Latigo Beach is a small public beach in eastern Malibu, California, offering a tranquil and less crowded alternative to more famous breaks. The primary access is via a narrow staircase descending from Latigo Shore Drive, just off Pacific Coast Highway. Paddlers should park along the PCH, as parking on the private street is discouraged. The beach is a continuous strip of sand approximately one kilometer long, facing southeast and protected from westerly winds by Latigo Point, which can provide some shelter from prevailing coastal winds. The launch is a beach break, and the carry distance from the parked car to the water is moderate, involving the staircase descent. The beach has no facilities, so paddlers must be self-sufficient.

The water is noted for its clarity and some of the bluest hues in California. For paddlers, the key feature is a consistent right-hand point break with long, rolling waves suitable for SUP surfing, intermediate-friendly, especially during the spring and summer months when near-shore conditions are calmer. The waves can reach up to 10 feet. On days with minimal swell, the protected cove offers flat water for recreational paddling along the scenic shoreline. The beach is known for a laid-back, friendly vibe compared to the crowded and localized breaks nearby. Paddlers can explore west at low tide to view tide pools or walk along the shore to neighboring Escondido Beach and Dan Blocker Beach. Wildlife sightings can include seals. Water temperatures follow typical Southern California patterns, warming to an average of around 21.7°C (71°F) in September and cooling to about 14.6°C (58°F) in March. A notable hazard is the risk of sharks, common in the Pacific Ocean. There are no on-site rental facilities, so bringing your own equipment is necessary. Dogs are not permitted on the beach.
