Top 50 things to do and attractions in Malibu

Iconic spot in Malibu. We walked the pier and then along the shoreline. We watched all the surfers try to catch some waves. I is a beautiful way to spend an evening. We did see some of the carnage from the wildfires driving to the pier but its been cleaned up well for the most part.

8️⃣ / 🔟 Hello, we were here. The Malibu Pier is a very beautiful place. A very fascinating and beautiful view of the ocean. Enjoyed my time here. Unfortunately slightly overcrowded. Good photo hotspot. Feel free to come here. We'd love to come back. See you next time. ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻

Good to walk on out to see the beach activity, the wooden walk is kind of bumpy. When I walked there the 2 restaurants at the end of the pier were closed. There were a lot of fishing along the pier but no activity. I did not know they caught any. But it is nice sunny and breezy and nice views.

It's only been a little over six months since the wildfires in January 2025, but the sight of burned houses in Malibu was heartbreaking, in stark contrast to the beautiful ocean. I hope that one day, homes will be built where everyone can live in peace, just like the beautiful ocean. Many surfers and families were enjoying the summer at the beautiful Malibu Beach. With uniformly high waves, it must be a recommended spot for surfers. There was also a delicious restaurant at the pier, so we enjoyed the beautiful ocean and a meal

Malibu Pier is nice... short, quiet and relaxed. As nice at it is, its short and feels like a walkway from one restaurant to another. You can fish and see the coast line of Malibu beach but its very relaxed ... and quiet. There is parking just outside and looks like there are two large gates at the entrance so they may close it at night.

The Malibu Pier is one of my favorite places to take a stroll, especially to watch the surfers at world-famous Surfrider Beach. The views up and down the coast are incredible, and it’s always a relaxing place to walk after appointments. Malibu Farm at the beginning of the pier is perfect for a meal or coffee with ocean views, and the pier has become even more of a community hub with the Dreamland/Aviator Nation 2025 Summer Concert Series. It’s the perfect blend of history, scenery, food, and local culture — a must-visit in Malibu.

I went there on Sunday 7/27/25 afternoon. Pier was not full and restaurants were open but not the one at the very end. There was a sign saying there will be a live music session next weekend. There was a significant line of people waiting to be seated on the patio at the Malibu Farm Restaurant. I haven’t tried the food there but seeing people waiting makes me want to eat there for sure. You can fish from the pier and the views are amazing. No cover to walk on the pier.

Malibu Country Mart is one of the best places to spend time in Malibu. It has such a great mix of shops, cafés, and outdoor spaces, and I love stopping by in between real estate appointments. The plaza is beautiful, walkable, and always well maintained, with plenty of spots to relax or grab a coffee. It’s also a favorite place to bring friends and clients because it really captures the Malibu lifestyle — casual, coastal, and welcoming. A classic Malibu destination for both locals and visitors.

Very nice spot surrounded by restaurants and stores. Perfect park in the middle for kids. Stroller friendly. Free parking.

**⭐ Warning to All Exotic Car Owners If your car doesn’t have a front license plate, be careful — you *will* get ticketed here. This shopping center is notorious for it. Parking enforcement hides behind bushes and tickets you the moment you leave your car. It cost me 58 dollars. It really ruins the experience, which is a shame because it’s otherwise a great place to visit — nice beach views, great restaurants, bars, and fun for the whole family. Just make sure you have your front plate on before you go!

Comfortable outdoor plaza with shade trees, umbrellas, seating, cool playground and interesting artwork, including the “Big Red” hammer. There’s a consciousness of naturalness to the mix, with some healthy menu items to choose from. Restaurants of the Mart range from simple snacks and meals to top notch cuisine and most provide al fresco dining options! Upscale shops are typically trendy and pricey. There’s plenty of parking with overflow parking along the east side of Cross Creek Road. Restrooms are located discreetly around to the west side, out of view of lounging patrons.

I've stopped going after they started giving $58 no front plate tickets to everybody. I've seen entire rows of cars with tickets, and the fine is double the LA fine. I will spend my money elsewhere.

I have been visiting Malibu Country Mart ever Sunday for the past few weeks to see all of the amazing cars that come and park up or drive through. It really is a fantastic meet up. Also there are a lot of very nice stores and restaurants.

We stop here on every trip to the Southern California area. It has lots of shops for clothing, shoes, accessories. Food and coffee are available also. Plenty of parking. Nice to walk around between the few different shopping areas to enjoy some nice Malibu weather.

This is my first time visiting this beautiful museum. I'm happy they protected the museum from the recent wild fire. The artifacts were in exceptional condition. I think next time I attend a group or semi private tour. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. This is a place to relax outside and walk into the museum at your own leisure. It is so serene with the view of the Pacific Ocean in the background.

This place is unreal. The setting along PCH just east of Malibu close to the ocean is amazing. Went late September on a Thursday. Got there at 10 AM as they were opening and stayed a little over 1.5 hours. Parking was easy and $25. Admission is free so the overpriced parking didnt feel that bad. The museum is excellent and has lots of good Greek and Roman paintings, sculptures, and other artifacts. Had an Egyptian exhibit while I was there that was nice as well. But where this place shines IMO is in the building and the gardens. Impressive replica of an ancient Roman palace. So many details done right from the courtyards to the gardens to the galleries to the fountains. All amongst the back drop of the Pacific Ocean. Absolutely incredible. I didn't want to leave! Went to the Getty as well and thought this was even better, which speaks highly of this place. Was less crowded when I went compared to the Getty Center (went to both on same day).

The Getty Villa: An Ancient Roman Escape in Malibu The Getty Villa is arguably one of the most uniquely themed museums in the world. It is the perfect destination for anyone interested in Greek, Roman, and Etruscan antiquities, but the main draw for many visitors is the stunning environment itself. Modeled after the ancient Roman Villa dei Papiri in Herculaneum, the property transports you straight to the sun-drenched shores of the Mediterranean. The Architectural Experience (5/5 Stars) The architecture is the undisputed star of the show. The sprawling villa features magnificent courtyards, stunning mosaics, frescoes, and reflective pools that perfectly capture the essence of a first-century Roman estate. Walking through the Outer Peristyle with its 300-foot-long pool, surrounded by meticulously maintained gardens and bronze statues, is an experience in pure escapism. It’s hard to remember you are just off the Pacific Coast Highway in Los Angeles. While some critics view the detailed recreation as leaning toward "theme park," the sheer beauty and atmospheric quality of the design are compelling. The architecture is a powerful educational tool that provides context for the art housed within. The Collection and Exhibits (4/5 Stars) The collection is specialized, focusing exclusively on ancient Greek, Roman, and Etruscan art dating from 6,500 BC to AD 400. While the collection may not be as expansive as the world’s largest art institutions, its intimate focus allows for a deeper appreciation of the works. Highlights include beautiful black and red-figure vases, intricate jewelry, everyday household wares, and, most famously, a highly debated statue known as the Getty Kouros. The way the galleries are designed—often using natural light—allows the antiquities to be viewed beautifully, providing an immediate connection to the past. Gardens and Amenities The four distinct gardens—each styled after a different ancient Roman prototype—are delightful, offering tranquility and gorgeous photo opportunities. The Herb Garden is particularly fragrant and well-labeled. The museum is very visitor-friendly. General admission is always free (though a timed reservation is required), and the café offers reasonably priced and fresh food with a spectacular view of the amphitheater. The staff is knowledgeable and available for guided tours, which are highly recommended for understanding the context of the architecture and the art. Final Verdict The Getty Villa is more than a museum; it’s a beautifully realized piece of immersive architecture. It is an essential visit for anyone in the Los Angeles area, particularly those who appreciate ancient history, stunning views, and architectural grandeur. Plan to spend as much time outdoors enjoying the gardens and courtyards as you do inside the galleries. Tip: Book your free tickets well in advance, especially during peak season, and don't forget that parking requires a fee.

An amazing museum complex, both in its architecture and in its fabulous collection of antiquities. The grounds are beautiful, the facilities high-class, and the art and artifacts on display, and in well-curated exhibits, are exceptional. It's always a top-notch draw for me when visiting the LA area.

Visiting the Getty Villa is like stepping into another era—the museum perfectly captures the elegance and grandeur of ancient Rome and Greece. Every gallery is a treasure trove of meticulously preserved artifacts, from intricate sculptures to everyday objects that bring the ancient world to life. The attention to detail in both the collections and the villa itself makes the experience immersive and unforgettable. Walking through the gardens, surrounded by classical architecture and stunning ocean views, adds another layer of awe. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, an art lover, or simply curious, the Getty Villa offers a journey through antiquity that feels both intimate and monumental. Truly one of the finest museums for experiencing the beauty and sophistication of ancient civilizations.

The Getty Villa in Santa Monica is one of the better day-adventures we have done in the greater Los Angeles area. The cafe has good Mediterranean food at a decent price (yes, they have beer and wine, too), and the photo opportunities here were endless! If you dig ancient history, architecture, and relaxing environments, this is should be on your bucket list.

A gorgeous place, our tour guide was very sweet and helpful at answering questions, it was so lovely to walk in the garden and look at all the beautiful designs. We were given plenty of time to look around and were even given paper to try and draw some art we liked (although that might have been because it was for a fieldtrip) Overall I'd definitely recommend but to keep in mind for people with younger family it is a greek museum so there is nudity in statues and in art, just something to keep in mind.

Free parking can be hard to find. The only option for free parking is on the street, and you’ll likely need to arrive outside of peak hours to secure a spot. The beach itself is clean, less crowded, and generally peaceful—especially compared to Santa Monica. Public restrooms are available, but there are no public washing areas. Be prepared to share the beach with plenty of seagulls, which are a common sight here.

Beautiful 1.8mi sandy beach with tons of street parking and a huge lot. There are showers in some spots. Great views of the coast and mountains.

We spent Father’s Day at Zuma Beach with friends, and it couldn’t have been better. Clean sand, beautiful views, and plenty of space to spread out even on a busy day. The water was perfect for wading and boogie boarding, and the lifeguards were super attentive. Parking was easy and close to the sand, which made hauling gear and coolers a breeze. Just an all-around perfect SoCal beach day. Highly recommend Zuma for families, friend groups, or anyone looking to enjoy the coast.

It's been a while since I visited Zuma Beach, and the atmosphere is a bit calmer than other places.

After many years in California, Zuma Beach still tops my son and I list of favorite surf spots — best enjoyed off-peak, of course: Monday to Friday, outside holidays, and early mornings before the crowds wake up. This is Malibu at its purest — long golden stretches of sand, clean waves, and that endless Pacific view that makes weekday emails feel like a bad dream. Surf’s great midweek when it’s mostly locals and dolphins sharing the lineup. Yes, it’s definitely not rare to surf among dolphins, great and unforgettable experience that you never get bored of. Weekends? A bit of a scene — come early or embrace the parking safari. Personally I avoid it as much as I can, if I can. Pro tip: pack snacks, wax up, and stick around long enough to watch the sun turn the whole beach into liquid gold

My favourite beach in LA. Clean and quiet. In non-seasonal time parking just $3 instead $18 of summer time. Fresh air and great sunset is great spot to relax.

Gorgeous sunset with a peaceful, calming view of the ocean and waves, soft light and cool breeze. Bring a light jacket if you plan to visit near dusk/sundown, the temperatures can drop around that time even in the summer. Parking can be found on 7301 Westward Beach Rd.

recently did a photoshoot at El Matador Beach in Malibu, and it was nothing short of breathtaking. This hidden gem offers dramatic cliffs, sea caves, and unique rock formations that make every shot feel cinematic. The natural light at golden hour was absolutely magical soft, warm, and perfect for capturing that dreamy, coastal aesthetic. The beach has a romantic, almost untouched feel to it, which added an organic, peaceful vibe to the shoot. Whether you’re aiming for editorial, lifestyle, engagement, or creative content, El Matador is an ideal backdrop. Just a heads-up: there’s a steep trail and stairs to get down to the sand, so wear comfortable shoes and travel light. Overall, El Matador Beach brought so much life and depth to my photos. I’d definitely go there again.

Only cost $10 to park. A lifeguard is on duty on the hill and can be down to you in a minute! The rock formations are so cool. One looks like an elephant!

El Matador State Beach is breathtaking! We came at sunset and the views were unforgettable—dramatic cliffs, sea caves, and golden light. It’s a bit of a walk down, but totally worth it. Perfect for photos, picnics, or just relaxing. Must-visit spot!

This beach is particularly visit for photo sessions, it has rock area that simulates like a cave. Unfortunately was so pack that I couldn't take a good Pic this time. Parking lot available at entrance is $3 x hour, automatic machine available to pay. Easy access to the beach and beautiful scenic views, worth the drive.

