I love my private beach days as an LA native and spent a lot of my weekdays in Malibu in 2024-2025…read morewhile working there. Since I never had the chance to explore the beaches there, I decided to drive down from WeHo and spend my afternoon here. It's genuinely a hidden gem, tucked away in a residential neighborhood and "hard to find" in a special and earnest way. The waves were beautiful, people were swimming in the waters even on a gloomy day and I was able to lounge and enjoy my book. The only downside is the lack of restrooms, but parking is relatively easy!

Absolutely stunning beautiful Beach. Many beautiful rocks and the sand is super soft and a…read morebeautiful off-white color. I usually carry my wagon with me with blankets and pillows and the necessities so after observing how many stairs there were to get down to the beach decided to go elsewhere. But if you have very little to carry, I recommend this stunning beach. Not too crowded at all.

We've been coming to Sycamore Cove Beach for a while now, and it's one of our favorite places. It's…read moredog-friendly, clean, and perfect for spending the whole day by the ocean. There are picnic tables, BBQ grills, restrooms, changing rooms, outdoor foot rinse stations, and plenty of parking (just don't forget to pay, as parking enforcement is active). We also love the movable fire pits for evening bonfires by the beach. One thing to keep in mind: there aren't any grocery stores nearby, so it's best to bring everything you need before you arrive. My only request to other visitors: please don't leave bones or food scraps in the sand. Many people bring their dogs here, and they can easily eat something dangerous, which could make them sick or even cause them to choke. Overall, it's a beautiful, clean, and relaxing beach that we always enjoy coming back to.

Nice area. Didn't make it to the beach because we got distracted with the scenery. There were two…read moredogs just enjoying the bird and chasing them so we got distracted watching them.

Beautiful hike! You can't beat the views!…read more I wanted to check Corral Canyon for a while in Malibu and went recently for my birthday. We parked on the PCH passed Malibu Seafood (watch where you park, cops are serious in this area, they were hunting to give tickets to people when we went!). We walked into Malibu Seafood parking lot, there is a sign and you start a hike. You can check various trails, we stayed on the main path, which is tight and there is vegetation on both sides, so long pants are important as is sunscreen and water due to lack of shade. There weren't too many people, the views are incredible, the Pacific ocean shines in the horizon and Malibu coastline is gorgeous. We saw a few hawks flying above. We stayed on the trail, the chimney comes up fast, then kept going for a while and we did take a left at the fork and the views got better and better! Whatever trail you take, you won't get lost since this is a loop. Around 2 miles hike, not easy, but not strenuous, I'd call it moderate, good exercise, but not too hard. I can't take the images of the view out of my head. I'd do the hike it again in a heartbeat! It was a great way to spend my birthday! And of coursed we rewarded ourselves at Malibu Seafood with a nice meal since this b-day girl deserved it with the hike and all!

Amazing hike. Been doing this one for a few years now. Only did the full loop once because we lazy…read more Parking is paid with Porto potties. Or you can park on pch right next to the Malibu seafood place for free. If you come before 9 you should be ok. Make sure you have a front license plate!! We got a ticket once for not having one.. crazy. Very dog friendly hike, lots of hills so it's not easy, well marked trails. We like going right for everything. There's a small stream crossing due to all the rain so it's possible your feet may get wet and the dogs will be filthy. Make sure you give them flea and tick medicine! We went on February thinking it was ok, cold rainy... came home and there was a tick on my dogs ear!! Fun hike overall! Trail just keeps going up so you don't get that gratification until you make it to the tip for the whole loop

Beautiful Area to enjoy the nature and walk around…read more Pros: Different trails with various terrains so everybody can enjoy Point Dume! The nature preserve is clean and walkways are maintained and clear! Loved hearing seals nearby and the birds chirping as they flew overhead.

So if your going prepare to pack up and leaveYou would think is a Public Place for everyone to enjoy. The park is big enough to close an area for the kids n SHARE the rest and rotated around, Not the case they take OVER THE WHOLE AREA The camp needs to be a bit nicer when limiting such a big area to share with the rest (Two more people) my son a little 5year old! Is not that busy, still they want the park to themselves

I have been here a couple of times and it has been on weekdays so it has not been as crowded. Of course with summer here it's pretty much booked up all the time. During my stays the park rangers have always been excellent and the campground has been kept up well. I am always thankful that the bathrooms and showers have always been clean. This is a campground that I will continue to enjoy with my family.

One of the best places to camp in Los Angeles county for sure…read more Leo Carrillo holds so many memories and fun times with friends. From hiking paths to the general store. Tenting in the outdoors, roasting smores (vegan for me) and telling fun stories at night time. Easy hookups if need be - restrooms easy to access. If you know about campgrounds you know it's best to bring food, water, snacks, flashlights and essentials (including extra batteries and/or battery packs. Some spaces are larger than others just like any campsite to accommodate different size groups and or vehicles. Weather is nice and cool off the coast and breezy at night. Definitely low in the fall and winter months. The fire in 2018 causes some damage and structure losses, mainly to the larger spaces - but they were able to reopen about half a year later after the clean up and clearing of debris. Rainy seasons in L.A. have definitely help bring Malibu and Leo Carrillo Campground back to life for sure. It's roughly $45 a night but up to $60 a night with electric. It's right across from Leo Carrillo State Park/Malibu park meets super scenic beach area (swimming, surfing and beach activities are allowed). Vintage Grocers and Pavilions are the closest large grocery stores in the area. Their general store only carries basic camping necessities, ice, and snacks. Gates close at 10:00 PM daily with quiet hours until 6AM, gates reopen at 8AM. You can check in after 2PM and out by noon or sooner for a partial refund. Q Tip: Little to no cell service or data for most major carries/networks. Enjoy the outdoors :)

It's a 5 mile hike with nice views and you can see around 4 waterfalls through the trails from far.

The Waterfall is cool to see but it's challenging to get there since you need to climb lots of rocks to get closer. Enjoy the trails and please leave no trace.
