Welcome to Broad Beach

The beach itself makes for a gorgeous walking trail during low tide and offers magnificent ocean views during high tide. Residents in this coastal community tend to live a laidback life of luxury.
Made up of little over 100 homes, Broad Beach is known for its exclusivity and attracts many wealthy businessmen and women. This exclusive enclave is also popular with notable entertainment industry personalities and executives. Many well-known celebrities have called Broad Beach home over the years, including Frank Sinatra, Carroll O'Connor, Danny De Vito, and Sylvester Stallone.

Athletically-minded individuals and outdoor enthusiasts will also find lots to love in this beach town thanks to its proximity to the water and mountains. Locals are particularly fond of the ability to live in the lap of luxury while also residing mere steps away from the secluded beach.
As most homes sit on spacious lots, don't be surprised if you see lots of pools, basketball courts, guest suites, and more. Plus, outdoor patios are a great place to sit and enjoy the natural sunlight and sea breeze.

Things to Do
Broad Beach's main attractions are the plentiful natural landscapes. Residents take full advantage of the local beaches, canyons, and parks. Broad Beach (from which the town gets its name) is technically a public beach, but the best way to get to the sand is by owning a home. Because of its secluded nature, beach traffic is usually low, appealing to locals who enjoy the area’s peaceful nature.
Just a short trip down the PCH is Zuma Beach, one of Malibu's most popular beaches with the best surf well around. If you get tired of the beach and want to put a little pep in your step, head to
Solstice Canyon and take in the beautiful landscapes and wildlife as you hike through the mountain trails.