Beautiful beach with convenient parking. The views at sunset were amazing. Be warned that the parking lot closes at sunset and they start to close the gate before that to stop people coming in.

Peaceful beach that I'm looking forward visiting again. You have to be careful while walking down the old wooden stairs, but it's worth the effort!

We took wedding photos here, and this beach is absolutely amazing. Highly recommended, guys!

this is the best beach in SoCal. I'm from Los Angeles, and this is by far my favorite beach. It secluded with perfect sand, and the most amazing views. highly recommend!

Another one of my happy places. Probably my favorite beach in all of California. It is so quiet, so beautiful, so peaceful, with great surf, & an excellent hike to the top of Point Dume where you'll get to see dolphins & whales out in the ocean. You'll have to pay for parking to get on the beach but it's well worth it. This section of Zuma Beach beats the other two sections by far, with those sections being Westward Beach and Zuma Main Beach. You must come check it out.

Point Dume State Beach in Malibu is an amazing place to unwind. The beach is quiet, with pristine sand and clear waters. The view from the cliffs is stunning, and the area feels more secluded compared to other Malibu beaches. It’s the perfect spot for a picnic or just a peaceful walk by the ocean. It’s less crowded, so you get a more relaxed, nature-filled experience. I love coming here to escape the crowds and spend a day surrounded by natural beauty

Beautiful beach. There's also some really nice walking paths around.

You will have to pay $15 for parking if you plan on hiking up to Point Dume, which is a bit much. Plan on spending time on the beach to make it worth your while. Lots of wannabe influencers walking around taking selfies. Sunset is the best time to visit.

Our favorite beach! ☀️ The kids and mom always have so much fun here! The parking is right on the beach. It’s a small beach so there’s usually not too many people. We try to go during the week. The walk close to the water is not very far and that’s my favorite part. I usually like to go in the afternoon because my favorite time is watching the sunset! 😍

Absolutely beautiful beach! The water is a beautiful blue and the waves are huge at times and a lot of fun to watch. A good chance you’ll see dolphins while here. We decided to visit this as the wrap up to our California vacation and it was perfect. Free street parking is available but can be very tricky to find. Despite all the cars the beach didn’t feel overly crowded and there was plenty of room to spread out. Excellent beach!

Malibu Lagoon State Beach is one of my favorite places to film Brown Pelicans. You can spot them here and during breeding season you get to see their breeding colors. Its pretty cool. Its a place I have visited many times and talked about it on my youtube channel. I highly recommend it. If you love to surf, it is also popular with surfers. They are fun to watch. I would suggest going through the back lagoon parking and walking to the beach. You will encounter some amazing birds like Cormorants and if you are lucky, the resident Osprey. If you like Seagulls you'll find a variety chilling on the beach as well as crows. It can be a hit or miss in terms on when it is busy but I especially like it when it is not. It allows me watch the wildlife peacefully.

Good spot for bird watching over the lagoon. Also can walk southward on the sand toward Malibu pier. Follow us on instagram for more @gemislist

This is a beautiful beach with an amazing and peaceful view. The Adamson house located right on the beach and view of the pier are added bonuses.

I don't go here for surfing because the waves are too small in my opinion, but it's grate for someone who can swim! Great for kids, because the waves are small and there's a lot of birds.

Pros: 🌄 Natural beauty and history preserved on the California coastline. 🏄‍♂️ Surfing and golfing experiences available at Malibu Lagoon Beach. 🚗 Parking available, albeit small and requires app payment. 🚽 Clean portable restrooms nearby. Cons: 🅿️ Limited and distant parking. 🐶 No pets allowed. Peaceful and natural ambiance of Malibu Lagoon Beach. Enjoy sunrise, sunset, bird-watching, and shell-hunting.

We walked to the Malibu Lagoon State Beach from our condo, which was great. It was easy to find and easy to walk through. The scenery is beautiful in every direction. The rocks in the surf as well as the walk down Malibu Colony Beach is fantastic -- lots to see, great air to breathe and VERY clean beaches! The surfers are also entertaining in their full wet suits all jousting with one another to catch the next wave. Highly recommended!

Surfers’ favorite beach with nice but not huge waves. Nearby cafe and restaurants. Parking is limited. But you could potentially find parking along the Highway.

Freed admission to a piece of history. Do not drive past this gem. They have tours, but we missed them. Luckily, there is an excellent self-guided tour with plenty of signs.

The Adamson House in Malibu is an absolute gem—beautifully preserved and rich with history. Our docent, Laurie, was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing stories of the Chumash people, the Spanish and Mexican eras, and the families who shaped the land and built the home. The Malibu Pottery tile throughout the house is breathtaking—its vibrant colors and intricate designs add so much character to every room. Laurie brought each space to life with fascinating details and passion for the home’s legacy. Nestled where the Pacific Ocean meets the Malibu Lagoon, the setting is nothing short of magical. The views alone are worth the visit. The grounds are immaculately maintained and bursting with charm. It truly felt like stepping back in time to a more elegant, slower-paced world. A must-visit for history lovers, architecture buffs, and native Angelinos, like me! Photos are not allowed inside - that's where you will find the fascinating details!

Beautiful manicured grounds overlooking picturesque white sandy beaches, turquoise seas and lagoon. Didn't go into the house but can do if you want to.

The house and grounds are beautiful, and you can walk around the outside and garden for free. Or, you can get a house tour for $7. The tour was really great! Our guide (Diane?) made the house come alive with some interesting history about the family and some cool details on the architecture and furniture. The tour lasted about 90 minutes and we loved it. They run tours whenever guides are free, not on a schedule, but we didn't wait long.

The staff here understands how to treat people and clearly have a passion for the history of the home and surrounding area. I went for a private event and can't wait to do the full tour next time I'm in town.

If you are looking for an art museum with a big collection, a nice cafe and a well-stocked gift shop this isn’t it, and you’ll be happier at the Getty Villa just down the road on PCH. The Adamson House is a cozy local museum filled with beautiful architecture, gorgeous Malibu tiles inside and out, lovely fountains, hand-painted murals and a lot of local history. And since it is right on the beach, the views are stunning! The gardens are beautifully maintained and there are plenty of places to sit and enjoy the oceanfront views. You can even step down to the beach. There are docent tours daily but times vary and I’ve never actually seen a docent at the desk so it’s on my list to do that one day. But the house and grounds are beautiful and the signage all around tells the story of the house and its history. Adamson House is a short walk from Malibu Pier on PCH so I would have a nice lunch nearby first and enjoy a leisurely walk around these grounds afterwards. The Adamson House is not open every day and since the devastating Palisades/Malibu fires in January 2025, the hours often vary depending on what work is being done on PCH, so check their website before you plan your visit but don’t miss it!

This was absolutely one of the highlights of my first visits to LA. The history and story were so interesting. The museum provided lots of information and photos to give an understanding of the importance of the Adamson house. Highly recommend visiting.

We went on one of the many trails around here, and it was absolutely stunning! The views on this trail are breathtaking—definitely worth the effort. It’s a loop hike, and we preferred doing it clockwise. This way, the climb felt more gradual at first and gave us those rewarding canyon-top views with the canyon on one side and the ocean on the other. There’s also a little waterfall and a lively stream running through the trail (we went in July, and the water was still flowing nicely). Be prepared—the ascent can be quite steep in parts, but the payoff at the top makes it all worth it. Facilities are only available at the trailhead, so plan accordingly. Dogs are allowed, but they should be kept on a leash. Parking is a bit tricky. The lot only seems to hold about 30 ish cars. I would say on the moderate / hard side.

Nice hiking area. A three-mile hike that is somewhat paved with shade from trees. Small elevation gain, but management. There is a small waterfall at the end with a one-time home location that was burnt down, but you can still see its foundation.

The trail loop is about 3 miles and took us a very leisurely 75 minutes with a dog. Go clockwise, starting with the canyon/the waterfall so that you face the view on the way down. No sun shelter on the way down. Very well maintained trail; easy to follow. We went on a Sunday morning and it was not busy at all. Parking was not a problem at 9am. Great views. Happy to do this again.

It is great place to hike and walk around. I saw quails, scrub jays and acorn woodpeckers.

This trail leads past rustic, vine‑tangled ruins of an old ranch house, through shaded canyons, ending with light coastal views. The path is easy and well‑maintained. I paused at old stone foundations and felt history’s presence beneath large sycamores. Only a handful of other hikers were there, giving a meditative vibe. Nice breeze and bird calls framed the walk beautifully

Got there at 7 in the morning to get easy parking. A moderate hike for this 65 year old to get to the waterfall. Early morning fog made it a cool wonderful temp. Keep to the left and stay on Solstice Canyon road to avoid thick foliage and slippery rocks and water crossing. I loved this hike and plan to do it again.

A beautiful canyon with lovely trails. Winter and spring is the best time to visit as the water flows really well. The loop trail is approximately 2hrs long which is well worth it as you get to climb the canyon and see beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean and as far as Catalina Island. Less foot traffic in the morning.

The waterfall is barely there but it is still a beautiful hike! The first part of the hike is up the cement road, that will be the hardest part of the hike. When you make it to the top of that road, follow the path down the field that will lead you to the actual trail. Overall I would say this is an easy to moderate hike.

Falls is dried up (August) - had to walk .9 miles through just concrete before hitting the trail. Pretty mid hike.

Truly beautiful hike! The waterfall naturally gets very dried up in the summer, but still worth a visit!

A really nice waterfall hidden away in the forest. The hike is quite easy and the waterfall was flowing nicely. Not too much elevation gain and decent amount of shade. There were a moderate number of people but not too busy. A great way to spend some time in nature on a nice stroll.

What a hike! We went to the falls after a rainy day and boy was it muddy. We were so unprepared we decided to do the entire hike barefoot, which turned out to be a great idea. We had to pass 5/6 streams of water before getting to the waterfall, and it was worth it. Honestly not the most accessible trail especially after rain, would only recommend it on drier conditions. It was the biggest waterfall I have ever seen tho

This hike to the waterfall is fantastic. Along the way, you'll come across charming ponds to cross. To avoid the crowds, I recommend starting early in the day. Once you reach the waterfall, take a seat and relish the stunning views. The entire trail is shaded, making the journey even more enjoyable. Connecting with nature in this manner is truly the best way to unwind and rejuvenate.

This was such a beautiful place to visit! The walk up the hill from visitor parking was about a mile of literally just neighborhood to walk through. It was a gradual incline and definitely something to keep in mind for people who have trouble moving around or have a lot of little kids. Be sure to bring a small backpack or something with some water! Also, be sure to bring shoes you don't mind getting wet, we brought some special shoes for walking in water and then just had our tennis shoes separate to put on for dry land! There were four places we had to cross water, and we also walked across the stream to sit on the other side of the falls once we reached them! The falls were absolutely beautiful! It was a bit of a foggy day so there was a good bit of precipitation in the air, although it wasn't raining. It made for a very comfortable walk as it wasn't sunny, and the temperature was perfect! It also felt a bit surreal and almost like we were in a different country! The falls were still really going strong last week when we went! Definitely keep your eyes open for wildlife, there was a coral snake on the trail, unfortunately someone had killed it or someone's dog had attacked it, so it was dead. The walk back was great! Keep in mind, there are no public restrooms! Be sure to use the restroom before going to the hike! There is a public restroom at CVS if you go south on PCH. I'm sure there are other places to stop but it was easy to stop there and grab something to eat at Subway on the way home.

Great beach for surfing. Limited swimming area. Bathrooms are full flush type. Next to Malibu Pier and nice restaurant / across street as well as on the pier.

Loved this beach. Great spots for getting in the water safely and not big waves throwing you around. Next to the Malibu Pier which makes it more fun to enjoy the view around. Restaurants are at a walking distance so no problem to eat something quick and come back. Couple of lifeguard shacks. People who were enjoying the ocean were decent and well behaved so I feel pretty safe to come back with my kids next time.

Nothing special. I saw many beautiful beach'es . Only the surfers are awesome and I am impressed with these surfers ❤️oh god! The beach is common. But I recommend it for stop to see this talented people.

Love this beach and the walk over is so calming

Great beach for long boarding , chilling on the beach or swimming. The waves usually are usually not too big on the swimming side, so it’s easy to get in. Great surfer vibes. Beautiful sunset. Parking: Parking can be difficult on the weekends, but I have always been able to find street parking or in the Surfrider beach lot ($15) or the Lagoon state beach lot (around $3.50 per hour). Eating: There is Malibu farms at the pier near by, aviator nation, or other spots. I have not been to a restaurant that has really impressed me there.

Looks an absolutely stunning beach.

