El Matador State Beach

Watch the beautiful coastal view at El Matador State Beach with a loved one, make memories and dive into the refreshing ocean. At around 6 p.m. the sunset begins, creating a mesmerizing blend of warm colors. One thing to keep in mind is that parking is $8 and there are only 20 spots in the lot. However, you can park at the free street parking along the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH). The beach is open all week. It is recommended to visit during daylight hours since there are steep trails and stairs.

Address: 32350 Pacific Coast Hwy, Malibu, CA 90265

Natalie Vo, a sophomore, is on the staff of The Mirror, the award-winning student newspaper and website at Van Nuys High School in Los Angeles. This is her first year of journalism, and she has many hobbies, including dancing, writing and listening to music. Her most recent favorite artists are Kendrick Lamar, The Marías, J. Cole and Laufey. Her playlist is quite eclectic. Her interests include games. Back in the day, in her prime, she was quite remarkable at first-person shooter games. It was like a passion to her. She loved it mainly not to win but to have fun and continue getting better. Even though she plays a lot of games, she is still able to focus on school. Speaking of school, her dream college is UC San Diego or just any decent college she can be accepted to. She wants to major in nursing or psychology so that she can make a good amount of money to continue the other things she loves doing for fun. Vo has a shopping addiction, spending money left and right. As time passes, she wants to volunteer when she turns 16, which would be near the end of this year. Volunteering at an animal shelter has been one of her goals. She wants to make sure animals are being taken care of and are safe. She looks forward to being included to help out in the student newspaper, and she wants others to know that you can still do the things you love as long as you work hard and continue pushing.
