanga State Beach, is positioned on the eastern edge of the Pacific Palisades, near the renowned Mastro’s Ocean Club restaurant. The beach offers a consistent right break and a lagoon near Topanga Creek, ideal for surfing enthusiasts.

Please note that as a result of the Palisades Fire in January 2025, many of the businesses and homes near Topanga Beach have been destroyed, and we recommend not visiting this beach due to unsafe water conditions and poor air quality.

There are several restaurants within walking distance from Topanga Beach. Mastro's Ocean Club, situated directly on Topanga Beach, is a popular spot offering seafood and steak with scenic views. Cholada Thai Beach Cuisine, a cozy beachside eatery, serves Thai curries, noodles, and salads. Another excellent choice, Reel Inn Malibu, offers seafood favorites like oysters, shrimp, and grouper at affordable prices.

If you're looking for hotels, options are plentiful within an eight-minute drive of Topanga Beach. Nobu Ryokan Malibu is an exclusive 5-star beachfront hotel offering a fitness center. Malibu Beach Inn, a 4-star hotel on Carbon Beach (often called Billionaires' Beach), features a bar, spa, and restaurant. The Surfrider Hotel, Malibu, offers a lounge and rooftop bar, while the pet-friendly Malibu Country Inn provides a pool and outdoor fireplace.

Visitors to Topanga Beach enjoy various amenities, including lifeguards, restrooms, showers, and picnic tables, ensuring a convenient and pleasant beach experience.

Topanga Beach is a hub for activities like surfing, scuba diving, fishing, and hiking. Swimming is also permitted, though caution is advised due to waves that break over cobblestones and a reef, along with an old steel barrier at the western end of the beach.

Accessing Topanga Beach is straightforward, with a paid parking lot for 96 cars located at 18700 Pacific Coast Highway, west of Topanga Canyon Boulevard. Free parking is available along the highway outside the lot, and the beach is accessible by Bus 534 at the Pacific Coast Highway/Topanga Canyon Boulevard stop.

Topanga State Park in southern California offers extensive trails and scenic views and is a must-visit for outdoor enthusiasts. Just eight minutes from Topanga Beach is the iconic Malibu Pier, famous for its dual white towers, restaurants, shops, and dolphin sightings. Hikers can explore the Big Rock Trail, which offers stunning views and photo opportunities. The Topanga Lookout Trailhead, covering 9,000 acres in the Santa Monica Mountains, provides breathtaking 360-degree views of the ocean and mountains. Nearby Legacy Park features natural habitats, parks, and water bodies. The Venice Beach Boardwalk is also nearby, with its street performers, eateries, shops, skateboarding, and kayaking facilities.
