Great place for relaxing. Lots of rocks!There is a small hike for the beach access so make sure to wear good shoes for the traction. The parking lot is good enough for 20 cars, which is good because that makes the place not too crowded. $10 all day parking or $3 an hour.Give it a try, La Piedra Beach is a pretty nice spot!!Playa La Piedra es un hermoso lugar para ir a relajarse y divertirse un rato buscando cangrejos y caracoles entre las piedras. Me gusto porque no hay mucha gente ya que no es una playa muy popular, pero en mi opinion es una playa muy bonita.

We’d been going to El Matador for years until Instagram ruined it. La Piedra is much better for the bigger beach and less amount of people. The hike is a little steep, so be careful. There’s rocks in the water too, so it’s not the best for body surfing. It’s great for relaxing!

The pros is that there are not a lot of people here, and everyone is pretty spread out. Cute little tide pool area. The cons is that the beach is covered in ants no matter where you sit, and they will bite you. Not the best views.

Weve been coming here for years and the beach is beautiful and peaceful. Its not crowded during the weekday, but weekends are full by noon. People tend to spread out and keep their distance anyway. The water is cold, as you would expect, but still fun to play in. The parking lot fills up by mid-morning and the portable toilets are gross. I dont think they clean them very often. On this particular occasion, trash was everywhere in the parking lot and the toilets were stacked high if you know what I mean. Super gross!

Really nice place and never crowded.

Its beautiful there and quite peaceful, if you get there early enough.

Its a nice spot for the locals to explore. Has a small hike for the beach access. And a not so popular beach side makes it a great spot to hang out in these times.Has a nice bench spot for a great picnic/meal with uour family.The beach has a decent parking lot with space for about 15 cars. Pay station based parking model. The location doesnt have any restrooms though. I think i did spot a porta-porty, but that is it.

Private and beautiful. You will hike down steep stairs then youll end up at a ladder. Wear good shoes for traction. Be sure to leave the beach at sunset or youll be in the dark and high tide.

Nice place. Always full though. I would suggest Zuma. More parking

Beautiful quiet beach. A short hike down from the cliff

Beautiful views of the ocean and sunset from top of the high cliffs..... cannot go down to ocean level.....

La Piedra is a great park to go hiking and get a view of the Pacific. Make sure you bring comfortable hiking shoes, as the trails can be steep......but it’s all worth it once the view expands and you see the ocean.Here is a good hint.....go near sundown. But leave yourself enough time to get back up to the parking lot before the sun is fully set......it gets really dark and thee is no lighting.

This of course is an amazing Beach Rocky Cliff secluded absolutely beautiful

On Sunday Mornings, My family and I used to bring Starbucks to this park and pitch a blanket on the edge of the cliff (bushes hide the path). We would see families of Dolphins while gaggles of noisy green Parrots would squawk by and the sweet smell of the sea air was overwhelming. Walking down to the beach is a short walk but worth it, especially at sunset. Good times.

Had a nice secluded spot at the top of the mountain over looking the beach having a picnic on a picnic table.

Perfect place to get away.

So beautiful and peaceful at the same time

Such a gorgeous beach and a bit quieter than the ones down the way.

Same great taste since 1995

Went around sunset on Saturday and we had the beach to ourselves for a while. Laid out a large towl and watched the sunset while eating some fresh cherries. (Sub for some other easy to eat fruit if theyre not in season) We like to watch all the models and their photographers chase the sun as it disappears.

It was awesome the only inconvenience Was that the parking lot was so full that I parked outside in the street and I have got a ticket =(

Great beach. The small hike down is worth it. Doesnt get as crowded as zuma or some of the other beaches

Beautiful beach. Pay to park. A hike back up to the car, but worth it!

Beautiful beach....just one thing you have to hike to get to it . I dont recommend that you take a lot of stuff .

Great quite spot, picnic area and a trail leading to the water

Lovely spot for pictures and just chilling

A very nice secluded beach, one of the three adjacent pocket beaches that are part of the California state park system. Its basically a goat trail down to the ocean from the parking lot (you have to pay for parking, or will get ticketed), but once you get to the rocks and sand you can take a long walk at low tide. I suggest not going very far if the tide is coming in, or you could get stuck (or very wet) and not able to get back to your car in the parking lot. There are no amenities here except a nasty looking portapotty

Tried to go to El Matador beach (again) and ended up at this beach instead after seeing it on the go-around looking for parking. While the former beach was so packed they blocked the parking lot, this one had tons of open spaces both inside the paid lot and right next door on Hwy 1. At high tide when I was there about a half-mile of beach is accessible - I assume at low tide you can go further. Only about a dozen people down there on a Saturday. Great area.

I love this place! Not too many people out there. Its not the most accessible. You have to walk down the bluff but there is a path and stairs. Dangerous if its raining though. The beach has lots of rocks which means lots of tide pools. Really fun for seeing cool sea creatures or collecting shells.

