The food was terrific, the prices reasonable, the ocean views to die for! Plus, just getting here, it's at the end of a narrow road servicing a manufactured home community, is an adventure. A must stop for lunch or dinner if you are touring the Malibu area.

Came across this place by accident as I was looking for lunch whilst I was travelling up highway 1 for a glimpse of the views. This is the most idyllic of places. Calm, quiet and peaceful. To top it off the food in the restaurant is amazing. Car parking is pricey unless you eat in the restaurant and can park... More

I really appreciated this place. Secluded, not crowded and you can bring your own beer on the beach. After paying the 4 hour parking you can choose to eat at their restaurant or enjoy the beach with cooler in hand. Just no hard alcohol. We ate lunch then wife and I walked the beach by the cliffs. Awesome. Lunch was... More

After a day at the Santa Monica Pier CIRCUS, this was a WELCOME piece of quiet PARADISE! Nestled in a hidden little nook of beach in Malibu, this beach and restaurant is not to be missed! The seafood is amazing, the beach is pristine and the views are spectacular. There is not a better place to relax and unwind after... More

Went there on Sunday afternoon, as expected the parking was full so parked the car in another place as directed by the staff there, which was little far. After waling for around a mile, we reached at the beach. I found the beach better than Santa Monica as it was less crowded and you can sit, relax and enjoy your... More

The sense of being on water's edge is real at this property. You can walk outside after having a nice, relaxing lunch and meander up the beach! The ambiance is fun; the food is good; and, the service was great! Very attentive wait staff.

With all of the free beaches along PCH why pay $30.00 to park and enjoy a so-so beach? Even if you are forced to purchase a meal at the restaurant it feels like a shake down. Very limited parking and a closed pier. Having said that I did take some nice pictures but stayed only long enough to see that... More

We found Paradise Cove by accident, but loved its pristine sand, relaxed ambience and lovely view of the Malibu coast. get there before noon on sunny days or the parking bays fill up.The snacks available are great but not too cheap. Hey its Malibu, not Skegness.

Tonight was my 47th birthday. Party of 7. The restaurant could not fit us unless we sat by a table which was near an open door to the outside and the draft was horrendous for my 80 year old father. They would not close the door. So our party had no other option but to sit at 2 separate tables... More
