Welcome to Malibu

Serene beachfront sanctuary with sweeping coastal views
 
Situated along more than 30 miles of the Pacific Ocean coastline, Malibu draws Los Angeles locals, daytrippers, surfers, and swimmers alike with its incredible waves, world-class shopping and dining, beautiful beaches, and scenic trails.
 
The Malibu area began thriving in 1929 alongside the completion of the Pacific Coast Highway, which created a thoroughfare for tourists driving along the California coast and a highly sought-after destination for Los Angeles locals. Affluent baby boomers and surfers in the countercultural movement flocked to Malibu in the 1970s for its low-key, artsy, bohemian vibe. Today, these boomers are elder statesmen and women of the American arts. Though Malibu is a prestigious slice of SoCal living, it retains an aura of low-key luxury, and many of its beautiful beaches can be enjoyed by all.
 
 
In addition to direct access to miles of pristine Pacific Ocean shoreline, Malibu touts a beautiful inland landscape featuring hills and canyons. The trails in the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area are complete with spring wildflowers and waterfalls.
