  • Comment: For a Wikipedia article to be published, it must be notable. Something is notable if it has significant coverage in several independent, reliable sources. A source is generally considered to be reliable if it has some clear editorial standards, including fact checking. In the "In popular culture" section, only LatLong.net mentions this beach, but that source appears to be of dubious reliability. None of the other sources mention this beach. I would delete that section. Of the remaining three sources, Google Maps and californiabeaches.com both allow anyone to contribute, so they are not reliable, and the page of the state park website cited does not mention this particular beach. voorts (talk/contributions) 21:34, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: I've no doubt this beach exists, but that's not enough to warrant inclusion. The sources cited provide no evidence of notability, or indeed much meaningful content (raising the question where is all this information coming from?). DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:30, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

Playa San Juan Leighton (34°02′18″N 118°52′51″W / 34.038396°N 118.880931°W / 34.038396; -118.880931) is a secluded section of beach beneath the bluffs of Malibu on the Pacific Ocean in Malibu, Los Angeles, California, United States.[1] It is an unofficial "pocket beach" located within part of the Robert H. Meyer Memorial State Beach.[2] The secret cove is located between La Piedra to the north, and El Matador to the South.[3][4]

Access

[edit]

There is no direct access to Playa San Juan Leighton. The land above the bluffs is privately owned and consists mostly of single-family residential homes. The only non-residential property in the vicinity is the Los Angeles County Fire Department Station 99, which is to the North along the California State Route 1. During high tide, the beach is inaccessible from the sand. The only way to get there (or out of there) is by climbing over the rocks to La Peidra.[5]

[edit]

Several films and movies have been filmed at the beach, including Baywatch,[6] HBO series Euphoria,[7] House of the Dragon,[8] and Westworld.[9]
