El Matador Beach

About

El Matador State Beach is one of three small coves in Robert H. Meyer Memorial State Beach, on Malibu's western stretch. A steep staircase leads down from the clifftop lot to a beach dotted with sea stacks and sea caves, best at low tide. It's a favorite for wedding and portrait shoots and gets busy before sunset; the lot is small and paid, and the stairs are steep, so wear good shoes.

Jasmine says

Boulders, sea caves, sunset.

Malibu's most photogenic beach;
the stairs are a bit steep, so wear good shoes.

Get there early for golden hour,
as every photographer knows.

Not Malibu Pier. The Malibu that actually stops you in your tracks.
