El Matador Beach

Perhaps one of the most romantic spots in the city, El Matador Beach is located about 10 miles northwest of Malibu. Although a rugged path leads to the shore, once there you'll find beautiful rock formations, hidden caves, robust waves and some of the clearest water on the coast. The secluded beach also features plenty of peaceful coves, making it a great spot for couples to enjoy a quiet sunset picnic. Solitary and away from the hustle and bustle of Hollywood, visitors can relax along one of the most spectacular shorelines of Los Angeles. A popular spot for photo shoots, El Matador Beach attracts an eclectic crowd from models and surfers to tourists and locals.
