About this site
Malibu Road refers to a stretch of coastline along the Pacific in Malibu, California, northwest of Santa Monica, where rocky points and kelp beds run along the shoreline below Pacific Coast Highway. Dive access along this part of the coast is typically from shore or small boat launches near the coastal bluffs. The reef here tops out at a maximum depth of around 9.1 metres, making it a shallow dive well suited to exploring the kelp and rocky structure close to the surface.
