Malibu Beach California is best known as the home of the rich and famous. Multi-million dollar homes line the beach front and hills along Pacific Coat Highway. The main public beach is around the 1905 wooden Malibu pier. North of the pier is Surfrider Beach which is popular with surfers because off the three-point break. Also just north is the Adamson House, a National Historic Site located in Malibu Lagoon State Park. The pier is undergoing restoration with Malibu Pier Club now open offering ocean front dining on the pier. Also in the works is a museum and another restaurant at the end of the pier.
Malibu Beach Pier
Malibu's wide sandy beach and the historic pier are the main attraction for visitors. A drive along the Malibu coast is an interesting experience and chances are you will see a few exotic cars with perhaps a movie star at the wheel. Malibu Colony is a wall of houses and hardly any view of the coast. The beach here is public (below the high-tide line), and coastal access laws require that the public be allowed access. The trick is getting to the public part of the beach. All the beach area around the pier is open to anyone so it's best to spend your day there. Arrive early during the summer months and enjoy free parking on Pacific Coast Highway. Just up the coast is Point Dume one of the most scenic places along the coast.

Malibu Beach Inn
Malibu Beach Inn has been designed to create the feeling of being in one's own private cottage on the beach. The Malibu Beach Inn's exterior of light peach textured stucco and its imported Mexican tile roof are reminiscent of the famous missions which once dotted California's coastline. Most rooms are also appointed with an intimate fireplace, and some include your own private hot tub on the balcony. More hotel info.