Great when it’s not crowded…

Great spot on the beach. The seafood is so tasty. I got the shrimp and chips which were breaded and fried just right. Can't beat the view of the Pacific from your table. Their menu is huge so many great items to choose from.

Neptune’s Net is a great seafood shack along the coast in Beautiful Malibu the experience to eat right in front of the Pacific Ocean is Priceless! The food is usually Fresh and well prepared but some of their dishes could use a bit more seasoning. The clam chowder was really good, the seafood platter was good but not really the best, the shrimp plate was a little better! The staff are super nice and the place is pretty clean if you don’t mind all the pigeons trying to steal your food!

Really nice spot and definitely a must-go for Fast and Furious fans! My husband and I ordered the shrimp and fries, they were good, although I was expecting the shrimp to be a bit bigger considering the price. It is on the pricey side, but that’s expected for such a famous spot in Malibu. It was pretty crowded, but the process is simple: you order at the counter and then grab a table. Overall, a great experience!

On our way through Malibu on a recent road trip, we couldn't resist stopping at the iconic Neptune's Net. We weren't disappointed! We ordered fish and chips, and the seared ahi tuna salad (there's a choice of dressing, but try the ranch). Two large pieces of fish, with plenty of fries. And, days later, I'm still thinking about that big piece of perfectly seared ahi, on top of the salad. So good. And of course, the ambiance here is also unmatched - the bustle, indoor/outdoor seating, the beach just across the street. We will definitely return next time we're in Malibu!

Rolling up the Pacific Coast Highway for the first time, I couldn’t resist pulling over at the iconic Neptune’s Net—because let’s be honest, if it’s good enough for Dom and Brian, it’s good enough for me (yes, a little Fast and Furious nod there). This spot radiates pure California vibes: ocean breeze, surfboards cruising by, and that laid-back energy you can’t fake. The food? Classic and satisfying. My family went for burgers and fries from their broad menu, and every bite hit the spot. Between the ocean views, easygoing service, and the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile, Neptune’s Net is the definition of a must-stop along the PCH. Next time we’re in the area, we’ll be back—and you should add it to your list too.

The food was good. I had the breakfast sandwich which I thought was very good and the crabcakes were very decent too! Unfortunately, it is priced like a tourist attraction so bring your credit card.

Fast service! The food was great, although a bit pricey. They charge $1.50 for soda refills on regular size fountain drinks. Beautiful view of Malibu beach across the street. Plenty of parking. The Knucklehead cheeseburger was $23 and came with shoestring fries. Soda was paid separately.

Clean park and restrooms. Rangers actively walk camp sites when people leave to clean up. Walking distance to the beach. Dog beach on leash on one side of rocks, no dogs on the other. Driving distance to Malibu. Handicapped sites don't have picnic tables on cement, but the spots are flat. Only electric hook up. Fill tanks with water before you get in your site. Potable water is available near dump area to fill tanks. Sites have community spouts.

Amazing! Dog friendly beach as well as non dog friendly. I only checked out the dog beach but it was very nice! The park rangers were so helpful! Rocks were great and the atmosphere here is peaceful! Campground is cute and simple and there are showers and bathrooms. You need coins for the shower and one coin gets you 2 mins of a hot shower. After that it is cold but still runs. I got a good reset here! All in all, great place, easy to access and I will be back if I am in the area! Hope to be able to camp here as the sites are so cute! White bark trees growing all in and around them!

Beautiful spot. We were there at high tide and it was relaxing to see the water hit the rocks. This is where scenes of the Karate Kid and the intro of Grease was filmed.

This is such an amazing place to camp and play in the ocean, explore the tide pools. We try to camp here at least once a year. Highly recommend. Clean restroom and showers. Camp host and store on location .

Our favorite Beach when we go to visit family! Lots of sea and anemones, crustaceans on rocks and the beach just has a more abundant aesthetic than most beaches in this area. Great for families and swimming.

Very nice state park. Beaches were great for what we wanted, which was a bit of lounging and rock hounding. I would not recommend swimming. We spent time at both the dog beach and non dog beach. Seems like the pups had a blast. Very fun to watch.

Beautiful and relaxing beach. In the gorgeous stretch of Malibu but not crazy crowds. And best of all, infamous scenes from Karate Kid were filmed here.

We arrived at Point Dume parking lot at 7:30 pm, plenty of parking spaces available, paid $3 at the prepaid ticket paying station. There were a lot of photo shootings right at the cliffs, the sunset was beautiful and unforgettable, we even saw some whales passing by. It took us about 10 minutes easy hike to get on top of the cliff. WOW! The panorama of the pacific ocean and the sunset was the best I have ever seen, come experience it yourself!

One of the most beautiful spots near Malibu! The views of the coastline and the cliff are amazing! The parking is a pain though. There are very few spots and is usually a queue. You will have to wait in the queue to get a spot.

What a great experience.I went there thinking small it ended up being big. I got some great pictures of the surfers.Be prepared to walk down and up a lot of stairs. After that I took the little hike.And got to see a bunch of seals. That was a surprise. Then Just on the other side was a public beach. It was really nice.I was able to sit on the cliff and just people watch for a little.

A go to place for a unique and pleasant walk in one of Southern California's treasures. The parking sucks, very limited, and there are time restrictions, but you can get lucky much of the time. The loop trail is very scenic but not too strenuous, and you can take in the whole sight seeing experience within the time constraints of the parking limits. I highly recommend...

This is a very short but beautiful hike. The hardest part is actually getting a parking spot. The hike takes no longer than a half hour out and back. The views at the top of Point Dume and along the trail are outstanding!

Great beach with fantastic views. Likely to be less crowded during the day, especially on weekdays. Make sure to catch the sunset from here. This is a wonderful and romantic spot.

Amazing idea for a date or trip with the family! Definitely enjoyed my trip with my girlfriend, enjoyed it overall and had a great time especially if you wonder just a little behind the security wires going right from the overlook you come across a trail although make sure to watch your step. But you are rewarded with a nice view of the ocean!! Although parking is very poor.. I would recommend parking in the street, as people who end up parking on handicap or just on the curb illegally may face a ticket, the volunteer sheriffs patrol. I got there on Monday around 3pm left around 5pm and swung back and saw the sheriff taking pictures of plates of illegally parked vehicles at 5:30ish pm. Although I would recommend parking wherever you can find a parking, but take that at your own risk!

Good food and great views. Service started out very well but once they got more busy, they kind of just forgot about us. Took a long time for dessert menus and after not coming back for our orders, we ended up skipping that and just settling the bill. It's a very pricey restaurant so I expected better than that.

Love Nobu Malibu! Of everything - you have to get the scallop truffle chips. The views are just impeccable, service is amazing, and quality is delicious. We tried the Nobu Signature Menu this time which came with 8 courses (4 cold and 4 hot). It was nice to give a taste into the restaurant.

First of all I didn’t know Nobu was a Japanese Peruvian fusion which made the whole experience even more interesting. We did the omakase and it was amazing. I loved the tiradito the wagyu nigiri the filet mignon and honestly almost everything. The drinks were also really good and at that price point that’s the least I expect. Overall it’s a once in a lifetime experience and I would say it’s worth it because the whole vibe there is just perfect

Absolutely immaculate vibes, location, atmosphere, service, and food that I would say make Nobu Malibu definitely worth the cost & the drive! I recently went to Nobu Malibu for a dinner date to celebrate our 10 year anniversary! Upon arriving with a reservation, we were promptly seated on the patio space that faces the ocean - I loved the views and the atmosphere here - 100% perfect! The sound of the crashing waves every few minutes, the warm..cozy lighting, the upscale and yet relaxing, chill atmosphere..I'm in love! There were also plenty of heat lamps above, so even on a chilly November evening, I actually felt a little bit hot! Service was EXTREMELY attentive, friendly, and helpful with giving information and advice on menu items/customizing things to personal preferences. Of the food we got here, the Crispy Rice with Spicy Tuna was a definite favorite!! A perfect blend of the crunchy exterior and an explosion from within as you take a bite - perfectly subtle heat and spice to match the rest of the flavor profiles. Everything else we ordered was similarly high-quality and solid - the only thing we'd probably skip on a future visit is the Rock Shrimp Tempura..which honestly just tasted a bit mushy and bland. We also enjoyed a couple rounds of cocktails during our dinner - all the drinks were beautifully presented and had a good strength to them. My favorite of the evening was the Malibu Breeze - a great option for anyone who enjoys a lightly fruity cocktail! All in all, this was the perfect spot to celebrate 10 years together, and they gave us a wonderful evening. I definitely believe Nobu Malibu is worth the hype, especially when wishing to celebrate a special occasion!

Nobu Matsuhisa… you did it again! This is by far my favorite location of this restaurant. The beach is gorgeous and the atmosphere of the place is out of this world. Of course it is expensive but this is a go to place when you need to celebrate something! I will say though that they do not give free desert on your birthday!

First time here , some of the waiters / waitresses went out of there way some did not . Food was ok .. everything is in small portions . we had a little bit of everything . Drinks were good . Some strong some great ! Place is loud , the view is gorgeous ! I love to hear the sound of the waves crashing ! This place is cute .

Nobu Malibu is always an exceptional experience. The food is consistently outstanding, the service is polished and welcoming, and the oceanfront setting offers one of the best views in all of Malibu. I often bring real estate clients and friends here because it truly captures the luxury coastal lifestyle people associate with Malibu. Whether it’s a relaxed lunch or a client dinner, the atmosphere, quality, and attention to detail never disappoint. A true Malibu favorite.

Me and GF decided to try this place at the Malibu beach pier. They were understaffed and some in training(waiter wise) but all waiters still were friendly and polite. Food was delicious and warm, we had the chicken, steak and salmon options. Jade, was our server and he did fantastic. My only complaint is, I order a flight of beer but, they did not fill my glasses at least to the top for the price. But overall noce view of the ocean and good food, but pricey.

We found this place by chance while driving from Los Angeles — and it turned out to be an iconic spot for brunch! 🥞☕️ Parking is easy — there’s a paid lot nearby ($15 per hour). Just keep in mind that this place is always busy, so expect about a 30-minute wait. On sunny days, I’d recommend avoiding the outdoor seating — the sun gets really strong and you might end up sunburned. 🌞 We ordered the lobster burrito and the crab burger — both were absolutely divine! 🦞🍔 The seafood was fresh and flavorful, the portions generous, and the dishes surprisingly healthy — everything came with either salad or baby potatoes, no greasy sauces or heavy sides. The lemonade was fantastic, though the cappuccino could have been better. The staff was polite, though a few waiters came across as a bit aloof — probably because the place is always packed. Overall, we loved everything about it and would definitely come back again!

The look and taste of the food was very pleasing. I ordered the Fried Egg Sandwich, and the taste and portion worth its price, with the Surfer’s Rancheros. The atmosphere (interior and exterior) of the restaurant was also very gorgeous, along with the scenic ocean view.

Absolutely loved my experience at Malibu Farm Pier Café!The location alone is breathtaking, sitting right on the pier with the ocean literally beneath your feet makes it feel like a little piece of paradise. The vibe is relaxed, coastal, and effortlessly chic, perfect for brunch or sunset drinks. The food was so fresh and flavorful, you can really taste the farm-to-table quality. The staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the view… honestly, no words, it’s the kind of place that makes you stop and just take it all in. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great food, stunning views, and that perfect Malibu atmosphere.

They have some vegan options! 🌱 The restaurant is right by Maribu Beach, such a beautiful location! 🌊 You can enjoy your food while watching the amazing view 😍 I got the vegan tacos and they were so good! 🌮💚 They even have vegan egg and I loved the potatoes 🥔✨ As a matcha latte lover 🍵💖 I couldn’t taste the matcha very strongly, but they offer plant milk options which I really appreciate 🌿💫

I ordered the peach smoothie. The atmosphere and view were both amazing, but the drink itself was a bit disappointing. It’s still a nice spot to relax and enjoy the ocean view.

Came to the Malibu Farm Cafe for quick bite to eat and a coffee while driving through Malibu. There is lots of parking next to the pier and this place has a great view of Malibu beach and the sunset. Staff is friendly and the atmosphere here is great. Very relaxed and very nice.

I was surprised by how was burned from the recent fires. The renewal is starting to take shape already. I peaceful beauty ✌️✌️Nature is awesome how it rebuilds itself in a short period of time ✌️✌️

park tales where they read and do arts n crafts for babies and kids mainly 2-5 years of age. this park is so beautiful and clean and has the best view of the ocean. we will be coming back for their movie nights as well- scooby doo is coming 😌✨

A great respite from the heat! A meat community spot. The sunset was great! Such a clean park!

Beautiful view. Park by playground. Recreation center. Free parking. Typical public bathroom.

