Hey, Indiana Jones. This is the beach for you with more than a mile of tide pools and sea caves to explore. A 28-mile drive up PCH from Santa Monica, this Malibu beach even has its own visitor center. Read more

Leo Carrillo Beach was used in Inception (2010) for filming of the scene in which Cobb and Mal build sand castles . Note the building collapse as they demolish the corresponding sandcastle.

Beautiful, isolated, and dog-friendly beach . Dogs are not usually allowed at California State Park beaches , so this is very nice for our four-legged friends.

Trails.com

The beach is stabilized to some extent by minor rocky breaks in the shoreline & by extensive kelp beds offshore. At Sequit Point you’ll find good surfing , swimming , skin diving & cave/cove clusters. Read more

The rocks nearby can be seen in Gidget, Beach Blanket Bingo , Grease, The Karate Kid and the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie , when Keira Knightley gets Johnny Depp drunk on rum .

Look out for the guy who likes to paddle around you. Had to set him straight today because it doesn't matter if it's your local spot you still need to practice proper surfing edict:)

Local glamping spot! Clean bathroom , close to beach and nice weather.

$12 parking . Bring your dogs but keep North of Tower 3. And they have to stay on a leash...at least they allow pets ????????????
