El Nido (Spanish for "The Nest") is a residential neighborhood in Corral Canyon in unincorporated Los Angeles County, California, United States. The community, originally developed in the 1920s,[1] is in the Santa Monica Mountains along the northern border of Malibu.[2] There are two developments in Corral Canyon, El Nido is the lower of the two.[3] The other was known as Newell in 1958[4] and has more recently been known as Malibu Bowl.[5] The El Nido houses look down on Solstice Canyon, the so-called "Mystery Silo" (used by TRW and JPL scientists in the mid-20th-century for testing of satellite equipment away from sources of electromagnetic interference), and a long-disused tract owned by the DWP that is prone to landslides.[6] There are 5.2 homes per acre in El Nido.[7]
The 2007 Corral Canyon fire destroyed 53 homes including a number in El Nido.[8]
The Malibu El Nido is not to be confused with the Redondo Beach El Nido, along the former Hawthorne–El Nido Line of the Pacific Electric railway.
