Situated in the heart of Malibu, the Leo Carillo State Park has a beautiful campground area that has exquisite beaches and offers an inexpensive way to find romance in Malibu.

What's more romantic than walking on a beach at sunset, cooking under the stars or a romantic picnic in a quiet meadow along the back country hiking trails?
