Malibu

Malibu isn’t just a place — it’s an attitude. Breezy, effortless, and somehow always golden-hour perfect. It’s where cliffside mansions sit above hidden beaches, and surfers share the waves with celebrities who may or may not actually know how to surf. And especially after the 2025 wildfires, businesses are reopening and wanting tourists to visit.

Things to See & Do:

• El Matador Beach – Small, wild, and framed by dramatic sea caves. Show up at sunset.
• Solstice Canyon – A short hike leading to old stone ruins and ocean views.
• Malibu Wine Hikes – Wander through vineyards with a glass of something good in hand.
