Review:

Malibu lies along a magnificent 32-mile stretch of Pacific coastline and is the playground of Hollywood’s rich and famous, who have snapped up prime oceanfront properties to build their weekend getaways overlooking extraordinary Malibu beaches. Surfers come from near and far to ride the waves on Surfrider Beach, adjacent to the iconic Malibu Pier, where you can charter a boat, do some fishing, hire water sports equipment, shop for souvenirs, or book a whale watching excursion.

You can learn about Malibu’s past at the historic Adamson House and the Malibu Lagoon Museum, visit some art galleries, or pull on your hiking boots and head inland to the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area to see wildflowers and waterfalls.
