Latigo Beach, Malibu California

Townhomes line the beach near the entrance to Latigo Shore Drive at PCH.

Latigo Beach offers good shore fishing. For surfing, there is a right-hand point break that favors a strong south swell. It is a slow mushy wave that holds its shape, making long rides abundant. Latigo Beach is private so they ask visitors to stay below the mean high tide line. In the summer when the waves are down and the water temperature is up to around 65 degrees, the water visibility can reach up to 40 feet. There is a nice stretch of sand that makes for a perfect location to lay out and sunbathe. The public access stairs are located just after turning on Latigo Shore Drive. There are no public restrooms or restaurants at Latigo so bring your own food and drink.