Not listed on the website link. It is actually within Robert H. Meyer Memorial State Beach (which IS listed on the website). Google wont let me make the address /name change because it doesnt actually have a physical address.

Its not easy to get there. You need hiking shoes for sure. Its not kept up, there was seaweed all over the sand, EVERYWHERE. There was even a washed up seal carcass decaying on the rocks. It is fairly remote so not a lot of people. Overall not worth it for me, too much of a struggle just to get down there.

Great beach that is quiet and away from the crowds.

Beautiful place to watch the sunset

Really quiet beach. We were the only people all morning on a Thursday and just a few more people showed up in the afternoon. A group of workers were building a new trail down all day so it looks like itll be a little bit easier going. Dont plan on bringing anything more than you can carry though as it is still a steep and narrow trail. Parking is $10 all day and if you arent up for the hike theres a really nice bench at the top where you can still enjoy the view.

Nice place to get away

So beautiful. Very quite.

Really amazing private beach

Not many people. A bit of a hike to get to. Limited parking. Not the best place for wading in the water. More suited for surfing.

Very clean and beautiful. Bathrooms need more maintenance though. Make sure to bring your own toilet paper and they charge for parking so be prepared for that !

It has an impressive views from the top of the hill to the ocean,,is ideal to spend the day and have lonche there,,

Beautiful view. Few parking spaces and saw picnic tables.

Beautiful

Clean and beautiful beach

A beautiful small beach! Warning: access to the beach itself requires a short hike that could potentially be very difficult for an old or infirm person. The access path I used ended in a wooden ladder which would have been difficult for me to descend with my bag of beach gear if I hadnt had someone there to help me.

Wonderful Beach to go and visit with your kids family and girlfriend and just the wonderful play some general halleck is that anybody if they want to go to a beach thats protected and very safe

The beach is rocky and super difficult to actually get to. You have to hike down a small path thats covered in plants and weeds and finally come to a death trap of a ladder that is just as sketchy as it looks. If you have kids, I definitely wouldnt recommend this beach, also I wouldnt spend the $9 parking here, Id go find another more accessible beach.

Super lovely!

Its a bit tricky getting down to, the trail is behind the porta-john, and quite steep at the beginning and the end but it was definitely worth the short hike. I went on the 4th of July and there was still room in the parking lot, which will cost you $10.00 to park in till sundown (7:50 pm or so in the summer) when the lot closes. If its full theres usually plenty of street parking. Its a beautiful beach.

Great..

Beautiful beach. But a bi*** to get to. Still worth the drive.

Small ,beautifuland never crowded you wouldnt even know its there ad you drive past it

Tiny, hard to park.

La Piedra is a great lookout, beach is great too only if you are in for a hike! A steep adventure, not a place for the light adventurous type

The best thing to do in malibu

Busy parking lot

Hard to access

Good

Quiet before 4pm...gorgeous coastline...pack minimal and take out your trash please keep our ocean clean! Dont try to go past rocks after tide comes in.

The scene is way out gorgeous

Love it

The parking is small but there was nobody there. But be prepared to do some climbing and incline walking but once you get to the beach its well worth it very beautiful and secluded

Easy parking on a crowded beach day. A slightly adventurous trek down to the beach adds to the fun. A nice sandy beach to enjoy.

Nice clean beach. Usually not busy at all with ample parking. Great views too.

No parking

Gets really busy during summer and you have to park on PCH as parking lot is tiny.

Lovely beach, awesome weather and decently secluded. Would recommend to go again. The waves are HUGE here.

Gorgeous Beach. Gaming Rocks. Amazing Sunsets!

It it not very well kept up. The path to the beach is in disrepair and had litter.

Very clean state park. Parking is limited but there is ample parking on the street.

Absolutely Beautiful. Cliffs leading to the water and amazing views.

Great beach with low crowds, but tide comes up around 3:30pm

Had a great time. Few people on Labor Day Weekend. Tricky walk to beach.

You have to walk down to the beach on a narrow path overgrown with weeds

Great for quiet beach goes who dont like big crowds

Awesome view that is quiet and secluded a perfect mini get away from the hustle of the city

Beautiful, quiet place to enjoy life

Another good beach for run/walk, quiet - parking is free

Beautiful scene

Awesome beach

Be ready to almost die getting to the water.

La piedra does have beach access unlike the name says but its not an easy trail to go down or up on the scenery is absolutely beautiful but there are a lot of rocks on the beach and a lot of seaweed its definitely a good overflow beach next to el matador

Hiking trail to get down to the beach is easy, its a killer going back up.

Beautiful place

Beautiful, quiet

Nice and private compared to El Matador

Beautiful place

Beautiful beach the problem is getting there lol
