Paradise Cove
Paradise Cove is a legendary Malibu anchorage tucked into a sheltered sandy cove along Pacific Coast Highway, where you drop the hook and take the dinghy ashore to one of Southern California's most iconic stretches of beach. The Paradise Cove Beach Café sits right on the sand, serving up classic California fare with the Pacific stretching out in front of you — it's as good as beach dining gets.
