Description: Canfield's Big Rock Cafe occupied the Moonshadows location on the Pacific Coast Highway, between Big Rock Drive and Las Flores Canyon, during the 1950s. It was owned by Harry Canfield, whose Malibu Trading Post Cafe--at the other end of Malibu--burned down in 1949. This photo postcard shows diners in an interior view. On reverse: 20356 W. Pacific Coast Highway, Malibu, California. The Poop Deck. Where the guests relax over a cocktail and watch the birds and everchanging moods of the ocean. At nights huge lights play upon the water, fascinating the guests.
