Amarillo Beach
Amarillo Beach is the official name of the eastern beach along Malibu Road in Malibu, CA. This is the beach on the point below Malibu Bluffs Park. East of the point the beach is very rocky and west of the point there is a narrow sandy beach. Several public access corridors have been provided between homes along Malibu Road. The public gates are next to houses with the addresses (east to west): 24320, 24436, 24572, 24712). This last one is particularly nice since there is a gap with no homes making the beach wider here. There is a storm drain here at this access so don’t swim in the ocean when the drain is flowing. The hillside above Malibu Road has trails that lead up to Malibu Bluffs Park for a nice hiking opportunity. Look for a trailhead signed “Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy Zone Parkland” along Malibu Road. At high tide there is little or no beach to enjoy at Amarillo Beach. The public beach here is below the mean high tide level in some places and below the homes in others. Just allow the homeowners some space when putting down your towel to be safe and considerate. Interestingly, Malibu Road only can be entered at the east end at Webb Way. Parking is available on the road shoulders near the gates. Be careful not to block any driveways.
Just north of the Malibu Colony you will find Amarillo Beach. When the waves are small there can be some excellent skin or scuba diving beneath the kelp beds and on the reefs. If you are interested in uncrowded beaches, than Amarillo Beach is for you. When visiting the semi-private beach one is supposed to stay below the mean high tide line. Large homes line the sandy beach heading north. The sea life is abundant and dolphins and seals are commonly spotted swimming in the water.
