At the end of a private road in Malibu’s most exclusive beachfront enclave, Paradise Cove Beach Cafe sits directly on a pristine Malibu beach that has appeared in more films and television shows than almost any other location in California. Fresh seafood, cold cocktails, and the extraordinary experience of eating on an actual private Malibu beach — the parking fee is steep but includes access to the sand, which is worth every penny on a clear California day.
