Thornhill-Broome Beach North overlook

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here the wide wild beach stretches south for miles. Very little vegetation to slow down the often strong winds and the hills rising right behind on the other side of the coastal highway 1 can make this a barren experience, but the very basic campground is popular or just plain convenient, right off the road.

Escondido Beach

Highlight • Beach

Pretty and undeveloped quiet stretch of beach right off the Pacific Coast Hwy 1 without facilities or lifeguards. This access gate may be partly hidden by overhanging trees but it's just a few steps from the sidewalk to the sand. Escondido Beach extends westward along a narrow strip to the upscale Geffrey's Malibu restaurant. At the end is a second access but it has some 15 steps that make it less convenient for bikers.