The views are spectacular, the sunsets are beautiful and the vegetation are growing back.

A Park On A Bluff! This is a tasty little park that has sports fields, Community Center, playgrounds, dog friendly walking trails that are both paved and in paved. If you follow me then you know that I often examine the restrooms because I believe that if the restrooms are well taken care of then so will the rest of the facility. As you can see in my photos the restrooms were generally clean but did need some cleaning up. However, I do believe that the mess was recent and so I hope it’ll be resolved quickly. All and all it’s a nice park.

One of my favorite Malibu parks. Has a large grass area, lookouts, baseball fields and a sidewalk trail. You can even venture off on the trail and find picnic tables. Doggy and kid friendly.

We love coming here to hang out for a few hours by the ocean. The food is always good without ever being brilliant but the scenery is surely what anyone comes for (and the cocktails!) . The staff are lovely and really accommodating - especially at quieter times of the day / week and we will definitely be back again soon.

Wow…just wow! This is a gem of a place! Across the board it was a 10/10 (with the exception of having to pay $10 for parking). The drinks were fun and themed, the food was incredible, and the view is unbeatable. We got a piña colada and an original mojito. And the ahi tuna and tacos (the grilled fish and carnitas were the best of my three). If you’re uncomfortable with birds at your feet, maybe sit inside. But I just loved kicking my shoes off and having my feet in the sand. I would definitely go back!

Quick warning: They use pasta straws for their drinks, so be aware if you have an allergy. If you let waitstaff know, they can generally accommodate your dietary restrictions. We had a fairly large group, but Paradise Cove was able to accommodate us no problem. Food was amazing (it is on the spendy side, so I'd say it's more for special occasions). I had the jumbo shrimp scampi while other family members had the shrimp tacos, clam chowder, and seafood linguine. We also ordered a few desserts including the giant piece of chocolate cake that fed over 10 people (we still had leftovers, but one of the best chocolate cakes ever). They had us outside in booths where you step right into sand upon leaving the table if you can imagine. The view from our table was incredible and it was just a short walk away from the beach. Everyone enjoyed the food and view so much, many already have plans to go back there at some point. We will be coming back here for sure for more family celebrations. One thing I wish would be addressed is the design of the menu. The design for the menu is so busy that we all had trouble figuring out where to look between all the color changes and extreme use of bolding. The place itself is relaxing, but the menu design doesn't quite reflect that so I would suggest a change in menu design.

Beautiful Bay View & Great Cocktails This place has a fantastic location with stunning views over the bay. The food and cocktails are excellent, and the interior is full of historic photos that give the place real character. Service is friendly and quick. Just one tip — the seagulls sitting on the umbrellas can get a bit too interested in the seafood dishes (we saw it happen at a few nearby tables), so maybe choose wisely when ordering!

If you’re new to Malibu, this is a great place to visit! It was my husband’s birthday and I wanted to surprise him. I’m so glad I picked this place, they had really cute & fruity drinks. The food was also great - I like how there are different options. They also brought out a complimentary birthday cake for my husband with a candle which was adorable. This place overall was so relaxing and romantic.

Paradise Cove Café — where Malibu’s past and your calorie count collide in glorious harmony. This spot isn’t just a restaurant, it’s a Hollywood veteran. Beach Boys sang here, movie stars filmed here, and I’m pretty sure half of California’s postcards were shot from this exact deck. You come for the history, stay for the cocktails, and leave questioning your life choices after finishing a portion big enough to feed a surf team. Yes, it’s a bit pricey — but so is everything that comes with a side of private beach and Pacific Ocean pop-culture nostalgia. Pro tip: grab a margarita (or michelada), dig your toes in the sand, and pretend you’re in a 1960s music video. Everyone else here is doing the same

Bought my mom here for mother's day and we had an okay experience over all. There is always room for improvement. We had a reservation at 7:30pm for mother's day dinner. Checked in at 7:25pm, got to out seats at 8:05pm. I would suggest the establishment, manager, and the owner would update or fix their reservation system. For first timers, I already expected that this place would be busy just by reading the reviews and turn around times. I would suggest visiting their website and go through the menu ahead of time. It may not be the full menu but at least you will be ready to know your main course. They serve drink and dessert menu at the restaurant. We ordered the Paella Paradise, Crispy Calamari, drinks , and bread pudding for dessert. They run out of the ribs that comes with the paella so they suggested to add more on the dish on its behalf but as we got the paella, for $125, it's a pretty decent dish. It only got 2 pcs of chicken but I believe they added more on the seafood side. But I don't think it justified the price. The bread pudding was good, did not expect the white chocolate in the pudding but it was good. The only thing that did not sit well with me is the table/s could have been wiped or cleaned thoroughly in between guests and staff would not use the term "did not expect to be this busy or packed". As a well- known establishment, it should be expected especially on weekends and/or on a special days.

I timed my visit to arrive right at opening (11am) but the lot was already full, so I paid for parking next door. Ended up waiting in line for about 30 minutes, which wasn’t too bad given the Labor Day crowd. Ordered the two fish and fries along with the New England clam chowder — both were fresh, flavorful, and definitely worth the wait. Scored a great spot at one of the outdoor picnic benches, right near the water fountain, which made the meal even better. Plenty of seating overall and the ocean views really add to the experience. A classic Malibu stop that lives up to the hype.

Malibu Seafood, October 5, 2025 My daughter's sister said you got to try this place so we decided to & why not if you're coming out to Malibu, CA for the beach 🏖️ or just enjoying a drive up & down the PCH you can't go wrong especially if you ❤️ seafood! Malibu Seafood is so Awesome! With so many different kinds of seafood to choose from as you can see on their menu plus other stuff also like different kinds of bread to eat with their clam chowder sourdough bread 🍞 or a bagel 🥯 or a baguette 🥖 for later & OMG! 🤤 The "Fish & Chips" are to die for they are so freaking good perfectly battered & the french fries just have that amazing taste to them also plus the clam chowder & the shrimp tacos 🍤 🌮 ! So no matter what you order you can't go wrong! Please don't forget the extra tartar sauce & the malt vinegar or the ketchup or the hot sauce 🌶️ some people enjoy that & the butter 🧈. Note: the outside eating areas can get very busy to find a table but you can & I ❤️ the "No Dogs" 🐕 sign but you still see them there! L🤣L! The view is breath taking of the ocean 🌊 & you can see the PCH right there as you eat it's so beautiful. Thank You to everyone here at Malibu Seafood for making our first time here a very wonderful & exciting day with all of the food & the smell of fresh seafood & the sights & sounds of people enjoying life & just eating & making everlasting memories. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'s & 💯%+ for the service & for the food & everything else. Great Job Y'all!!! 👏 😎👍

This spot operates as a fish market from 10 AM and a restaurant from 11 AM, so everything is very fresh. The food was absolutely delicious and felt like it had just come out of the ocean. Be prepared for lines on weekends—I recommend taking a photo of the menu while waiting so you’re ready when it’s your turn to order. After placing your order at the counter, they’ll give you a buzzer so you can grab a seat while your food is prepared. There are three patio areas for outdoor seating. Some have partial shade, but on hot days, it can be uncomfortable—umbrellas are limited. Parking is a challenge: there’s a $12 lot, a few free spots nearby, and the option to try your luck on the PCH. Even the paid lot fills up fast. There are a couple of restrooms, but they were pretty dirty on our Sunday visit. One note: dogs technically don’t seem to be allowed on the patio, but I did see a few around. If your dog is quiet and well-behaved, it seems like staff and guests are okay with it.

About an hour long line, standing in the sun, to place an order. Took about 20 minutes for the order to be ready. I ordered fish and chips, shrimp tacos, fish tacos, a grilled salmon platter, and a couple of fountain drinks. They only have one size fountain drink. It’s about the size of a medium drink at most places. The drink didn’t stand a chance after standing in line. The food was good. I was hoping for an amazing meal, especially for the cost. It was good, not OMG good. The tacos didn’t look like the picture in the reviews. No shredded cabbage or lettuce? There was a lot of sauce on both tacos. No flavors stood out. It was all one note. The fish and chips were excellent as also the salmon, rice and coleslaw. Parking in the parking lot isn’t something I would plan on. The restroom was clean. Overall decent experience. Right on PCH, across from the beach. Neat local historic place. Also, looks like a place where you can eat outside with your dog [ITS NOT]. There are signs in multiple locations around the building and dining areas that prohibit dogs.

Fish tacos were pretty good but not great. (My October 2025 spooky video review goes more in depth). The TLDW: It's shredded fish not whole fish and salsa wasn't as spicy as I would prefer. They seem to be liked, if not loved, by many as there was a line literally out the door and around the side. I will be going back and will update the review once I get a chance to see if their score goes up or down. Overall score: 4.25 out of 5 Recommend to try: Yes Affordability: 2 tacos plus a drink = approximately $18 So a bit higher than what I would like but considering the area it's reasonable and definitely better than just getting McDonald's, etc. & more than likely better for you.

Awesome fried seafood! The fish and chips and the fried shrimp were both excellent. The patio seating with ocean views really adds to the coastal vibe. This is a must-visit spot when you’re in Malibu.

Really excellent basic fish shack kinda place. The seafood, however, is excellent. Great laid back vibe, welcoming staff. A tradition. Update: just had one of my best meals in LA here. Fresh grilled corvina, Cole slaw and fries. Extremely simple but each element was perfect and they all worked together. Pro tip: if the MS specials board says fresh grilled anything, order the anything. The freshest fish goes from the docks to the specials board . Oh, and their tartare sauce is more like aoli.

My boyfriend took me here for a birthday brunch & we were both so happy with our experience. Staff were very attentive & helpful. The food was a little overpriced but it was very delicious and the overall experience made it worth it. The drinks recommended to us by our waitress also paired so well with our food! Not much of a drinker but I gladly had a second glass. Not to mention, brunch with a view was icing on top. We were also able to walk down to see the hidden beach tucked away down the steps after a lovely time at the restaurant!

We were greeted by the wonderful host and confirmed our 530p reservation. My wife and I celebrated our 18yr wedding Anniversary and this place didn't disappoint. James was our server and he made our special evening much more personable. We have been to a lot of fine dining experiences but this one was just memorable. Everything was perfect to our standards. The seating, food, ambiance, view and most of all the service was spot on. If we had got there earlier we could have walk down to see the beach access. Definitely RECOMMENDED👍🏼and will comeback soon.

Wow , this place was such a gem! Our waiter was so helpful and kind. He recommended his favorite vegan dishes and they did not disappoint. I got the churrotini, the burrata salad, the acai bowl, and the thai curry. My husband got the omelette. The view was breathtaking. The food was so deliciously spiced and decadent. All acai bowls will pale in comparison to Geoffreys! The staff was the best part- from the hostess to the valet to the waiter, everyone was so kind and helpful.

One of the nicest spots for a restaurant along the coast with views from almost every table. Had a very nice late lunch..The food was good and the being right on the ocean is terrific. The place itself is a bit dated, but still nice. Highly recommend the lobster cobb, which has a pound of lobster- much more than most lobster cobbs. The Asian chicken salad was also good. They have a nice selection of white wines by the glass. They would not seat me while my husband was parking, which was bit annoying because their parking was backed up, which does happen there when they are busy. Hasn’t been for a while and was defiantly a good choice.

Great seafood options! The brunch and lunch menus have a little something for everyone's likings! The Paella and the Sea bass were our favorites. As always, we had had to get the Lychee Martinis! We'll be back here soon.

Geoffrey’s Malibu is an absolute coastal gem — offering stunning ocean views, exceptional service, and world-class cuisine in a breathtaking setting. From the moment you arrive, the ambiance feels luxurious yet relaxed, perfect for romantic dinners or special celebrations. The food is incredibly fresh. every dish is crafted with care. Watching the sunset over the Pacific. A true Malibu treasure — elegant, scenic, and simply outstanding.

Amazing restaurant with a stunning ocean view. Fresh, delicious food, professional service, and a romantic, upscale atmosphere. Perfect spot for a date or any special occasion. Highly recommended.

Used to be my favorite spot to go chill... karen bass lets the whole beach burn down and then went to ghana the night before... cant make this stuff up. And now the pch is so over police with DOUBLE fines and 25mph speed limit... good luck driving here now.. they want everyone chased out of malibu locals and tourists

Possibly my favorite beach in the Los Angeles area. Unbeatable for the sunsets and a lot more quiet than Zuma and Surf Rider. Used to get my party on here back in the day, had a good time at Lindsay Lohans 4th of July party so definitely 5 stars for Carbon Beach!

