Dan Blocker Beach

Dan Blocker Beach is a long stretch of sand between Malibu Lagoon State Beach and Point Dume. It's also known as Corral State Beach, and the county now manages it. During the summer months, there are bathrooms, picnic tables, and lifeguards on duty at the beach.

The beach is open to visitors from sunrise to sunset, and lifeguards are on duty at all times. Dan Blocker Beach attracts a large number of visitors who come to swim, surf, or dive. Kayaking and fishing are additional popular activities. Although there are some rocks and a lot of beach grass, the beach is mostly sandy. The beach is less crowded than other stretches of sand in Malibu, making it ideal for visitors seeking a little peace and quiet. The PCH, however, runs close to the beach, and traffic noise is common. The most typical approach to get to Dan Blocker Beach is to park along the side of the PCH. Visitors can also park on the other side of the roadway, close to Malibu Seafood Fresh Fish Market & Patio Cafe, at the Sara Wan Trailhead. The 2.5-mile round-trip into Corral Canyon is also available from this trailhead.
