El Matador Beach

Arguably Malibu’s most stunning beach, where you park on the bluffs and stroll down a trail to sandstone rock towers that rise from emerald coves. Walk, swim and beach comb or just get in some sunbathing as you stroll through the tides, and dolphins breach the surface beyond the waves.

Of the 27 miles of coastal mountains, pristine coves, wide sweeps of golden sand and epic waves El Matador is probably the most stunning. It’s been impacted by coastal erosion, but you can still find a sliver of dry sand tucked against the bluffs.