Great beach, a real hidden gem. Clean watery never to busy. I would recommend to go there instead of the beach of santa monica or venice if you can reach it by car or bus

Love this hidden beach they call it billionaire beach for a reason. if you have dinner at Geoffrey’s Malibu there’s a private costal access

This is my favorite beach! It's never crowded or dirty. I go here for my peace of mind. And sometimes they have swings!

Neat little beach off the main road in Malibu.

Sunset was magical this picture I actually took no filters i promise!

Very nice shopping 🛍 Mall has lots to offer. Parking area everywhere and Play pad area for children is nice.

Security was very rude. Literally just parked and immediately got approached by two Allied guards that told me I can't park here it's for customers only. Like how do you know I'm not a customer? What happened to being customer first and not attacking your customers? This place sucks

The courtyard is quite nicely furnished. We were taking a few photos of the space when a lady interrupted us saying that no photography is allowed. There were no signs and it’s an open space with shops all around, but we said okay and stopped. As if that’s not enough, they sent a security guard a few minutes later to scold us again, even though we did take any photos after that.

Great for hanging out and enjoying being out. Restaurants and food places are a bit pricey. I guess they have a huge rent. Suggestion: bring your own picnic basket. You'll probably enjoy better. As for shopping.... You know, there's a lot of cute shops...and some you can go to another mall a find a better bargain. Go for the experience.

Nice outdoor mall to get a coffee and stuff. There’s a fancy bluebottle and a Wholefoods deep into it and a good breakfast burrito Mexican place. Drop in Sunday, if you can find parking, to see Jay Leno with the sport car of the moment.

Needed a few things for a small repair job on a deck overlooking the ocean at a friends place in Malibu. He didn't have time or the energy to hire ap contractor for a simple deck repair so we just drove in and minutes later they had a local handyman on the phone whom was more than equipped to handle the job at a very fair price. He even received a discount as he has been using thus store for years and he even repaired a side gate and a few steps down to the private beach. This place is all about customer service and satisfaction

I go there to see Darnell, the hairdresser, because he is super. My clothing boutiques are no longer there and the restaurant is not worth it. POOR HAMBURGER...SMELLED AWFUL INSIDE AND OUT. I'll keep going to see Darnell for my haircuts and color. But not liking shopping there anymore .

I loved this place especially the location it was by the beach side. We enjoyed the ocean view with the splashing waves with the awesome food. The macaroni was very delicious and the drinks were great. The fish tacos were really nice. The service was amazing and we would highly recommend this place as they have a pretty good menu options.

Service and view were phenomenal. Very friendly and accommodating. Wonderful overall experience. We rated the food 4/5 because we felt the sauce on the steak was too mild but the steak was great. Wish there were more asparagus stalks with it. Fish and chips were good but have had tastier fries. Pie was yummy - but tasted like typical ice cream pie (tasted more like vanilla ice cream than macadamia nut). Hummus plate was very good. Parking is valet ($12 on day we went), but there is also free street parking.

Had an amazing experience, from the welcome, to the atmosphere, the food and especially some timely departure advice due to PCH closure. The hostess took a genuine interest in us and the special occasion that we were celebrating. She took multiple pics of us without us even having to ask (when does this ever happen these days?). The food was great, beer was cold and crisp and the key lime pie was divine. Definitely on our list to revisit and reco to friends.

My wife and I decided to take a day off of work and go to the beach so we took full advantage of the opportunity and away we go. We went to the beach for a few hours and then we planned on coming to Dukes in Malibu for lunch date and the view of the ocean which was so beautiful. I got the prime sirloin steak and fries with a side salad and it was really delicious. The server was really nice and accommodating. As you could see in the pictures, there's plenty of seating inside the restaurant and they have an attached party space for large groups of people who wanna rent out the space. The ambience at Dukes is very chill and relaxing with a view of the ocean. I mean how can it get better than that? There is no street parking as far as I can tell and only a valet parking lot in front of the restaurant that was the only downside of Dukes. I would definitely recommend Dukes for anybody who's in Malibu and wants to have a good lunch or dinner with the view of the ocean. Amen and yes please.

i don’t know what to do with myself anymore i just want to be happy andreia and my friends are happy too i don’t need a friend but if anyone would want a relationship that would be great and i would love to be there for them. thank you for your support and i hope you have a good day too i hope your family and family are all doing okay i hope they all get to enjoy each other’s happiness too i love them all very deeply i wish they could have been here for us to all but please i love and i love and support each of them and my family i wish you and everyone have a very special time together and we are always together.

Fun little spot with locations across California and Hawaii. Really nicely done Hawaiian vibe with decent food. Enjoyed the ocean view and lively atmosphere. The chicken tenders were crunchily breaded, but the fries were a little soggy. Probably the biggest downside of the visit. Our waitress (Carmin) was very attentive and kind. The Hula pie was creamy and delicious. Definitely worth trying. Keep up the good work, Duke’s!

How am I at California native and have never been here before?! So many people have told me to check this place out. Did you know they do weddings here too? I made reservations for my anniversary. It is highly suggested you make a reservation which is easy to do online because it tends to get very busy. Dukes is not only popular because of their food but their prime location right in front of the ocean. We were seated by the window and I loved looking out at the waves and hanging out with the seagull named Franklin. Our server was Sophia and she was super sweet and helpful and told me some of their top selling drinks and food items. She said their most popular drink was their Dukes Mai Tai. Delicious and very strong. I don’t normally drink alcohol so it took me awhile to finish it. I can see why people like it. It’s topped with a piece of pineapple which makes a fun addition. For my meal I got the coconut shrimp which comes with their house made macaroni salad. It was amazing. They have a limited menu when it comes to food so if you like a place with a ton of options, then this might not be the place for you. Valet parking was $8 when I went during lunch time.

Beautiful Campus. Kindness. A place of education, faith, and friendship for a life of Service, Leadership and Excellence. Great place to walk around and enjoy the views of the Pacific Ocean and Santa Monica mountains.

Beautiful place. The library is like a Malibu mansion furniture and view is the Malibu Pacific Ocean view. Students very good and friendly and beautiful God bless this one by one bright future on your beautiful faces and eyes So friendly and kind students beautiful smiles

My daughter is attending summer school and moved in the domitory today. Paied class ruition and domitory fee, but they were not prepared to receive students. The dormitory is not cleaned at all, and the place to unload the stuff from the car is blocked. So I tried to unload the stuff at the near parking lot, and a school police tagetted me, kept following me, and issued a violation ticket. His attitude is so rude, and I will complain things happened to me and my daughter today to the management of school. They are always deligent to collect money by sending emails from the parents, but provide no services. It's the worst school ever. I really regret having my daughter study this school.

We brought our family to tour the campus. Very impressive. I would have liked to attend. We are hoping our daughter will attend.

I just got a call from an admissions counselor who was not listening to my words and therefore condescendingly believed he was correcting me. I asked him a direct question about the professors’ areas of expertise to which he replied “is there anything else I can help you with?” No sir, I don’t think you can.

I graduated from Pepperdine University in 2005 and had an excellent experience. Those were some of the best years of my life and helped set the stage for success moving forward.

Great place to go to college, surf, make good friends, have sunshine 365 days a year, and, especially, to grow closer to the Lord.

Beautiful place for picnic and swimming, parking is only $10. But restrooms are mobile plastic toilets 🙈 the only negative thing about this beach , also traffic will be super heavy if you are driving after 9am even on weekends

Went midday on a chilly weekday, just to have a picnic by the beach. It was empty, and quiet, and beautiful. The kids ended up playing in the water and had a great time. We saw pelicans, sand pipers, and a couple sea lions popped their heads out of the water. The only drawback is a couple of the ones who went into the water ended up getting some sort of tar stick to the bottom of their foot.

Beautiful beach! Surf or Boogie board beach. The break near shore churns rocks, making swimming entry painful and hazardous. Clean plenty of parking (paid check website for cost) 5 minute walk down to the beach from the 1st parking lot. There are some spots closer near the lifeguard stand. Stairs down to the beach. Not crowded usually.

Pay kiosks not working, so i went ahead with not paying. Asked a few others and they seem to have the same experience. Very private feel to this beach as you can't really hear or see traffic on PCH. Has an elevated pic nic area with 4 tables, great for a group. Cove is small yet long and extends northward to another beach.

My family and I had a great time! The beach is so beautiful, peaceful, and clean. We enjoyed every moment. It was so relaxing, tranquil, and jubilant.

Nicholas Canyon Beach is a beautiful coastal spot known for its soft sand, scenic cliffs, and surf-friendly waves. Visitors can enjoy swimming, surfing, and relaxing in a peaceful beach environment.

Love this place. 1st time here. Quit clean good place to meditate. Went back again spent 6 hrs there. Love this place. My meditations I use hear you'll need something to lay down on. Vagus Nerve Exercises to rewire your brain from anxiety. This is great for beginners Allen Watts-Guided Meditation ( Awakening the mind). Both on YouTube. Went back again but no more huts water washed them out. That's okay I'm still coming here.

I love the vibe here. The market has really gone through multiple changes. The fresh food looks and tastes amazing! So much variety!

Such a clean, open and delicious store to visit. Besides groceries, the deli and cafe serve up some wonderful and enticing food. Restrooms are clean and accessible to us who bicycle in the area.

Might be the most overpriced grocery store in LA, including Erewhon, and that’s saying something. Standard household items easily cost double or triple what they would cost at Whole Foods. Egregious behavior — you have to hope it’s because their real estate costs are so high. And that begs the question of why we didn’t listen to Henry George….

This place is absolutely lovely. And respective of its location, it's somewhat expensive. It's certainly worth checking out. The staff are also very helpful and nice.

Very good market. Convenient and very healthy food choices especially next to Malibu beach. There's also others store in the little plaza.

I stopped by here before my hike. It is a nice convenient store where they have a lot to offer. I was able to get some drinks. They offer snacks, sandwiches, fruits, and etc. the people are helpful. Would definitely recommend this store to anyone.

Wish I lived closer so I could have the matcha smoothie more often! We also had two of the sandwiches that they make to order from the sandwich counter and they were epic.

Wonderful beach and so much to explore and see. Every time I go I seem to find something new. My favorite spot is this cute staircase not far from the tide pools.

Beautiful coastal views and rock outcroppings and sea caves make this a spectacular spot to take photos especially at sunset. Also cool spot to relive some nostalgia from the Karate Kid movie.

Our favorite beach 🩷 my dog love here so much. Usually chill. Never seen it’s packed with ppl.

It is a beautiful spot and a gem in Southern California. I would caution parts of the beach because the waves are pretty strong therefore if you have little ones keep them close and protected. The park rangers are very helpful and nice. Make sure to check out the caves during low tide. The high tide may prevent you from seeing the caves.

We went at just the right time and even on a busy Saturday there was so much space and so many things to check out and do. I think we spent close to three hours there. So refreshing and fun!! Make sure you go at low tide and arrive a little before.

Good place to have your own adventure. Small beaches between cliff. Big tidal wave from concentration. Lots of rocks to climb and mostly amazingly a big sea cave. Or a tunnel connects two sea caves together. So amazing !

Loved the rocks and sea caves at this beach. There was a dog friendly beach and also non-dog beaches. Parking is across the highway for the sea caves and is $3/hour or $12 for the day. We went at low tide and we were able go explore all of the caves. Great spot for bird watchers and isn't very busy and cleaner than most beaches along the hwy.

Incredibly friendly and accommodating staff. They prepared a cheese spread for us and a selection of wines that paired really well with the food. All wines were high quality, great flavor and body. They also let us play our own music which added to the personalized experience. Can't wait to go back! Highly recommend for small groups and celebrations.

A charming place for a drink and a band was playing in the afternoon. The bartender is really helpful. I tasted many glass of wine for free and I picked the Rosenthal, Cabernet franc 2017! Delicious! My stop was worth it! There is also a fun tunnel underneath the highway to reach the beach.

Outdoor patios relaxing with music, natural air with ⛰️ mountain and beach ⛱️. You can bring your own food.

What a charming little wine tasting spot right off PCH. Great ocean views across the street and a huge patio out back! Didn’t know but it’s also dog friendly so we’ll def bring our pup next time :) There is a great Thai spot right next door you can order food and bring into the winery.

We went for our first time to go see the stand-up comedy show and have some wine. Unfortunately the stand-up was cancelled, but the wine was nice. It's right off PCH, easy to get to. I highly suggest the Thai place next door for dinner.

