About This Beach
Sycamore Cove Beach in Malibu offers a blend of natural beauty and convenient amenities. Nestled in a picturesque cove with rugged cliffs and sycamore trees, it provides a more tranquil escape compared to busier Malibu beaches. Visitors enjoy its calm waters (though currents can be stronger in some areas), abundant picnic areas with BBQ grills and fire pits, and relatively close parking. While restrooms are available, their cleanliness is a recurring concern.
