Malibu

Malibu is known for its pristine coastline and exclusive neighborhoods. Big, beautiful homes and private beaches aside, it plays host to many events throughout the year, including farmers markets, county fairs and several other community friendly activities. Below are some of my favorite Malibu hangouts. 

Malibu Pier Now considered a point of historical interest, the Malibu Pier was at one time used as a storing and shipping location, fishing center, a Coast Guard lookout station, and now a public gathering place for tourists and locals, as well as event space for private and public affairs. You can enjoy coastal California cuisine at the Malibu Café (located at the end of the pier), go fishing, or enjoy the local vendors selling produce or artisan crafts. Right off the PCH, the Malibu Pier is just as beautiful from afar as it is up close, with unobstructed views of the Pacific. 

Beaches The city of Malibu is home to Malibu, Zuma and El Matador State Beaches. Surf, sand and sun should be the city’s motto. Besides the obvious beach activities, Malibu is so picturesque, it provides for amazing backdrops for photo shoots (or photo ops) and private events. Nearby hotels offer equal parts luxury and unreal views. Nearby homes are also dreamy and grand. Whether you are just visiting for the day, or looking for a home by the beach, Malibu is the place to be.     

Malibu Country Mart Mere minutes from the beach, you’ll find upscale dining, high-end shopping, boutique art galleries, sculptures and gardens, and so much more all within several blocks. The Malibu Country Mart is Malibu’s premiere outdoor shopping, dining and entertainment destination. Retail stores and restaurants are surrounded by lush gardens and cool art pieces, providing for a unique and eclectic aesthetic. It’s a great place to spend the day and sample what Malibu has to offer.