I have driven by Rosenthal's about once a month and always wanted to check it out. So, since I work on Sundays I thought, why not take my wife there for an early Mother's day stop. Well, she loved it. Greg was our server at the inside tasting room and made us feel very welcome. The tasting is not cheap at $18 - $21 but you need to treat yourself once in awhile. We agreed that the wines are very nice, specially the SR 2018 Grenache. We belong to 2 wineries which run in the $24- $32 range but they are in Oxnard and Ojai. Being on PCH in Malibu you can expect to pay a bit more. We enjoyed a bottle at $48 along with live music and some better than average food truck selections. We arrived at 12:40 and got very lucky with a parking spot right up front on the highway. That saved us $8 parking fee. They should consider parking validation with wine purchase. The tasting room is quaint and becomes small once the heard on people show up from 2 to 4. All the outside seating except 2 small 4 chair tables were marked reserved which was disappointing but we got the front row barrel with shelf center stage for the live music. With all that said I still give this a 4 out of 5 only because of the lack of unreserved seating. The age group is mostly 21 to 29 with some older people hanging out like us, just relaxing, sipping, eating, people watching and enjoying the overall experience that makes PCH worth the 40 mile drive from Camarillo. We will return and bring others and snacks to enjoy next time around. Thanks to Greg for remembering my name too, that actually means a lot. See you next time.

Lovely place, cross Topanga Beach. Very good wine, big garden. Concerts (check the schedule!) and happy hour. I do love it! And suggest it.

Warm sunny days and oysters are the best combo. I decided to try this place for oysters, and they were pretty good. They serve them on a large platter of ice, which is convenient if you're planning to take them to go. I also ordered the lobster roll, which was tasty with its nicely buttered bun. There's a covered area with tents where you can sit and eat, and the wait time for everything was pretty short.

Lovely place to visit after a long day at the beach. Fresh and delicious seafood paired with great beers. My only comment is that their caviar hot dog isn't as covered in caviar as the picture shows, but I guess I'll let that pass. Everything else was great.

Stopped at this establishment because had to use the charging stations and it was a great choice. The charging stations were quick and all was working, but the establishment was friendly. The beers were cold and had great seating. Didn’t have enough time to try the food but it smelled and looked good.

I know this is an upscale place and what not however, the portions here are ridiculously small. I spent over $180 for 2 extra lobster rolls and caviar with 1/2 oysters and drinks. It felt more like a snack than a meal. One of the guys in the counter with a full beared does not have any customer service skills. If I ask for ketchup just give it I’m paying a crazy amount and 3 packets aren’t going to bankrupt you. Other than that the food was amazing no doubt but definitely needs touch of customer service.

The food here is absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and prepared with great care. Parking is plentiful, which makes visiting very convenient. The restaurant itself is clean, well-kept, and has a welcoming vibe. A great spot in Malibu for anyone who loves seafood!

10/10 no notes This is the spot. While we didn’t have oysters, what we did end up having was bomb dot com. We got so lucky getting there when we did. There were only 4 people in front of us. The line was way longer when we left. 2 of us got the warm lobster roll and the 3rd person got fish and chips. When I tell you, that first bite shut me up. That’s when you know the food is good. The conversation stopped so we could focus on the food. First of all, that bread. Wow. Melted in your mouth like butta. Gimme all the bread. The lobster was delicious. There was a good amount in there too. Don’t even get me started on the fries. I sure did eat it all. I paired a cider with my meal. I coulda had another one, but I opted not to since we were planning to get dessert elsewhere so I needed to make sure I had space. Service was great. The lady out front was friendly and smiled at every customer when they got to the front of the line. Same for the guys on the other side where you pick up your order. It’s super spacious in their corner. They have two seating areas so you’re sure to find a spot. Can’t wait to be back so I can try the cold version of the lobster roll and go to town on some oysters.

Seafood Lover this is your place! Beautifully fresh seafood in a casual fun location in Malibu. In the shopping center off PCH behind Lululemon in alley way. Lobster rolls that looked really good unfortunately we didn’t order those. Crab Louie salad, The fish tacos were to die for. Everything was so so fresh. They did have sea urchins, but we didn’t try them. The oysters on a half shell were gone in a moment. Can’t wait to go back!

One of the most beautiful sunsets...lavish residences...mesmerizing terrain...The 21 mile beach is a must visit when in los angeles . However the wildfires...in January 2025...leave the mind a little sad...just enjoyed the drive...later the paradise cove dinner in a separate review.

Enjoyed watching the sunset and doing some bird watching. There is some free parallel parking or $20 paid parking. Not my favorite beach in California but surprisingly not very crowded, even on a Friday afternoon

🌊 Malibu – Sun, Surf and Coastal Beauty 🌊 Malibu is one of the most beautiful coastal spots in California. The beaches are stunning, the ocean sparkles in every shade of blue, and the sunsets are simply unforgettable. Driving along the Pacific Coast Highway, you immediately feel the relaxed vibe and unique lifestyle of the area. Tip: Go early in the morning to enjoy the beaches with fewer people and to see the famous Malibu Beach Houses. A walk or short hike along the coast is perfect for taking in the cliffs, nature, and incredible ocean views. The small cafes and restaurants by the beach are also a highlight. Fresh seafood, Californian specialties, and a drink in the sun make the day complete. Verdict: Malibu is more than just a beach. It’s a place full of sun, nature, and classic California charm. I would visit again anytime, and it easily earns five stars.

Very beautiful and way less crowded than the public beach. There are several spots with free parking along the road. At least I believe it was for you. There was no sign saying you couldn’t park and we didn’t get ticketed or towed 😂. There were quite a few spots where I saw other people parking for beach access. So the public beach areas are looking for take the time in drive and you’ll find a lot of other little spots with beach access.

OMG THIS IS SHOCKING 😳 I went here and this is my first time in California. I was picturing a beautiful beach and a safe place to visit. Be careful if you are there with young children there are many people that look dangerous. There was a surprising amount of homelessness on the beaches and that really surprised me and I didn’t feel comfortable leaving my stuff on the beach and taking a swim. The houses burnt down from the fires is insane I don’t understand how this can happen naturally this is definitely man made. I hope you can enjoy your time here if you are already here. Parking is extremely hard to get in this beach so you’re lucky if you find a parking spot. Just be careful but have fun.🏝️

Malibu Beach was absolutely amazing! The scenery was breathtaking—different from any other beach we’ve visited. The views are some of the best you’ll ever see, and the water is so clear and inviting. It’s a more relaxed, “off-the-beaten-path” kind of spot, giving it a peaceful, almost secluded vibe compared to more crowded beaches. If you’re looking for a unique beach experience in California, Malibu Beach is definitely the place to go. Perfect for photos, soaking in the sun, or just enjoying a slower pace of life. Bring your beach gear and take your time—it’s the kind of place that makes you want to stay all day.

Beautiful. Heavenly. Warm sand. Water was cold! Lol. Very peaceful.

Came here for my god-daughter 22nd birthday dinner... Everything was PERFECT. Mr Scott our host was super nice & cool. The dinner was perfect & everything was cooked to perfection. The food serving size is worth the price you pay for.. Valet guy was pretty nice too

Went here for our anniversary and it was so nice. The food was amazing! The sides are big portions meant to share but you can ask for half the size. We sat at the bar first for a quick drink and the bartender was so nice. We did wear nice jeans and shirts but saw others dressed up more and down. Loved eating looking out at the ocean.

Beautiful! Amazing beach views with indoor comforts and tinted windows. We attended for a sunset 80th bday dinner. The tables closest to the left window area almost feels like you're dining on a pier over the waters during high tide. The right tables were great too and had the rest of the beach. We visited during 620pmish to 8pm sunset in June, and the sun wasn't too harsh against the windows. Regarding too much UV, the windows also have shades that can be rolled down for harsher sunny moments. Food: We recommend seafood and appetizers!! (Steak and Pork Chops were unfortunate misses for us that night but think it might be just that night, since another friend had a different experience). $19 Valet (takes credit card, cash, etc). Wagyu Beef Roll and Shrimp Cocktails are a must!! This location is open again!!! Secrets out via @losangelesfoodiegirl. We got so lucky to book an 80th bday celebration here within only 1 wk RSVP!!! Rsvp via phone or OpenTable. OpenTable for some reason shows a lot more availability than via the phone. I got a text the day before our running date, then a call in the morning to confirm. They definitely will make sure you'll make your RSVP. - Most of the view tables can fit up to 5 patrons. We were a table of 5 and fit semi-comfortably. - Behind these tables are booth seating for 2 which looks very comfortable. - Upper deck level with larger groups also offers amazing views Overall, the restaurant is tightly spaced, and the tables are close together but with enough space to still pull your seats out and squeeze through. There will be alot of movement traffic between staff coming through the walkways. *Tip: Add the celebration occasion (bday) and honored person's name (my mom), and they'll customize the menu with her name and HB on it. *Tip: Make a note or call to request where you'd like your seating. Window seating is to guarantee. We arrived 30min early and got lucky with not waiting too long. Waiting area: There are 2 seats. There is a bar too. There's outdoor benches near the valet area. I recommend strolling over toward the beach area of the parking lot. There is 1 small bench, and a great view of the restaurant with the beach. Pictures will be difficult to get during evenings around 6pm but still possible. Caution: Don't stand around there around 7pmish or high tide moments with the water splashing over the cliff to that area. You'll be greeted by staff, including different managers to make you or the celebrated person feels special. Food: - $5 bread service. - *$31+$ extra shrimp: Shrimp cocktail was amazing!! They were able to add another shrimp so that each one of us (party of 5) got a piece. I might try their lobster (cut into 2 pc) instead. - $22 Fried Calamari uses dairy in its batter. SO thought it was okay but the table ate it all, so I think everyone else definitely enjoyed it. - *$37 A5 Wagyu Beef Roll was delicious!!! Its a must for me! - $18 Iceberg Salads looked really good. Our table of ppl seem to have enjoyed it and ordered it extra chopped. - Sadly, the 2 different steaks to pork chop was overly cooked. The $49 pork chop is edible just with their apple sauce, which I was told that was incredible. One the steaks were taken back because it was super over cooked and it came back still unevenly cooked. Our $89 aged steak was overcooked but not as obvious. It was unevenly cooked. I'm glad we didn't complain about it because I just think their grill just may run hot at this location? Or it's uneven fires? Or off day? Update: A friend visited and really enjoyed their steak. Maybe our might was an off night? - $57 Seabass looked like the best entree at our table. It's made with butter, and not for me. I have interest in visiting again to try this dish. - $16 Brussel Sprouts - $16 Cream Corn - $16 Mash Potatoes

While we were driving through Malibu, we stumbled upon this place and decided to make a reservation—without even realizing it was their first day open after the California wildfires. Everything was incredible. The atmosphere was amazing, the people were so kind, and the food was absolutely delicious. The waitstaff were not only friendly but also really knowledgeable about the dishes they recommended. This place has definitely become my favorite spot in Malibu.

Recently had dinner here. Everything was perfect, from the food to the service and the atmosphere . Can’t say enough about our server Yolanda, she is number one the best! Really knows how to amplify a fine dining experience! They even personalized our menu and sent it home with us. Big fan!

Definitely a fine dining experience! Classic dishes with a professional staff and great view of the Pacific Ocean right at your table.

Traveled here all the way from Texas for my 30th Birthday. They were SO SWEET & accommodating to my wants/needs. We booked our reservation weeks in advance asking for a window table but unfortunately during our reservation time, that was not available. We were seated in a room with really loud people, my photos were not what I imagined to be for my birthday & it just was not the vibe LOL they were more than accommodating to assist us in moving tables. & gave us the window table! 🥹😭 Every employee who assisted us at our table acknowledged my birthday which was so sweet! The food was AMAZING!!!!! & birthday cheesecake was the best cheesecake ever!🤤 Dream Berry lemon drop was SO GOOD & got about 3 drinks from 1 order 👌🏽 THANK YOU MASTRO’S FOR MAKING MY 30TH BIRTHDAY SO MEMORABLE!!!🤍🤍🤍 ya’ll don’t pass this restaurant up! I was originally torn between this restaurant and another but I’m so glad I chose Mastro’s!

Great beach with amazing views. Carefully when walking on the beach, some people leave their class bottles. Bring lunch and have a seat on the sand. Small waves, not too crowded, and beautiful sunsets and sunrises. Come on down!

Had a great time this place is very beautiful, I loved it, the air was clean you can really enjoy the fresh , cool air, the water was so cold at first. Then you get used to it, nice place to visit.

It's a nice stop for a view and a restroom. Didn't notice a way to the beach but I wasn't looking.

Great views and very refreshing

Absolutely Breathtaking A must experience I will return with a RV one day Feels vibes and energy were very high here

One of my favorite beach spots in Malibu, I don’t actually lay out at Dan Blocker as it’s a bit over crowded but one within walking distant that is a bit more challenging to get to, only making it more secluded, and more amazing. Malibu beaches in general are some of the nicest in California.

