Sara Wan Trailhead at Corral Canyon

Short walk up the hillside. View from the top of the Pacific Ocean below is breathtaking. Could be windy and dusty so be properly suited up. Trail starts at the parking lot of Malibu Seafood Patio so you could get their famous fish and sticks after your hike. Or go across the highway under the bridge to enjoy the ocean.

Too good of a trail to miss. Adventurous for beginners.

Corral Canyon trail is a 2.5 mile loop trail which switchbacks through the coastal shrub above Malibu. The trail begins in the parking lot adjacent to Malibu Seafood. Parking is very limited and requires $8 fee. You can park on PCH but this can be difficult to find at busy times of the year. The trail crosses a small creek at the beginning, which was nearly dry when I went in July. The trail itsekf is hard-packed soil. The trail climbs to several hundred feet in elevation above the coast, providing an excellent panoramic view of the coast. A reasonably experienced hiker can complete this hike in under an hour. It offers enough challenge to rate it an easy to moderate hike.

Great location, clean and clear path. There’s no maps or directions but google maps shows the main path that is almost 3 miles but you can choose 2, 3, or 4 miles path. There are a small parking lot and you have to pay cash but you can park in street too that’s free. After hiking you can enjoy the good seafood place next to the start point.
