Las Tunas County Beach and Las Tunas State Beach are public beaches operated by the Los Angeles County Department of Beaches and Harbors in Malibu, California, United States.[1] Circa 1986, the beach was described as "little more than a dirt parking lot, a lifeguard station and a steep drop to the Pacific."[2] The beach is named for its proximity to Tuna Canyon Road;[2] las tunas are the fruit of the opuntia (prickly pear) cactus.
History
In 1926, 20 houses were washed off the beach by a major winter storm.[3][4] Natalie Talmadge owned a house at Las Tunas that burned in 1943.[5][6]