Beautiful air bnb overlooking Dan Blocker Beach.

Even though we had a reservation, it was the weekend, so parking was a struggle, and we ended up waiting about 30 minutes for our seats. In the end, the view, the atmosphere, and the food made it all completely worth it.

I’d love to give more stars, but this place is simply not worth the money. First of all – the area around the sunbeds was dirty. I know the beach is public, but when I’m paying $150 per bed, I expect clean sand under my feet, not bottle caps and cigarette butts. Second – the sunbeds and umbrellas were the dirtiest I’ve ever seen. There was sand all over the beds even before guests laid down. The food was tasty, but the portions have gotten much smaller compared to 2019, while prices have gone up. Even the kitchen staff couldn’t manage to put tortilla chips on the side. Why? Just check the photos and videos from back then versus now. I’m giving 2 stars for amazing bread & because the waiters were kind and very polite, but the restaurant is clearly understaffed. This place is “good” only because of the ocean – which isn’t the owners’ doing, but Mother Nature’s. You can do better, guys.

One of the best spot in SoCal where to enjoy some sort of private/public beach access. Definitely Malibu’s version of heaven, if heaven charged for $45 parking and served piña coladas. It’s iconic for a reason: golden sand, calm waves, and just enough Beach Boys nostalgia to make you hum “Surfin’ USA.” Half the crowd’s here for the sunshine, the other half’s reenacting movie scenes that were actually filmed here. Where else can you sip a cocktail literally on the sand while pretending you’re in a vintage postcard? The views are unbeatable, however be cautious to not let food in the open as the seagulls clearly believe they own the place (and actually, they do). Pro tip: you’ll pay for parking unless you brave the PCH and walk a little — either way, it’s worth every sun-soaked step

Staff was really nice. We had Bree. She was great. Huge high tide waves. Too big to get in with the kids. Fun $$$ drinks. Great view.

Beautiful beach, but not possible to go in the water at all. Too much debris from the sea. Its also a very crowded beach. Bed set is $150 per day. Parking is $45. Nice spot but not complete.

It's been built up a lot.. Expensive parking and food was very expensive .. Save yourself a lot of money, bring a lunch and park on the road, but the view is fantastic!!

Lovely brunch. Great service. And great location just make sure to get your parking validated!

A wonderful gem on the pacific coast highway, right across from the Malibu Pier. Here for a concert 2 doors down, at Aviator Nation Dreamland. Enjoyed both rain and sunshine during our 2 night stay. Be aware the rooftop bar not open, but could still hang out and bring own food and drinks up there. It’s an amazing place to just chill and watch surfers. We had a ground floor room, which is nice, and stylish- and with the rooftop access made you not feel so claustrophobic. Staff very helpful and friendly, setting us up with plates, etc for our to-go food. There’s also another wonderful space to hang out- the library, just above the lobby- cozy and warm ambiance. Be aware that construction and cleanup is ongoing, with dump trucks coming and going from the Palisades fire areas, but rooms are soundproofed well. Many restaurants running on scaled-back hours still, so call ahead to confirm they are open. Glad to be able to come and support local businesses trying to recover. 😁

The check-in and housekeeping staff were great and we liked the aesthetic. It's right on the highway though and it's loud in the rooms so they give you ear plugs. There are cameras but no staff after 10pm and anyone can approach room doors, ground floor patios and cars. We didn't have any issues but just felt a little concerned. The rooms are very small with a small bathroom and small shower, the closet is a bar hung over the fridge and there was no luggage rack. Cell service was spotty but they offer free wifi. The wall outlets were loose and anything we plugged in just fell out. The parking lot is cramped. There were a LOT of ants in the room. We went for a drink at the rooftop bar at 6:40 but were told it was closing soon before we even got to the top of the stairs. Surfrider beach across the street had bio matter sludge where it meets the lagoon, homeless folks and the filthiest toilets I've ever seen. The hotel bedding is nice and it has some amenities but is missing some (pool, onsite gym, spa) that you usually find when a property is listed as 4-star. Looking at their peak rates, these rooms are not at all worth those prices. I wish they had a few pet friendly rooms and could offer a better cancellation policy.

We absolutely loved our stay here! The whole place feels like a dreamy Malibu beach house — cozy, stylish, and right by the ocean. One of the sweetest touches was having fresh coffee brought right to our room in the morning, which made waking up by the beach even more perfect. The rooftop was the highlight for us — beautiful views, relaxing vibes, and we spent so much time up there just soaking it all in. Everything about this hotel felt thoughtful and special. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a charming and relaxing getaway in Malibu!

What an amazing place to stay!! Gorgeous spaces, beautiful rooms, a stellar view from the rooftop terrace and the BEST staff. We were treated like family from the moment we arrived. Sophie and her colleague (I’m so sorry I can’t recall her name) checked us in to a fabulous room (not only giving us the best rate they could but also an upgrade). It was absolute heaven after a long day of travel: my husband on his bike and me following in the car. We had so much fun the next morning describing an aerated iced Americano to Jack (who promptly made it) and Mallory (who captured it on her phone). Next time we visit, we hope to see it on the beverage menu! It is an incredible space, but the attention to detail and the warmth of the staff made it a five star experience. Thank you very much!!

The location of The Surfrider is right across the street from the beach, boardwalk, and a paid parking lot. Free street parking is difficult to find an empty spot. The hotel’s private parking lot is small. The hotel has a relaxed beach aesthetic. The lobby Library has a cozy feel. The bar overlooking the Pacific Coast Highway and the lagoon, is a great place to absorb the gentle vibes and enjoy refreshing cocktails. I would skip their food menu, and rather get fast food next door.

Loved our stay here!! Such a cute little hotel across the beach with a great view off the PCH and close to a lot of great beaches, shopping and restaurants in Malibu. Rooftop is the best part, with really tasty food and drinks and dessert (get the cookies!) and amazing view of the ocean. Nice room amenities as well—Parachute bathrobes and enjoyed having our coffee orders brought to our room in the morning. Will be back!

GO GIVE THE SURFRIDER SOME LOVE DURING THIS HEARTBREAKING TIME!! We knew staying in Malibu while in California for a Lumineers concert was a stretch. We booked the Surfrider not fulling understanding the devastation this community has gone through with the fires. It did not disappoint! I have passed by this hotel many times though my travels and have always been curious. So, on this trip, we went 2 hours out of the way to stay here and we were completely blown away! The staff was incredible. They walked us to our rooms, showed us around, and made the entire experience phenomenal. The hotel itself was extremely clean and beautifully decorated. Our room was upgraded to a top floor room where we had a balcony view of the ocean and the pier. Even with the PCH right outside our door, once inside, the room was quiet at absolutely cozy. This is probably the coolest hotel I've ever stayed in. Every attention to detail has been though through. So go give them some love and give the community of Malibu some love!

Excellent shop. Great customer service. Parking lot pigeons

Great place with great owners. All your scuba needs in a single place, with knowledgeable people who care.

Stopped in here today to rent gear. Whoever was working thre counter was fast , efficient and helpful. Scuba gear was in good shape and very good price for a day rental

Carter is the man! Friendly and very helpful. He answered all my questions and was very accommodating to this diving newbie. Malibu Divers has the best price I could find in the area for Open Water Certification.

The absolute best dive store in the entire state of California: Superb customer service, knowledge and experience, variety of training offered for all levels from beginner all the way to instructor, best gear selection also. I chose Malibu Divers several years ago because I had called other places and NO ONE provided the kind of customer service and information that Malibu Divers' owner, Carter Crary did. Over the years, I continued my training there, bought all of my wonderful gear and went all the way to PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer level. I would never go anywhere else! This is the place!

I am a troop leader and brought a group of scouts out to Camp Emerald Bay for the Rugged S and Rugged O programs. From the beginning, Carter made sure things were organized and easy for me as the adult leader. On site, the boys had a blast and came home RAVING about the experience and their instructors - Barbara, Kari, Matt, and Alex. It is clear that Malibu Divers loves what they do, and they do it well. They went above and beyond to make this week *amazing* for all involved, with efficiency and excellence in their program from start to finish. I would definitely come back, and can't wait to go get certified myself! Thank you for everything!

Malibu Divers is a truly a five-star dive center. My entire family utilized Malibu Divers to become advanced certified divers this summer (our 11 year-old got his junior open water certification). I can see why Malibu Divers has been around since 1969. The sheer volume of knowledge and experience that each staff member has is INCREDIBLE. They are able to break down their knowledge for any lay person to understand. They are also all very caring people, making sure that each student receives what feels like customized instruction (made possible by the small class sizes). They want people to feel comfortable, have fun, and become knowledgeable, responsible divers. When we conducted our training, we saw many competing companies at the dive sites. The smallest class from other shops were usually 12 adults; however, when we saw a big box store entering the water with 18 adults. It was at this point I truly appreciated Malibu Divers mindset on class sizes. Here is why: ask yourself how fast can a weighted down instructor or divemaster get to you if something went wrong in such a large class size. While I understand there are ratios of students to instructors to ensure safety; other variables that are taken into account for all class sizes are divers abilities, environmental factors all the way to divers comfort level. As a result, it make me think how can an instructor know the comfort level and or diver ability in such a large class. With Malibu Divers you are getting a practically custom PADI certification experience with caring, experienced professional instructors. My wife and I plan to conduct our Rescue Diver certification with Malibu Divers next month, and we look forward to a long, happy relationship with the shop.

After exploring the Getty Museum, we were in the mood for some seafood. Our aunt took us here and I’m happy she did! The oysters were really good, the fries and fried potatoes were delicious and the fish was cooked well. The fried shrimp was amazing. The veggies were a little undercooked but they were still tasty. Great place to stop and eat at!

Great atmosphere, great service. Food was okay for me but possibly because of what I ordered. I got fish tacos, calamari and clam chowder to-go. The fish they use is whatever they have for that day, could be salmon could be cod could be mixed(what i was told). It wasn’t bad but the fish used didn’t suit the taco and its coleslaw side. Overall it felt very bland. Calamari - good and crispy when fresh. Not overcooked but standard med. battered thickness. Tasted fine day after as leftover but nothing spectacular. Clam chowder - my fave of the 3, good standard clam chowder with pieces of potatoes and clam.

MALIBU GEM- stopped by the Reel Inn for the first time. We thought it was delicious, staff was friendly, portions were great, and rather affordable! We had the Scallop and Mahi Mahi entrees, and split the steamed clams. The tartar sauce was fantastic. Can’t wait to go back.

Great atmosphere, right across the street from the beach. They allow dogs on the lower patio which is a great thing!! Feels like an old time beachside restaurant. Fried zucchini was excellent, great coating, very crisp and crunchy. The zucchini was not overcooked, it was crisp, not soggy. Scollops were excellent, great flavor, shrimp was ok, a little overcooked and lacked seasoning. Cajun Rice very good, great seasoning and flavor. Cole Slaw not really to my liking, to chunky, lacked flavor. Definitely a place worth checking out.

This is definitely a place to go if you want a home cooked delicious seafood meal without paying an arm and a leg. You choose your fish, seasoning and sides give them your name and wait to be called. Our group had four different fishes and each one was delicious!!! There is tons of seating both inside and out. It’s right on the Pacific Coast Highway but not on the water. You can go to a fancier restaurant with an ocean view, but the food won’t be better. The next time I’m in Malibu I’ll eat here again.

Driving down from Solvang to LA, made it a point to stop by Duke’s seafood or Malibu’s seafood, but then things took an interesting turn when I found another gem. Reel Inn which seems to be frequent by locals. They may not have the best view (just across if you want to see the coast) The food look amazing when we enter the place, free and easy, choose your own seat and head to the counter to order and pick up yourself once they call your name. We ordered their crab cake appetizer which comes with 2 sides. Monkfish with eggs in Cajun style was fantastic, highlight of the meal, the spice gave enough kick to get you to finish the entire dish, the rice was chewy and goes so well, there is some smoky flavours to it which must have come from the Cajun marinade. Fish was fresh and meaty, love it. Goes with their really fresh coleslaw, perfect meal. We ordered both soups available, fish chowder is minestrone on steroid with chunks of vegs and chunks of fish. New English clam chowder has huge pieces of clam inside, gives lots of bites in every spoonful. Crab cakes was zero potato & 99% crab meat in there, mash potato was perfectly done just as we expect in US, and goes well with the steamed veges. Drizzle some hot sauce on it, yummmz On the lighter side, we ordered an Ahi Salad too, what was really great was the generous amount of ahi ahi fish and the dressing had a hint of wasabi soya inside, another winner here. Fish tacos was ok for us, could be because we were so engrossed with the meal that it was left cold so we didn’t really have it at its prime lol Overall a wonderful lunch as a pit stop to have some great seafood.

