Malibu Lagoon State Beach
Malibu Lagoon State Beach Review
Bird-watchers, take note: in this 5-acre marshy area you can spot egrets, blue herons, avocets, and gulls. (You need to stay on the boardwalks so as not to disturb their habitats.) The path leads out to a rocky stretch of Surfrider Beach and makes for a pleasant stroll. You're also likely to spot a variety of marine life. Look for the signs to help identify these sometimes exotic-looking creatures. The lagoon is particularly enjoyable in the early morning and at sunset. The parking lot has limited hours, but street-side parking is usually available at off-peak times. Amenities: parking. Best for: sunset; walking.
