Broad Beach Real Estate
Further up the Malibu coast from Point Dume and Zuma, Broad Beach is an incredible place to escape the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles. Broad Beach’s coastline is home to beautiful scenery with luxury homes along the beach-front and behind rolling sand dunes set back from the ocean. Across the Pacific Coast Highway from Trancas Shopping Center, Broad Beach is the community hub of western Malibu. The shopping center has a Starbucks, gas station, and coming soon, Erewhon Natural Foods market amongst other small-time local retailers that serve Broad Beach residents.
Broad Beach real estate sits on an immaculate coastline that embodies serenity with its harmony of beautiful rock formations and fine sand beaches. Dolphins and whales are often spotted offshore Broad Beach. The rolling dunes covered in sea grass and the melodic sounds of the crashing waves make a meditative and calming environment for Broad Beach residents. Since Broad Beach has a narrower stretch of sand than some of the other beach real estate in Malibu, homeowners have erected a sea-wall in front of the rolling dunes to protect the priceless Broad Beach real estate.
Trancas and Broad Beach have long been known to have an artistic influence. Many famous musicians of the 60s and 70s made this scenic stretch of Malibu coastline their primary hang out. Bob Dylan, Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles and others worked and played up the road from Broad Beach, even recording at the legendary in-home music studio, Shangri-La. At Victoria Point, which juts out on the westernmost stretch of Broad Beach, famed modernist architect John Lautner has a showcase home as a tribute to the beauty and symmetry of Malibu. It’s curved lines and epic walls of glass are a prime landmark amongst Broad Beach real estate.
Broad Beach has certainly transformed since its quaint and counter-cultural early days. Today, Broad Beach is known for its immaculate and luxurious beach homes, which sit right against the surf. The Broad Beach neighborhood has an eclectic mix of new homes, classic styles, and undeveloped property. Broad Beach road runs parallel and ocean-side of the Pacific Coast Highway, with homes on both sides of the road. Prominent neighbors include Pierce Brosnan, Robert Redford, and Ali MacGraw.
