Beach Information
Special Comments: Surfrider Beach is one of the most famous surfing spots in the world. Just north of the Malibu Pier. The first point produces some of the best longboarding waves in the country. The summer south swells can attract hundreds of surfers to the lineup at Surfrider Beach. There are two beach entrances. First Point has a staircase that leads to the beach and Third Point offers a nice quarter-mile trail through the lagoon to the beach. The lagoon was created by the run-off from Malibu Canyon and is a bird sanctuary.
Food/dining: A variety of fast food and nice restaurants are located on PCH.
Restrooms: Restrooms with showers are located at First Point. However, they also are being renovated in 2000. Portable restrooms are also on the north end of the beach by Third Point.
