Sea cave

Leo Carrillo State Park, Malibu, California is the closest Pacific Ocean beach to Thousand Oaks, California. It is accessible from California State Route 1. Once on the beach, an RV park, a mountainous beach with a sea cave, and a cove are available to the beachgoer. At low tide the tide pools can be explored.

If one travels the Pacific Coast Highway to get to the park, it appears less exceptional, and is quite easily ignored. However, this beach is the only one with a sea cave on the entire Santa Monica mountain range.

The park was named for the California actor, Leo Carrillo (1880-1961), who served on the State Parks commission.

Leo Carillo Beach's biggest claim to fame is as a popular location for photographers and movies, including Gidget (1959),The Karate Kid, The Craft, Point Break, The Usual Suspects, and Inception, not to mention Grease and the 2010 creature film Mega Shark Versus Crocosaurus.

It was featured in an episode of Huell Howser's TV series "California's Golden Parks."
