Leo Carrillo State Beach, State beach in Santa Monica Mountains, United States.
Leo Carrillo State Beach stretches along the Malibu coast with sandy areas and rocky outcrops throughout. Tide pools, sea caves, and reefs create habitats where marine life can be observed during exploration.
The coastal park was established in 1953 and named after a California actor who advocated for conservation. This protected designation preserved one of the remaining natural shorelines in the region.
The beach honors an actor who championed coastal conservation during his lifetime. Visitors experience a place shaped by generations of people who value ocean access and natural protection.
The beach provides parking, restrooms, and lifeguard presence during summer months. Visitors should check tide conditions since some areas become inaccessible during high tide.
A 2018 wildfire destroyed parts of the park, but international rescuers helped rebuild the facilities. Australian lifeguard groups donated equipment specifically for the Junior Lifeguard program.
