Leo Carrillo State Beach

Intermediate Reef break Rock bottom Peels both 0.6–2.4 m Mid tide

A scenic, reef-and-sand state beach in the Malibu hills with scattered peaks that pick up west swell before it reaches town. Racy, hollow little waves between the rocks and a rugged, wild feel despite the highway above.
