We’re wrapping up our 3-year Malibu project, and to celebrate our public beaches one last time, we’re offering 3 (yes, three!) free mini-safaris. No sign-up required. All welcome!

What: Are you tired of Zuma and Surfrider? Want to find and use the the 20 miles of public beaches that are lined with private development? Our safaris will equip you with the advanced skills necessary to find and use the Malibu public beaches legally and safely. Activities include signwatching, trailblazing the public-private boundary, and a public easement potluck.

When: Choose 1 of the 3 start times (each lasts ~1Â 3/4Â hrs). Please do not plan to join mid-safari.

Where: Come to the public beach accessway between 22140-22126 Pacific Coast HighwayÂ (~.5 mis west of Carbon Canyon Rd. and ~1 mi. east of Malibu pier). Park on either side of the PCH (cross with caution), and walk through the accessway to the beach.Â (Or take the 534 PCH bus!–nearest stop is Carbon Canyon Rd.–Â www.metro.net.)

Please allow for plenty of time to find a parking spot, since availability of beach parking is unpredictable.

Tip:Â Want the easiest parking?–Try the 9am safari.

Rangers should arrive at the base of the accessway (on the beach–look for the uniform) to assemble each safari at least 15 minutes in advance of each start time. If you arrive early, you can walk on the wet sand anywhere, and on the dry sand (at least 10 ft. from the houses) on the FIRST 4 PROPERTIES TO THE LEFT (downcoast).Â Â Please do not use the dry sand upcoast or elsewhere.

Bring: Snack for the potluck (just for you), water if you need it, sun protection, and extra layer for warmth.

Please note:Â No bathroom available at meeting point–Try the fast-food restaurants just upcoast on the PCH.
Dogs, sadly, are not allowed on the beaches.

Hope to see you at the beach!

OurÂ Portable Ranger StationÂ is winging its way back from the 2009 International Architecture Biennale RotterdamÂ en route to Tijuana! Stop by Performing Public Space, curated by Owen Driggs, at La Casa de TÃºnel: Art Center from February 6 – March 21. Leave your transit behind and just walk across the border. Other artists in the show include Fallen Fruit, Lauren Bon, and Jane Tsong, among others.

The new year promises new investigations as well. We are currently working withÂ theÂ University of California’s InstituteÂ for Research in the Arts on a major project for the UC’s Natural Reserve System,Â returning to the Netherlands next summer to build a field guide for our trail system in Almere’s favorite vacant lot, andÂ continuing development of a series of programs for our very ownÂ Downtown Los Angeles.
Finally, thanks to support from the Coastal Conservancy, we will be wrapping up our highly successful Malibu Public Beaches program next month! The newly translated Spanish version of our informative map and guide is hot off the presses, and will be distributed throughout LA County and on the Metro 534 line, and of course, available on our website. Our very last public safari is tentatively scheduled for the last weekend in February. Stay tuned!

Ever onward,
