Encinal Canyon (Malibu)
Encinal Canyon ascends from Pacific Coast Highway (PCH), winding about seven miles up through Malibu’s “wine country” until it eventually connects with the Mulholland Highway. Between large tracts of undeveloped land, gated residential estates with pools and spectacular ocean views enjoy an almost rural isolation. Below Encinal Canyon, a stretch of coastline on the ocean side of PCH is known as Encinal Bluffs. Along this quiet shore, the homes enjoy remarkable ocean and island views.