Quality of food is excellent. Never had anything there I didn't like. Crab cakes are all crab with little breading on the inside. Fresh and reasonably priced. Fried fish was perfectly fried. Not greasy. The calamari steak is excellent. Way better than Neptune's

From the moment we arrived, the service was top-tier—warm, attentive, and genuine. The staff made us feel truly welcomed and went above and beyond to ensure every detail of our stay was perfect. The room was spotless, beautifully designed, and offered breathtaking views of the ocean. Waking up to the sound of waves and sipping coffee on the balcony felt like a dream. The on-site amenities were equally impressive—relaxing spa treatments, delicious food, and a serene ambiance throughout the property. Everything about this stay felt luxurious yet relaxed. Hands down one of the best hotel experiences we’ve had. If you’re heading to Malibu, don’t miss this gem. We can’t wait to come back!

Incredible place to stay in Malibu. We had wonderful ocean front room that had a king bed and a queen sofa, which made it a comfortable stay for 4 of us ( 2 adults, 2 kids). Beach, Malibu village , Aviator Nation store next door, pier next door, a lot of very good restaurants walking or short driving distance made our vacation unforgettable. Also, the service from housekeeping to restaurant , to room service to front desk was amazing , everyone was polite , professional, helpful and made us feel very welcome. Our two little kids were all over the place , but everyone was very patient with them and helpful. Thank you so much for this wonderful vacation!

The only thing this place has going for it is the ocean view. Cleanliness is mediocre, the cafe had dirty tables for hours with waiters not bothered to clear them and the food is horrible. The service and management is unaccommodating with very few amenities to offer. Our first visit to the hotel our room was not turned over from the previous guests. We had items left from previous guests and sheets and towels were not changed. Absolutely disgusting. To make up for it the hotel offered a complimentary night stay which was a great gesture. Excited to enjoy a better stay we were faced with room that was not ready at check in time which meant we were waiting around in the valet area until they finally got it together. Hotel doesn’t have much to offer for the price of the stay. Not worth it. They are probably full due to location and don’t care for customer loyalty. We travel quite a bit and have an array of hotels we’ve experienced in various price points and this one is far from acceptable. Very disappointing

Malibu Beach Inn Extremely Disappointing for the Price For the premium rates that Malibu Beach Inn charges, attention to detail should be a top priority — but unfortunately, that was not my experience. When I checked into my room, there was no soap in the bathroom. I asked the staff to bring some, and reported a slow draining / clogged shower stall, then left for dinner assuming it would be taken care of. Not only was it missing that night, but the next day I discovered they still hadn’t refilled the body wash container either. I ended up having to shower with shampoo, which is unacceptable at any hotel, let alone one at this price point. The shower stall was also clogged, causing extremely slow drainage, so I was forced to stand in 2 to 3 inches of water every time I showered. Another basic issue that should never occur at a hotel of this caliber. On top of that, the room was not clean, and while the staff is very good at saying the right things, there was zero follow-through. They overpromise and consistently underperform. For the cost of a stay here, you should expect far better service and basic attention to detail. Do not stay at this hotel it is absolutely not worth the price. Beware of your safety also. On more than one night I looked out the window and there was a weird stranger on the beach steps away from the hotel who looked dangerous.

Malibu Beach Inn was great from start to finish! A little pricey but you get what you pay for. He got in early, and our room was ready a lot earlier than anticipated. The gym was very clean and well equipped and so was the spa. The service was amazing and attentive. Kenny at valet was very helpful. Lelani at the front desk was prompt and communicative. Ramon was great at breakfast service, remembering our names and preferences. And Sabas was super helpful with our bags. The location itself is very beautiful, overlooking the ocean. There's not one bad room in the hotel. It is very close to great food spots as well! Would stay again!

Practically perfect in every way! Such a nice, hospitable, peaceful place to stay. All the staff were helpful and responsive to whatever you might need or left alone if that’s what you wish. Beach right down the steps. Watched the stars and listened to the ocean all night. Would love to return someday.

This is a dreamy spot. Feels like luxury. Rooms are stunning. Restaurant was good for dinner but not amazing for breakfast

Nice easy walk, while learning about the Malibu ecosystem.

The park is amazing with lots of wild life. Rabbits, lizards, birds of many species. At least that's what we got to see while me and my family were there on a beautiful day out during Memorial Day weekend. We went around the park and took a trail just off the main road Pacific Coast Highway. The marsh and botanicals are beautiful to see and be around. There are large mosaic like statues of animals that represent the animals that inhabit the park. A very nice park to visit.

Great park for a quick walk during the day with some good views of animals and nature.

The park is average. It is not as per pictures. There are all the states in one place. But the best thing to visit this place during weekend. There will be Malibu Farmers market where different items like handmade things and also variety of foods of different cuisines. We visited this place on Sunday by seeing those pics, but when we arrived this place then we saw market and got confused. But if we had visited on weekday we might get disappointed. In the market we tried some of the variety Russian cakes (Vender name: Bleen) and they were amazing. Also tried some pickles from other venders. Try to visit Malibu Farmer Market on weekends.

Quiet place to take a walk and learn about natural habitats in malibu. Nobody hardly around so if you want a peaceful walk this is the spot. No restrooms though.

the statues are beautiful and the wildlife is breathtaking!! go here if you want to relax and unwind :)

Malibu art Association will hold another art show at Legacy Park on 13 July that will be on Sunday. Come and visit us wonderful original heart.

everything about the location is beautiful.

Outstanding children's production

Bacon chicken sandwich was bomb..

Fun show.

No bad seats!!!

GO!

(Translated by Google) I was at a theater exhibition and it was relaxing and very comfortable. (Original) Estuve en una exposición de teatro y es relajante y muy comodo

Nice place to spend some time. It's a village style so not too big and many interesting shops and places to eat or drink.

Open air extension of the Malibu Country Mart. There’s still more high quality fashion stores here in addition to the main ‘Mart, with popular eateries and of course a Starbucks Coffee Shop! Here there’s parking spaces, along with the overflow street parking of Cross Creek Road. There’s also interesting sculptures here as well, including the “Executive Action III”, a smaller version of the “Big Red” hammer. There’s also the “All Together Now” work of dancing sheep. The Village is across Pacific Coast Highway from the entrance of Malibu Lagoon State Beach.

Great place to kill some time, especially if you need to use the Tesla Supercharger. Lots of shops and eateries. Fun seating and playground for families. Lots of variety and clean restrooms.

EXPENSIVE. A lot of surfer shops. Afew eating establishments but I recommend bypassing them and heading to Malibu Seafood. Better than expected prices for California and food is great.

If you want the cheapest looking crap for astronomical prices, then this is the mall for you. It gets an extra star for having the only charging stations until you get to Santa Monica. Be sure to drive around for 30 minutes looking for a parking space after so that you can sample the most disappointing hamburger you can imagine from Malibu Mutt's Grill. What an experience! 🙄

Really good food accessible parking lot and multiple restaurants.....

Loved eating lunch at Whole Foods by the mountains and hills overlooking the ocean!

Nice beach, it was totally empty, a real private beach. Found in Central Malibu.

Beautiful beach. Not to busy and amazing sunset views. I met a man here who was having one of the last nights on the beach with his dog, bc the dog was very sick. Such a beautiful thing of him to take his dog to this beach one last time.

Love this place. Especially wheb its low tide.

This is a private beach with limited access to public who don’t own a property on this area. Managed to get a glance with a few connections and this place is beautiful! Open and empty, amazing water and views. Wish this nature was shared with everybody !!!!

Beautiful small beach ⛱ just the parking is a problem. A security guy from a private area told me that I can park on the PCH so I did but I got a $58 ticket. So I don't know if is in there another way to find a parking, other than that we my dogs we had a beautiful day.

Beautiful beach! I went on the weekend on a beautiful day, and it wasn't overcrowded or dirty at all. Lots of access points, and in a great location near food and entertainment in Malibu!

Special slice of beach. I love it.

Awesome place. Great customer service. And the kayaking experience was fantastic!! Cant wait to go back again.

I was visiting from new york to enjoy surfing. I asked the stuff honestly if the area is good for beginners. They cheated and gave me 2 boards for me and my Friend convinced us that the area is sandy and clear. I carried the board 15 min walking 2 ways then i found the waves were too high and the soil was too rocky. I returned back to get my money back and he refused to give my money back and he was really passive aggressive. Not recommended at all.

My absolute favorite spot to take visiting friends and family. Jump on a kayak and enjoy a relaxing morning along the coast. Their sit-on-top style kayaks are perfect for beginners. The staff here is full of incredibly helpful and kind people. They are kind enough to jump in the water to help make your launch and return experiences as smooth as possible. A+++ for Malibu Surf Shack

I had a great experience renting a paddleboard here. I've had a lot of experience on boards on the east coast, so I was a bit picky, and the owner, his wife, their son, and the whole crew were extremely friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. And they were bustin' loose busy, so even more impressive they were willing to put up with my special requests. The rental rate was extremely fair, and the location is amazing right by the pier. I'm definitely going back but next time I'm hoping to buy a board and get some advanced lessons.

Shawn and crew are GREAT! All his stuff in there is quality hand picked stuff! Get some NP shirts!

I work as an LA Lifeguard, live in venice but love to come up and surf and hang on my days off. I am always looking at ways to support local businesses. I called to rent a couple kayaks for the day and asked a few questions and the employee who answered the phone was super rude and actually said he had another call and said he would call me back. Super weird way to communicate with a customer. I understand they typically hire very young inexperienced kids to work the shop but they should hire and train better and appreciate customers. Hope you don’t have this poor experience.

These guys were great! We are from Ohio and our 15 year old boys have never surfed. Their instructors, (I hope I don’t get this wrong) Christian and Sirus, were awesome. They were really helpful among the huge waves and it didn’t take long and the kids were surfing like they’ve done it 100 times. The best part?? They let us keep our boards and wetsuits the rest of the day without an additional fee. I would go back to The Surf Shack again and again. Thanks guys!

Wonderful and very quiet non crowded beach with views for days!

One of my favorite things to do is find secluded beaches that not many people know about. It's always a challenge to find the entrance, but it's so worth it when you finally make your way to the stunning shoreline. This particular beach is perfect for dog-owners because there are no lifeguards on duty.

It’s a private beach so you have to find street parking but there’s a big gate and on the side there’s usually a door that’s open where you can walk down to the beach. It’s not that far and worth the view. Also keep the beach clean.

This is a nice beach at a semi-secluded area. The stairs down from street level can be a bit treacherous if they have a build-up of sand. I found the beach close to the water line to be a bit rocky but there were some good breaks for surfing and boogie boarding. I also didn't notice any facilities and the beach is mostly lined with private properties. All in all, it was a nice beach on a warm, sunny weekday.

Public access beach however...primarily private streets surround it, (gated neighborhoods with signs saying no beach access). To access the beach there is one tiny steep almost hidden stairway to the beach, so forget it being accessible for people who do not have able bodied privilege. Once on the PUBLIC beach a private security guard hollers at people from the private street above in an elitist neighborhood, the guard comes around threatening people that the sheriff will come write tickets for dogs or noise or whatever else. My dog is a service animal but her tone and literally her pretending to be “looking out for me” and when I was ready to remain there regardless, and wait for the sheriff to provide them with the paperwork for my pup, she kept telling me to “move along,” was pretentious and inappropriate as she has no jurisdiction or status to demand I do anything. It just left such a bad taste in my mouth, there is a clear and blatant intention of this city to be privatized and prevent access for those less fortunate or able.

Nice Beach, kind of secluded the tide was up today so there was not a lot of dry sand but definitely a good place to go and enjoy the beach

Quiet beach, mostly secluded. It's nice going to a beach that has more than just sand. Got to see crabs, sea stars, and even dolphins.

Broad Beach in Malibu never fails to take my breath away. The soft sand, rocky cliffs, and glowing sunsets create the most romantic, cinematic backdrop. It’s the perfect blend of serenity and California charm — a dream location for engagements or elopements with ocean views.

Not far from Zuma, this is a semi private beach, which means that even though the public has access to it, some locals think they own it. But during the summer, it is so busy that they won't bother you (them or their fake security for hire). Technically dogs are not allowed on the beach, even though you may seem a few, but the sheriff makes frequent appearances on this beach, so I wouldn't risk it. I like the size of it, there are some rocks but the seaweed situation is not too bad.

Love this beach for it's seclusion

Yeahh I didn't see the beach, only beach houses.

Beautiful for pictures

My favorite beach. Don't park on the line you will get a ticket.

Has a tide pool

One of the best hiking spot in Los Angeles
