🌊 Escondido Beach
Neighborhood Overview
Tucked just off Pacific Coast Highway near Paradise Cove, Escondido Beach is a hidden gem among Malibu’s beachfront communities. With its name meaning “hidden” in Spanish, Escondido truly lives up to its name — offering seclusion, luxury, and direct beach access with far less foot traffic than other oceanfront areas.
This highly sought-after enclave is home to a mix of architecturally distinct beachfront estates and charming beach cottages. Many homes sit directly on the sand or on the coveted Escondido Beach Road, a quiet lane that offers rare deeded beach access for inland homes. Its proximity to Geoffrey’s, Paradise Cove Beach Café, and the Malibu Country Mart makes it both a peaceful retreat and a convenient launch point for lifestyle amenities.
