Carbon Beach

Carbon Beach stretches for about a mile east of the Malibu Pier along a strip of shoreline. Because of the luxurious villas built right on the water's edge by famous celebrities and CEOs, Carbon Beach has been dubbed "Billionaire's Beach".

For decades, wealthy homeowners on Carbon Beach have sought to prevent access to this short stretch of beach, dubbed "Billionaires Beach" by residents. It used to be difficult to access the beach because of the densely packed residences and the one-mile beachfront length. But now access points that have recently been built make it easier for the general public to enjoy the beach. If you don't mind the lack of solitude, the eastern section of Carbon Beach is a smooth sandy beach that's great for strolling and sunbathing. On the east, west, and center parts of the beach, three primary entry points go down to the sand. To reach these narrow tunnels between residences, visitors must park on the PCH. The Carbon-La Costa Beach Access is Carbon Beach's farthest east access point.
