About Carbon Beach – East Access in Malibu, California

Carbon Beach is a long south-facing beach in front of stunningbeachfront homes in Eastern Malibu. This mile-long beach is between the Malibu Pier at Surfrider Beach and Carbon Canyon Road.

Carbon Beach has been nicknamed “Billionaire’s Beach” because of the lavish houses owned by famous celebrities and CEO’s that have been built right at the water’s edge.

This eastern access to Carbon Beach has been called the David Geffen Access because it is next to his house and because he fought for years to deny a public easem*nt at this location. In 2007 David agreed to provide a public beach access next to his large property along Pacific Coast Highway. You’ll find this open gate at the address 22126 PCH in Malibu.

Carbon Beach is a gradually sloping beach which makes it great for taking off your shoes and kicking around in the shallow surf. Just note that at high tides the beach is mostly, if not all, wet.

This eastern section of Carbon Beach is a smooth sandy beach that is fine for walking and sunbathing if you don’t mind the lack of solitude. Houses towering over the beach is typical of many Malibu beaches.

The California Coastal Commission publishes a satellite photo map that shows all the beach easem*nts for Carbon Beach, but since this beach is all wet at high tide, the entire beach surface is public.

Look for parking spaces along the highway and be careful not to block any garages or driveways. However, note that Geffen built a fake double garage door façade on his house next to the gate to trick people and keep them from parking in legal public parking spaces (note that it’s so fake, including curb cuts, that you could actually get towed for parking there as the police are fooled too).
