Latigo Shore Drive connects with Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) just north of Corral Canyon, running parallel to the highway as it approaches the shoreline. Originally part of the Roosevelt Highway, Latigo Shore Drive was later rerouted and renamed PCH. Notably, Rindge built four houses along this scenic route, one of which served as the exterior setting for the classic 1945 film "Mildred Pierce."
This area is home to an array of luxury beachfront properties, many featuring private access to the beach. Celebrities, politicians, and affluent individuals inhabit these exclusive residences, making Latigo Shore Drive one of Malibu's most sought-after neighborhoods.
Latigo Beach, located along the drive, is a popular destination for swimming, sunbathing, and relaxation. Known for its clear waters, excellent surf conditions, and stunning ocean views, it offers a perfect retreat for beachgoers.
The history of Latigo Shore Drive is rich, having once been inhabited by the Chumash people. In the 1800s, Spanish settlers established a cattle ranch in the area, and it later became significant in the early 20th century oil and gas industry, with drilling platforms and wells scattered throughout.
Today, Latigo Shore Drive features the Tivoli Cove Condominiums as well as stunning ocean view homes on both sides of the road. Facing southeast and sheltered by Latigo Point, the beach may reveal tide pools at low tide. At the end of Latigo Shore Drive, perched on a bluff, lies the Gulls Way compound, a popular filming location in the past, once owned by Dick Clark, and now a favored venue for weddings.
