El Matador State Beach
I've been to every beach in LA County. El Matador is the one I take first-timers who want to see what Southern California beaches looked like before anyone built on them.
The most dramatic beach in the LA area. Sea stacks, sea caves, and almost no services — just the Pacific Coast Highway and the Pacific.
