Spotlight on Big Rock: A Malibu Neighborhood

Big Rock

Big Rock is a gorgeous Malibu neighborhood named for the beach along its coastline: Big Rock Beach. Big Rock is one of the best places to live in Southern California, featuring breathtaking ocean views from nearly every property in the area and plenty of things to do within minutes. Located on the east side of Malibu, Big Rock is set away from the city's busiest areas so that residents enjoy a peaceful atmosphere and abundant natural beauty from the ocean and Tuna Canyon. Near enough to access Malibu's dining, shopping, and entertainment within minutes, this remains one of the town's more private and peaceful neighborhoods.

Things to Do in Big Rock

Close enough to walk or ride a bike, Moonshadows Malibu is the perfect place to enjoy dinner on the beach any time. The New American menu features hand-crafted cocktails, fresh seafood, and perfectly prepared steak, with panoramic ocean views from the light-filled dining room. Also serving brunch, Moonshadows is sure to become a favorite.

For Hawaiian food in a festive beachfront bar, stop by Duke's Malibu. Tiki drinks, ocean views, hula pie, and some of the best seafood you've ever had make this the perfect place to eat in Malibu.

Behind the homes in Big Rock lies beautiful Tuna Canyon Park, featuring Tuna Canyon Trailhead for a challenging hike while enjoying ocean breezes. Because the canyon borders much of the neighborhood, residents can expect protection from development that will change the atmosphere of Big Rock. The protected natural space provides a beautiful border.

To enjoy the beach, head to Big Rock or Las Tunas Beach. Big Rock Beach is a beautiful place to walk along the water but unsuitable for surfing and swimming. At Las Tunas Beach, just a few minutes away, you will find space to set up for the day, sunbathing and playing in the water.

Schools in Big Rock

Families in Big Rock can attend the excellent public schools in the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District. These well-funded schools are known for student success and are some of the best in the state. Remember, Malibu operates like a small town in many ways, with just three schools in the city limits: Malibu Elementary School, Webster Elementary, and Malibu High School.

Families who prefer a private education for their students will find many excellent personal school choices in Malibu.

Big Rock Real Estate

Big Rock is filled with large luxury homes featuring beautiful ocean views. Much like all of Malibu, you will find a variety of architectural styles in this multi-million dollar home, many featuring massive windows to maximize the breathtaking panoramic views. There are no condos or townhomes in this community and no buildable lots, though some people purchase a Big Rock property for its views and entirely redesign the house.
