El Matador State Beach — photo spot in 32350 Pacific Coast Hwy, Malibu, CA 90265, USA
El Matador State Beach
Three small cliff-foot coves with dramatic sea stacks, arches and caves—ideal for cinematic coastal portraits, long exposures and silhouette shots. Best at golden hour or sunset for warm side-light and backlit sea spray. Bluff-top parking is limited and paid (metered; lot closes near sunset). Trail/stairs to sand are steep—travel light and wear good shoes. Weekday mornings are quieter; expect crowds in summer weekends.
