Broadbeach
Broadbeach as the name implies is known for its deep beach. With beach lots that can range to over 300 feet of depth, Broadbeach boast some of the largest beach house properties you will find anywhere in Malibu. A standard Broadbeach lot is somewhere in the vicinity of 40 feet of beach frontage by 300 feet deep. Broadbeach is one of Malibu’s “A” list beach communities, and one of Malibu’s more western (think northern) beach communities. Click on the link for more information about Broadbeach Road.
Carbon Beach
Carbon Beach is a stretch of beach just east of the Malibu Pier that runs along Pacific Coast Highway. It has been an “A” list beach for many, many years, but has been more recently dubbed “Billionaire Beach” after Larry Ellison of Oracle fame began buying up substantial sections of beach homes, and a couple of restaurants, about 10 years ago.

County Line
County Line is actually past the Los Angeles/Ventura County Line but is still considered to be a part of Malibu. It is the western most boundary of our community and has beach homes, and a few condo complexes. There is a fun surf spot also called “County Line” and a restaurant across from it called Neptune’s Net that is as close to the wild, wild west of my Malibu childhood days as anything left in town.

Encinal Bluffs
The Encinal Bluffs is one of Malibu’s most western beach communities. A typical Encinal Bluffs estate property is one that sits on an acre or two (and can get up to about 10 acres), is on a rolling midrange to high bluff, and has a path to a fantastic picturesque, rock bordered beach cove, with sandy secluded beaches.

Escondido Beach
Escondido Beach is made up of single family homes that run along a winding road that parallels PCH and runs below Geoffrey’s restaurant. There are sections of the beach that are quite deep and sandy, as well as several sections where the homes are built closer to the water. Click on the link for more information about Escondido Beach.
Latigo Beach
Latigo Beach is west of Malibu Road by a mile or two and is another beach community with a lot of diverse housing options. Latigo Beach is has a rocky point that is an excellent surf spot and diving spot. There are quaint, more original, Malibu Beach homes, a giant Condo Complex called Tivoli Cove, and a section of newer, very high end beach condos, all within a stone’s throw of each other.

La Costa Beach
La Costa Beach is one of the first generously sandy beaches you get to driving from Santa Monica heading towards Malibu. It is also one of Malibu’s last truly private beaches. There is a community beach club near the center of the beach that services the bluff homes across Pacific Coast Highway, but currently no public access.

Malibu
Malibu, CA, is about 45 minutes from Los Angeles, but is entirely a world apart. Malibu is listed as “27 Miles of Scenic Beauty” and is literally LA’s park and nature preserve. Enormous amounts of the land here has been protected and devoted to local, state and national park land. As I have traveled around the world, I find that the name Malibu is almost universally recognizable, and associated with images of surfing, beaches, sun, fun, and Hollywood glamour.

Malibu Road
Malibu Road runs just west of the Malibu Colony. Malibu Road is several miles long and ranges from some of the nicest beach estates in Malibu, to multi family apartments and condos. The most eastern section of Malibu Road is referred to as the Malibu Colony outside the gates, and is still part of the Malibu Colony Home Owners Association.

Malibu Colony
Malibu lore (and probably historical fact) has it that the Malibu Colony was originally called the “Malibu Movie Colony”, because it was a private, gated, enclave designed as a beach retreat for the Hollywood Movie elite. Today it is still one of Malibu’s only private, gated, security patrolled enclaves. Click on the link for more information about The Malibu Colony.
Malibu Cove Colony
Malibu Cove Colony is one of Malibu’s other guard gated beach communities. It is just to the west of Latigo Beach, and has a guarded gate at its western end. It is a charming private road along the beach, with homes mostly built on pilings up above the water, with waves that rush underneath.

Paradise Cove
Paradise Cove has a few small streets that have groups of homes, and possibly the nicest mobile home park on the planet on the western most end, which has trails that lead down to the beach, but for the purposes of this communities section, we are referring to the multi acre estate properties that are among the finest addresses in Malibu.

Point Dume
Point Dume is, as the name implies, a huge point that sticks out into the ocean in the slightly western from middle section of Malibu. It is Malibu’s largest community on the ocean side of the Pacific Coast Highway, with somewhere in the vicinity of 500 homes. If you look on a map of Malibu you can see Point Dume sticking out into the Pacific Ocean just east of Zuma Beach, and just west of Paradise Cove.Click on the link for more information about Point Dume.
Sea Level Drive
Sea Level Drive runs off of Broadbeach road on its more western end. From the street along Broadbeach you cannot see the homes that run down along the beach at Sea Level. It is a gated, but not guarded drive, with homes that run along both the beach and the landside of the road.
