Broad Beach
Prestigious, coastal, and private ocean views
Just west of Zuma Beach, Broad Beach is one of Western Malibu’s most prestigious coastal enclaves. This quiet, beachfront community stretches along Pacific Coast Highway and features wide lots that provide both privacy and stunning ocean views, offering a rare combination of exclusivity and natural beauty.
Broad Beach delivers the quintessential Southern California coastal lifestyle. Homes range from charming beach cottages to sleek, modern estates, many with direct beach access. Residents enjoy surfing, sunbathing, and wildlife spotting, with whales and dolphins often visible offshore. South-facing decks and patios provide uninterrupted ocean views and spectacular sunsets, making every day on Broad Beach feel like a retreat.
As erosion began to narrow the shoreline, homeowners took proactive measures to protect their properties while preserving the character of the beach. By 2010, emergency permits allowed the construction of a rock revetment, and in 2011, the Broad Beach GHAD (Geologic Hazard Abatement District) was formed to fund ongoing coastal protection. The GHAD has since overseen large-scale sand replenishment projects, approved by the California Coastal Commission, ensuring that Broad Beach remains a beautiful and sustainable part of Malibu’s coastline.
