Puerco Beach
Malibu, CA
Puerco Beach is reached by a string of numbered stairways through gates between houses, each with its own limited on-street parking, a genuinely residential access model typical of this stretch of Malibu. Malibu Bluffs Park sits just above, offering an inland approach if the beachfront stairways are full.
A genuinely residential beach with real character, though the gated stairway access and limited parking at each point take some patience.
