Skip the cramped coves of central Malibu for this massive stretch of sand. It offers actual space to lay out your towel without bumping into strangers. Hit the shore by 9am to snag a parking spot near Tower 9. If you want to get in the water, the private surf adventure is worth the $97 entry price to actually catch waves. Avoid weekends unless you enjoy traffic gridlock and zero personal space. It’s basic, but honest.
