Carbon Beach

Beach · Los Angeles County

"Carbon Beach isn't a private beach, but it feels like one. You'll encounter a few other folks as you walk behind the homes of the ultra-wealthy, but otherwise, this long stretch of beach is about as secluded as Malibu gets. The water is excellent for swimming, calm with no rocks, and the sand is soft and cozy—perfect to laze out on all afternoon. Carbon Beach is best for a quiet walk or a jog. There are few places in Malibu that aren't overrun with people, and this is one of them, so enjoy that to the fullest." - Maxwell Williams, Krista Simmons
