Puerco Beach is one of the quiet "Malibu Road beaches" in central Malibu, a narrow residential strand reached by stair-access points between the homes off Malibu Road. Like its neighbor Amarillo, it stays uncrowded and low-key, with public wet sand for swimming and walking below the private frontage. Facilities are nonexistent and parking is limited, so it draws mostly locals and those seeking a calmer alternative to the big beaches.
