Beaches & Fun
Visit the Amazing Beaches: In Malibu you’re likely to see a gray whale or two plus dolphin pods and seals. I suggest coming before 10:00am for whales but you’ll likely see dolphins and seals throughout the day. The beauty of this coastal city is that you can visit different beaches and enjoy a different experience. Below are some top picks: Leo Carrillo is a 1.5 mile beach with tide pools and caves plus a dog friendly zone (on-leash). Surfrider Beach Surfrider beach is famous for being an ideal place to ride the waves but if that’s not your thing you can always walk along the pier and enjoy a meal at Malibu Farm or visit Adamson beach house or the Malibu Lagoon Museum (more info below). El Matador Beach 32350 Pacific Coast Hwy Malibu, CA 90265 (818) 880-0363 El Matador State beach is favored among those who like to explore the caves and rock formations that have become trademark features but be prepared because you’ll have to walk down a 150-bluff (there are stairs). For a truly laidback experience where you can just lay in the sand and take a dip in the ocean.

Splash Away
Zuma Beach 30000 Pacific Coast Highway Malibu, CA 90265 Zuma beach is a local favorite. Paradise Cove is one of the most famous beaches in Malibu because it’s private and you’re allowed to bring alcohol (just no hard liquor) though it’s also notorious for its $40 parking fee (unless you pay a minimum of $30 at the cafe then it’s $6). If you’re up for the novelty of it and budget accordingly you get to enjoy a private beach experience so there’s that.
