El Pescador State Beach and La Piedra State Beach

Two of the three beaches that make up Robert Meyer Memorial State Beach in western Malibu are El Pescador and La Piedra. The third beach is the well-known El Matador State Beach, and all three are well worth the trip from the PCH.

To get to the beach, walk down a trail from the El Pescador Beach parking lot. Of the three state beaches, it has the shortest hiking approach. In the other direction (east), La Piedra State Beach is a short distance away. From El Pescador Beach, another renowned state park, Point Dume, may be seen in the distance. When compared to El Matador State Beach, El Pescador and La Piedra are less crowded. Even yet, their parking lots are always full, especially on weekends. Portable toilets are available in these parking lots, but there are few additional facilities. Both beaches aren't as long as El Matador, but there's plenty of area for walking or laying a towel down, especially at low tide. Visiting either beach requires a steep descent down a dirt path lined with stairwells. It is advised that you wear footwear that is more durable than flip-flops.
