The City of Malibu is working closely with Caltrans and other state and regional partners to address rapidly worsening coastal erosion threatening Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) in the Palisades Fire burn area. While Caltrans has taken important interim steps to protect the roadway, the City continues to urge the agency to move quickly on permanent stabilization measures to protect public safety and critical infrastructure.



Immediately following the Palisades Fire, the City initiated an investigation of conditions along the PCH corridor and has been conducting rigorous field observations, documenting active erosion, coordinating emergency protective measures, and bringing together the agencies responsible for the roadway and utilities beneath it.



Left unaddressed, the erosion trend will continue to accelerate, removing the material that supports the roadway embankment. The onset of El Niño conditions this storm season significantly raises the likelihood of heavy rainfall, high surf and wave events that could compress months of expected erosion into a single storm cycle. The collaborative approach to address this impending situation with all agencies will help to mitigate roadway failure.



WHAT ACTIONS THE CITY HAS TAKEN To date, the City has done everything within its authority to document these conditions and work with our agency partners to allow everyone to move quickly to permanently stabilize PCH, including:

Conducted joint field observations with Caltrans at all 16 red-tagged High-Priority parcels posing immediate roadway risk.

Coordinated directly with Caltrans District 7, Los Angeles County Waterworks District No. 29, and SoCalGas to assess utility conditions.

Committed City staff to monitor of affected parcels and direct outreach to every High-Priority property owner.

Provided support through the rebuild centers for all affected property owners.

Briefed Los Angeles County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath's Office on all issues related to the Palisades Fire and rebuilding efforts.

Briefed the Governor's Office of Los Angeles Recovery on conditions along PCH, including coastal erosion issues.

Westward Beach Road, which provides vehicle access to Point Dume Beach, is closed until further notice due to severe erosion caused by recent high tides and surf. There is currently no estimated reopening date.

Visitors are reminded not to cross safety cones, caution tape, or barriers. The bluff edge is unstable, with erosion creating drop-offs of up to 8 feet in some locations. Entering closed areas could result in serious injury.

In addition, Restrooms 1, 2, and 3 remain closed after erosion damaged the water line and water meter serving the facilities. Temporary chemical toilets and hand-washing stations are available nearby.

The Los Angeles County Department of Beaches and Harbors and Los Angeles County Public Works are assessing the damage.

Updates will be posted as additional information becomes available.
