Leo Carrillo State Beach

Leo Carrillo State Beach extends for 1.5 miles along the Malibu coast, featuring tide pools, sea caves, and natural reefs for marine life observation.

The 2,513-acre coastal park, established in 1953, bears the name of actor Leo Carrillo, who served on the California State Parks commission.

The beach gained recognition through appearances in multiple Hollywood productions, including films such as Gidget, Grease, and Point Break.

The beach provides facilities for swimming, surfing, windsurfing, and fishing, with parking areas, restrooms, and summer lifeguard services available from 8 AM to 10 PM.

The 2018 Woolsey Fire affected the entire park, leading Australian surf lifeguard associations to donate replacement equipment for the Junior Lifeguard program.
