Malibu is one of the most recognizable places in popular culture. This glamorous beach city offers world-class shopping, dining, and entertainment. It’s no wonder it remains a famous getaway among Hollywood’s most famous celebrities. However, despite its urban attractions, Malibu is also home to natural wonders, with stretches of pristine shores, stunning coves, lush trails, and breathtaking cliffside views. You can even find a thriving surf community in Malibu if you love hitting the waves yourself. The city also boasts a fascinating history and enchanting culture, with museums such as the adjoined Adamson House and Malibu Lagoon Museum showcasing the city’s story.
