This gorgeous, southern beach town is legendary in California, a favorite spot of movie stars and professional athletes. The pristine beaches and perfect waves are a magnet for surfers and sun chasers alike. Spend a day playing in the sand and the surf in the summer or watch for gray whales in the winter. Enjoy the arts and culture at the Getty Museum or the Surf Museum before grabbing a bite at a waterfront eatery. Fresh seafood and stunning views collide at many of the local restaurants. Head inland to hike through the hills and canyons or relax at one of the area's wineries. Just an hour from Downtown Las Angeles, Malibu still feels like a world away from the hustle and bustle of the big city.
